Job completed for Jute Rug Cleaning and Repair

Completion date: January 1, 2026

Location: Rexford, NY

Why did the customer contact us?

Jute is a completely different type of rug rather than a traditional wool or silk rug.

Jafri Oriental Rugs has been cleaning jute rugs for over 45 years and has trusted organic chemists that work with this type of rug.

The rug has to be inspected for numerous things prior to cleaning

Solutions provided:

Jafri Rug restoration will do the following:

1. Pre-Inspection & Fiber Testing

A professional will:

• 
  

  Confirm the rug is 100% jute or a jute blend

  
  


• 
  

  Check for color bleeding, existing water stains, shrinkage, or backing issues

  
  


• 
  

  Identify stains (oil, food, pet, moisture)

2. Dry Soil Removal (Most Important Step)

• 
  

  High-powered vacuuming on both sides

  
  


• 
  

  No beater bars (they break jute fibers)

  
  


• 
  

  Removes grit that causes premature wear

3. Low-Moisture or Dry Cleaning Method

Professionals NEVER steam clean or soak jute rugs.

Accepted methods include:

✔ Dry Compound Cleaning

• 
  

  Absorbent cleaning powder is worked into fibers

  
  


• 
  

  Powder binds dirt and oils

  
  


• 
  

  Thorough vacuum removal

  
  

Best for:

• 
  

  Routine maintenance

  
  


• 
  

  Light soil

  
  

✔ Controlled Low-Moisture Cleaning

• 
  

  Very light mist (not wet)

  
  


• 
  

  Neutral or slightly acidic cleaner

  
  


• 
  

  Hand-agitated with soft brush

  
  


• 
  

  Immediate extraction or towel blotting

  
  

Used only when necessary for stains.

4. Spot & Stain Treatment (Carefully)

Professionals:

• 
  

  Treat stains individually

  
  


• 
  

  Use solvent-based cleaners for oil/grease

  
  


• 
  

  Avoid alkaline or bleach products

  
  


• 
  

  Never oversaturate

  
  

5. Rapid, Controlled Drying

• 
  

  Air movers placed at angles

  
  


• 
  

  Flat drying to prevent warping

  
  


• 
  

  No heat, no sun exposure

  
  

Drying must occur within a few hours to prevent:

• 
  

  Browning

  
  


• 
  

  Mildew

  
  


• 
  

  Fiber distortion

  
  

6. Final Grooming & Inspection

• 
  

  Fibers realigned

  
  


• 
  

  Texture evened out

  
  


• 
  

  Final inspection for odor or residue
