Rug Cleaning in High Wycombe
Two things change the look of a rug without anything being spilt on it: light and footfall, and both arrive from one side. A rug in front of a window fades where the sun reaches it, and because High Wycombe is built up the sides of a valley a great many rooms here take strong light from one direction all afternoon. Turning the rug end for end twice a year evens it out.
Footfall does something different again. Pile has a direction, and walking the same line day after day lays the tufts flat, so the rug looks two shades lighter from one end of the room and darker from the other. That is shading rather than soiling, and no amount of cleaning changes it. What it does respond to is rotation, which shares the wear and the lay around.
We set the pile when we clean, brushing it back to one direction while the rug dries, and that is the point at which a tired rug either looks cared for or does not. If a rug has lived in the same spot for ten years we will tell you what is permanent before we start, so that the finished result is not a surprise to anybody.

High Wycombe questions
The things people in High Wycombe ask us most often.
One end of my rug looks lighter than the other. Why?
Pile direction. Walking the same route lays the tufts over, and a laid pile reflects light differently from an upright one. It is not dirt and it is not fading. Cleaning and setting the pile helps, and rotating the rug twice a year prevents it.
How often should a rug be turned round?
Twice a year suits most rooms, more often if it sits in strong light or across a doorway. It spreads the footfall and the sun, and it gives you a reason to vacuum underneath, which is where grit and moth damage both begin.
Can faded colour be brought back?
No. Fading is light breaking the dye down, and nothing a cleaner does restores it. Cleaning lifts the dullness that soil causes, which often looks like fading and is not. We will say which of the two is in front of us before quoting.
