Bessarabian rugs, renowned for their intricate craftsmanship and vibrant patterns, require specialized care to maintain their aesthetic value and structural integrity. Jafri Rug's professional cleaning process for such fine textiles involves several meticulous steps:

nitial Inspection: A thorough assessment is conducted to identify any pre-existing damage, stains, or wear, allowing the cleaner to determine the appropriate cleaning method based on the rug’s condition and material composition.

Dusting and Pre-Cleaning: The rug is carefully dusted and vacuumed to remove embedded dirt and debris, preventing damage to the fibers during the cleaning process.

Handwashing: The rug is then washed using gentle, pH-balanced cleaning solutions. Handwashing ensures that the fibers are treated delicately, preserving the vibrancy of the dyes and preventing any fading or bleeding of colors.

Drying Process: After washing, the rug undergoes a controlled drying process in a climate-regulated environment. This step is crucial to avoid the risk of mold growth or distortion of the rug’s shape.

Fringe and Edge Maintenance: Particular attention is paid to the fringe and edges of the rug, which are often the most vulnerable areas. Professional cleaning includes reinforcing and tidying these sections to prevent fraying and further deterioration.

Repairs and Restoration: Any necessary repairs, such as reweaving, patching, or stitching of loose ends, are carried out to restore the rug’s structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Entrusting your Bessarabian rug to a specialist ensures that the cleaning process is carried out with the utmost care, preserving both its historical value and visual charm. It is essential to choose a professional with expertise in handling fine, handmade rugs to guarantee a superior level of service.
