Let’s talk area rug fibers!

It all begins with an idea.

Good morning!

Looking to elevate your home decor with a stunning area rug? Let's talk fiber types!

1️⃣ Rayon/Viscose: While visually appealing, these rugs lack durability and are best avoided for high-traffic areas.

2️⃣ Wool: A timeless choice, wool rugs are known for their durability, natural stain resistance, and luxurious feel. Plus, they're great for adding warmth to any space.

3️⃣ Nylon: Another durable option, nylon rugs are easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for busy households. Plus, they come in a wide range of styles and colors.

4️⃣ Polyester: Offering excellent color retention and a soft touch, polyester rugs are budget-friendly and perfect for areas with low to moderate foot traffic.

5️⃣ Polypropylene/Olefin: Known for their resistance to moisture, stains, and fading, polypropylene rugs are great for outdoor spaces or rooms prone to spills.

6️⃣ Natural Fibers (Jute, Sisal, Seagrass): If you love a rustic or eco-friendly look, natural fiber rugs are a fantastic choice. Keep in mind they may require more maintenance and aren't as soft as wool or synthetic options.

When selecting your next area rug, consider factors like durability, maintenance, and the specific needs of your space. Have any questions? Drop them in the comments below! 👇 Or give us a call at 250-756-4109. We hope you have a great productive Tuesday! #ArearugcleaningNanaimo #ArearugcleaningLadysmith #ArearugcleaningParksville #ArearugcleaningQualicumbeach #ArearugcleaningNanooseBay

Area rug making loom.

It all begins with an idea.

Good morning! Happy Thursday!

Shifting our focus to the art of area rug making looms. Area rug making looms are traditional tools used in the creation of beautiful and intricate rugs. These looms come in various designs, from simple frame looms to more complex, larger floor looms.

The process begins with the weaver setting up the loom, attaching the warp (lengthwise threads) to the frame or the beams of the loom. The weft (horizontal threads) are then skillfully woven through the warp to create the intricate patterns and designs of the rug. The process requires precision and patience, as the weaver meticulously creates each knot or weave to bring the rug to life.

Area rug making looms have been used for generations, preserving the rich cultural heritage of rug weaving. Today, these time-honored techniques are still cherished, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design elements.

We hope you find this glimpse into the art of area rug making looms intriguing, and we look forward to sharing more insights with you in the future. Have a wonderful and productive Tuesday! #Arearugcleaning #Carpetcleaning #Upholsterycleaning #Ultrasonicblindcleaning #tileandgroutcleaning

Some history on wall to wall carpet!

It all begins with an idea.


Good morning!

Let's take a journey back in time! Wall-to-wall carpeting, the comfy staple of modern homes, has a fascinating history. It all started in the 19th century when folks craved warmth and style underfoot. Think about it: as cities buzzed with activity and homes flourished, people sought durable and chic floor coverings.

Enter the Axminster and Wilton weaving techniques, paving the way for intricate patterns and designs. Across the pond, the United States caught onto the trend, with brands like Mohawk and Shaw leading the charge. Fast forward to the post-World War II era, where synthetic fibers like nylon stole the show, making carpeting more affordable and resilient.

But it's not just about practicality. Wall-to-wall carpeting brings a touch of luxury to our spaces, offering insulation, sound absorption, and that cozy feel we crave. From bedrooms to living rooms, it's a timeless choice that adds warmth and personality to any room.

And guess what? The story doesn't end there! Today, we're witnessing a carpet comeback with eco-friendly materials, modular designs, and innovative treatments for easy maintenance. It's a blend of tradition and innovation, making our floors not just functional, but fabulous too!

From its humble beginnings to its status as a beloved household essential. Here's to comfort, style, and the timeless allure of a beautifully carpeted space! #CarpetcleaningNanaimo #CarpetcleaningLadysmith #CarpetcleaningNanooseBay #CarpetcleaningParksville #CarpetcleaningQualicumbeach

Why chose us as your go to for Area rug care!

It all begins with an idea.


Discover why Classic Care is your ultimate go to destination for area rug care! With our team's extensive experience of 30+ years in the industry, you can trust us to handle your rugs with care. Our investment in top-of-the-line equipment and cleaning solutions ensures that we're well-equipped to meet your needs.

We start our process by carefully inspecting each rug for any potential issues. Then, we thoroughly vacuum both sides to remove as much dry dirt as possible. We then pre-spray all rugs to prepare them for washing. We have different pre-sprays for different types of fibers to ensure we do the best possible job. For rugs with natural fibers that are prone to dye run, we utilize a special solution to protect the dyes during washing. Synthetic rugs receive a refreshing bath to leave them smelling great.

Once washed, our centrifuge process efficiently rinses and then removes excess water, leaving the rug about 95% dry. We then inspect, groom, and hang the rugs, ensuring they meet our high standards. Certain rugs are laid flat to dry, depending on their construction. Finally we take them down, give them another vacuum and inspect them to make sure we are happy with the results one final time! They are then rolled, wrapped and ready for pick up or delivery!

At Classic Care, we take pride in our work and love seeing satisfied customers. If your area rugs are in need of some TLC, give us a call at 250-756-4109 or stop by our shop. You can also check out our website for videos of our process. We look forward to helping you care for your precious rugs!

Tips on Area rug care.

It all begins with an idea.

Its Monday! And we are back from the weekend! Lets start the week with some tips on keeping your area rugs in good shape!

Regular Vacuuming: Dust and debris can accumulate, so give your rug a good vacuum at least once a week.

Flip: Once or twice a year, try and flip the area rug upside down to vacuum the back as it will help loosen some dry dirt that has gotten to the foundation. You will be shocked at what comes out even when you vacuum regularly.

Rotate for Even Wear: To prevent uneven wear and fading, rotate your rug every few months.

Blot, Don't Rub: If a spill occurs, blot the stain with a clean cloth to avoid pushing the spill further into the fibers.

Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, trust the pros! Schedule periodic professional cleanings to maintain your rug's beauty.

Sun Protection: To prevent fading, place your area rug out of direct sunlight or use UV-blocking window coverings.

Rug Pads: Use a quality rug pad to prevent slipping and add extra cushioning.

Follow these tips to keep your area rugs looking fresh and vibrant for years to come!

Safely Storing Your Natural Fiber Area Rugs: Tips & Tricks

It all begins with an idea.

After we've worked our magic on your area rugs, we understand that some clients may want to store them for later use. Here are some expert tips to ensure your natural fiber rugs stay safe and pristine:

Clean Thoroughly: Before storing, make sure your rugs are thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Our professional cleaning services ensure your rugs are immaculately clean and ready for storage.

Ensure Proper Drying: Moisture is the enemy when it comes to storage. Ensure your rugs are completely dry before packing them away to prevent mold and mildew growth. Our specialized drying techniques guarantee a thorough drying process, protecting your rugs from moisture damage.

Use Breathable Materials: Avoid storing rugs in plastic bags or non-breathable containers, as this can trap moisture and promote mold growth. Instead, opt for breathable materials such as cotton or canvas bags to allow air circulation. If using plastic, put some holes in it so no moisture stays in there.

Avoid Sunlight Exposure: Direct sunlight can cause fading and damage to natural fibers over time. Store your rugs in a cool, dry, and dark place to preserve their color and integrity.

Protect Against Pests: Moths can wreak havoc on natural fiber rugs, but our post-cleaning treatment provides a solution. We spray a safe solution that deters moths from feasting on your rugs, ensuring they remain intact and beautiful during storage.

Regular Check-ups: Periodically inspect your stored rugs for any signs of mold, mildew, or pest infestation. Early detection allows for prompt action to prevent further damage.

Remember, proper storage is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of your natural fiber area rugs. Trust Classic Care to not only clean your rugs but also provide expert advice for their care and maintenance. Picture is from a wool rug that was affected by moths.

Shopping for a new Area rug?

It all begins with an idea.


Hunting for the perfect area rug? Here's what to keep in mind:

1- Size and shape: Measure your space to determine the ideal rug size and shape that will complement your room. Consider the furniture layout and traffic flow.

4- Color and pattern: Choose a rug that harmonizes with your existing decor. Consider the color scheme, pattern size, and design style to create the desired atmosphere.

5- Maintenance requirements: Assess the rug's care instructions. Some materials may require more frequent cleaning or specialized maintenance, so select accordingly.

6- Budget considerations: Determine your budget range and explore options within that range. Remember that quality rugs can be an investment that adds value to your space.

7- Trustworthy seller: Purchase from a reputable seller who provides detailed information about the rug's origin, materials, and any certifications.

8-And Finally, bring it to Classic Care for a good proffesional wash! 🙂

Why Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning!

It all begins with an idea.


Good morning, everyone! Let's talk about a game-changer: Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning. Ever struggled with blinds coated in stubborn grease and dust? We've got the perfect solution!

Cleaning blinds at home can be a real hassle, especially when a simple wipe-down just won't cut it. That's where our ultrasonic cleaning comes in. Say goodbye to the time-consuming task of manual cleaning!

Here's how it works: Drop off your blinds at our shop before noon, and we'll have them sparkling clean for you by the next day. Opt for our pickup service, and we'll handle everything—from carefully removing the blinds at your home to delivering them back to you two days later, all freshly cleaned and ready to hang.

Why Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning? Ultrasonic technology uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate water and cleaning solution, effectively removing dirt, grime, and allergens from every nook and cranny of your blinds. This method ensures a thorough clean, leaving your blinds looking and feeling like new.

To maintain your blinds' pristine condition, we recommend giving them a good dusting every couple of weeks. And if you have fabric blinds in windows that open, remember not to completely lower them, as trapped condensation can lead to mold and mildew buildup.

A little area rug history.

It all begins with an idea.

Let's delve into the Fascinating History of Rugs!

Throughout centuries, humanity's evolution intertwines with the evolution of rugs. From ancient tribal practices of weaving weeds and grasses to primitive structures, to nomadic tribes crafting rugs from animal hides and hairs, the journey of rug-making spans over 5000 years.

Fast forward to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, where extensive research by archaeologists unveils the prevalence of carpets over 4000 years ago.

While "rugs" and "carpets" are often used interchangeably, rugs are loosely placed floor coverings, while carpets cover the entire floor, secured in place.

The term "rug" originates from "rugged," denoting deeper and shaggier piles. In contrast, carpets are firmly affixed to the floor.

From ancient traditions to modern-day decor, rugs continue to weave stories of cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Explore the timeless allure of rugs in your space today!

Looking to buy a new area rug? Here is what to look for.

It all begins with an idea.

Planning to Buy a New Area Rug? Here's What to Look For!

Choosing the perfect area rug can elevate your space, but it's essential to consider a few key factors. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Size Matters:

Ensure the rug is the right size for your space. It should fit comfortably under your furniture or define the area in which it's placed.

2️⃣ Material Quality:

Pay attention to the material. Wool and natural fibers offer durability and a luxurious feel, while synthetic fibers are often more affordable and easier to clean.

3️⃣ Design and Style:

Consider the design and style of the rug. Choose a pattern and color that complements your existing decor and enhances the ambiance of the room.

4️⃣ Maintenance Requirements:

Think about maintenance. Some rugs require more upkeep than others, so consider your lifestyle and how much time you can dedicate to cleaning and maintenance.

5️⃣ Budget:

Set a budget. Rugs come in a wide range of price points, so determine how much you're willing to spend and look for options that fit within your budget.

6️⃣ Quality Construction:

Check the construction quality. Look for tightly woven edges, even stitching, and a sturdy backing to ensure longevity.

Remember, your area rug is not just a piece of decor—it's an investment that can tie the entire room together. Choose wisely to create a space that reflects your style and personality!
