I recently attended a seminar on cleaning
Oriental rugs hosted by Kim Esber. Esber's is a full
service Oriental carpet store featuring a good mix of new
older and antique carpets. Here we see Kim an some of the
participants in the rug washing facility.
Kim Esber (left in boots) explained to
us about the various cleaners used in the process
including some specialty ones such as enzymes for pet
stains.
Esber's has a large area for washing
rugs that Kim's father built. It allows them to wash room
size carpets indoors all year round and dry them.
Kim had chosen a carpet stained with
pet urine as the sample rug. After the cleaning process
the stain and smell was gone.
Esber's has a large hydraulic press
which does a nice job.
The final step was getting the carpet
hung in the dying room.
Kim explained to all of us about
maintaining the proper humidity to dry the rugs.
A special treat was Denise from Woven
Legends. She gave us a guided tour of the Woven Legends
rugs.
All in all it was an
enjoyable and educational experience.
