Cleaning and Repair Services Standard Terminology
Clean/ Wash– general thorough cleaning service, including dust removal, we will clean your rug including its fringes. Whilst in most cases we are confident many stains and marks will be removed and any unpleasant odours will be neutralised, there are many factors that we cannot control: the nature of the soiling/staining, how long ago it has occurred; as such we cannot guarantee the stains and odours will be 100% eliminated.
Stain Removal– an attempt to remove stains and marks from the rug’s surface. As the nature of every stain and rug is different we are unable to guarantee a 100% success rate, but we will strive to improve the appearance of the rug.
To Secure– remedial work aimed at preventing any further damage to the rug
To Repair– to improve the rug’s appearance and integrity by using the existing part(s) of the rug (warp, weft, pile). It might involve removing damaged part(s) of the rug.
To Replace– to replace the old part of the rug with a new, similar part.
To Re-build– to add the missing part(s) of the rug using similar materials of similar quality and colour. This could include re-piling, re-weaving or patching.
To Restore– to repair, replace and re-build parts of the rug in order to make it look as close to the manner it looked originally as possible
Colour matching- when carrying out any replacement, repair and restoration work we will do our best to match the colours of the new yarns as closely as possible to the existing ones, achieving 100% colour match is not always possible.
Moth treatment- application of a solution to the surface of your rug to kill any existing moth larvae and eggs. This is not a preventative measure
Storage Storing your rugs for you will attract the following charges- £1 per square meter (total area of the rugs stored, rounded up to the nearest meter) per week. We will not be liable for any damage to the rugs whilst stored. If we prepare the rugs for storage for you then we will not be liable for any damage to your rugs whilst being stored (e.g. moth damage)
Collection and Delivery We offer free collection and delivery service of your rugs. To minimise our CO2 footprint, we always try to schedule many deliveries/ collections on the same day and we ask you for your understanding and co-operation. We reserve the right to apply a small charge for special deliveries/ collections where unique arrangements must be made or when you are not available at the previously agreed time/date or when you have changed your mind following our collecting your rug and wish us to return it to you without carrying out any work.
