Main Street Oriental Rug Appraisals

One of the things that people ask us the most often is just how much their rugs are worth. Luckily, we offer an appraisal service, which has us take a look at your rug, and give an estimate on its value to the best of our knowledge. We look at current market values, the kind of rug you have, the condition of your rug, and lots of minutiae that decide the value of your rug. Got rugs that you're unsure of the value of? Main Street Oriental Rugs can help.

PersianRugs.com Purchased-- What a name!

We're always on the lookout for interesting news regarding Oriental Rugs, and we just recently found out about the purchase of PersianRugs.com. Domain names are fiercely competitive in that they are often snatched up quickly, or squatted by mass-purchasing companies. We hope that the new owner of PersianRugs.com makes great use of the domian name.

Removing Pet Stains: Harder than You'd Expect

Pets are great. Who doesn't like dogs and cats? Our animal companions keep us company and are there for us whenever we're feeling under the weather. Even so, owning a pet isn't always easy. Pets can be absolutely destructive when it comes to carpet, especially when you first bring them home.

Pet stains are not a serious problem in the slightest-- as long as you get them cleaned off of your rug properly. When you clean a stain off of your rug, you are only removing a small portion of what is trapped in your carpet fibers. Harmful and smelly bacteria will be left behind in your rug if the rug is not cleaned properly.

How are rugs cleaned properly? Well, that process is a lot more involved than you might expect it to be. Many rug cleaning services clean off stains how you'd expect them to be cleaned, by spot-cleaning stains from specific parts of the rugs. Unfortunately, spot cleaning can never completely remove a stain. Here at Main Street Oriental Rugs, we're firm believers in getting it done right the first time. Our cleaning service obliterates odors and stains the right way. All of the rugs that undergo our stain removal service are soaked. Soaked not once, but repetitively. This is the only way to insure that the stains are effectively removed. Otherwise, stray bacteria may remain in the rug, causing sickness or odors.
