What is an Abrash Rug?

Looking for a new rug that is sure to make your home a one-of-a-kind? Leave it to a hand-knotted rug to spruce up your favorite living space. When you walk into a store, ask for an Abrash rug - an oriental rug color with a truly authentic design.

Here’s why an Abrash rug is a unique choice:

It has different color variations. The term Abrash, from the Arabic word for mottled, is used to indicate color changes that run horizontally across the rug. So a light shade of blue may have hints of darker blue, but these hues will never be the same as another rug.

It has a unique dyeing process. Abrash results from variations of the dyeing process. it’s never a perfect match, which makes each one stands out. Because the weaver runs out of one batch and restarts with another, it results in different shades. How cool is that!

It cleans up well. The true colors of Abrash are easily obstructed by soil, causing it to lose its vibrancy. Luckily, Abrash reacts well to a professional cleaning, bringing back the rich hues. Unlike other rugs, an Abrash rug will look new for years to come!

Top 4 Rug Mistakes to Avoid

Rugs are a centerpiece that can either make or break your favorite space. For many homeowners, it can be difficult to find a textile that perfectly fits the layout and design of your room. So how do you make sure you’ve made the right choice?

Here’s four big rug mistakes you don’t want to make when styling your home:

Choosing a small rug. Buying a rug that’s too small will ultimately make your room look smaller. Choose a rug to set boundaries around your furniture and help define an area. Bonus tip: It should be large enough so that front legs of your furniture are on it.

Not layering. Don’t be afraid to layer up on rugs. Try a jute rug, which cleans up nicely if you’re prone to spills and stains. Add a patterned rug over it for a unique, playful effect. You’ll be surprised how neatly your space will tie together!

Skipping the rug pad. Without a rug pad, you’re bound to slip and slide. Not to mention, it also adds a layer of cushion for your feet - especially beneath a flat woven rug.

Choosing your rug last. Rule of thumb: choose the rug first. It’s sure to grab lots of attention and balance all elements in your room. If you wait until after purchasing accent pillows, you’ll have a difficult time finding the perfect rug.

When you’ve settled on a new rug that suites your home, make sure to keep it looking beautiful! An annual deep cleaning will keep it looking fresh for a long time! Call the cleaning specialists at Triple S! We have three main plant locations:

 Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street
 Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue
 Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford Avenue 

The Best Time to Clean Window Treatments

Draperies and window treatments not looking as fresh as they used to? Soil, dust, and weather conditions are just a few reasons why it’s time for a spring cleaning. To keep your home looking and feeling new, look no further than our expert tips on when to clean these fabrics: 

Be wary of dust and contaminants - They cling to your window treatments and continually flow upwards behind them - like air into a chimney.

Give it the smell test - Put your face in the fabric. If you smell odors and dust, it’s time to clean.

Check the calendar - Are you due for an annual cleaning? While you can clean your draperies any time, spring is best as summer humidity bonds the soil to fabric. Sunlight and moisture can drastically change the freshness of your window treatments.

So how can you clean them? Best is to vacuum thoroughly at least once a year (especially in spring). Bonus tip: be sure to reduce the vacuum suction as not to damage the fabric.

Need a professional cleaning? Call the specialists at Triple S! Professional cleaning methods include dry cleaning, wet cleaning, and washing. Draperies are then pressed, sized, and returned to you with new pins, exact length and perfect hemlines.

Triple S has three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Expert Tips for Preventing Permanent Fabric Stains

Afraid of spills and accidents? While your answer may be yes, that’s no reason to avoid that beige carpet you always wanted.

Oils often adhere tenaciously to fibers, building up and becoming a physical part of the fabric - but DON’T PANIC! By taking immediate action, this can be easily avoided. See below for our expert tips on spills and spot removal:

1. Blot up spills. Using a clean white absorbent material, immediately soak up the spill.

2. Pre-test spot removal formulas. Before using a new formula, test a small amount on a not-so-noticeable area of the fabric. Put a few drops of formula on each color in the fabric and examine the results. If dye has bled into the absorbent material and cause a color change, call a professional ASCR member cleaner for advice.

3. Do not over-wet. Problems can arise from using large amounts of formulas. Work with small amounts of formulas and blot frequently. Avoid rubbing or brushing the fabric.

4. Work from the outer edge toward the center of the stain. For best results, follow this essential rule.

5. Have patience. Some stains respond slowly.

The Cause of Static in Your Rug or Carpet

Have you ever brushed your foot across your rug or carpet and experienced a snap or shock you weren't expecting? This static in your textiles is caused by the friction between your socks or shoes and the carpet and is made possible by the dry and cold conditions a Northeast winter can cause.

Connecticut and the surrounding states have certainly experienced quite the opposite of a mild winter this year. As a result, humidity has been extremely low making way for such static conditions.

While static charge will vary with different carpet types, overall, it is more likely to occur in harsh weather conditions like these. Electrons create a negative static charge when you touch something (such as your carpet). The electrons then transfer to your socks or shoes generating the small electric shock you experience. This can be specifically troublesome in office spaces with computers.

Some carpets have antistatic agents built into the fiber, but you can also purchase antistatic products to spray on others. The best solution, however, is to add humidity to your home or office with the help of a humidifier. Moisture in the air can carry off a static charge as it is formed.

We know that static isn't the only concern when it comes to your rug or carpet. For information on carpet cleaning services, spot removal and more, visit our website.

4 Main Types of Carpet Fiber

Shopping around for a new carpet? Along with a lot of other carpet factors, you're going to have to decide on what kind of fiber will best suit your home.

Keep in mind that no one fiber is truly the "best." It's a matter of opinion and depends on what you're looking for. Use our guide below to choose.

Wool
This is actually the only natural fiber used in carpeting today! The rest are synthetic materials formulated by chemists. Since wool is scarce it can also be a bit more expensive. To offset these expenses, wool is often mixed with synthetic fibers to create a wool blend.

Advantages: Soft and luxurious; cleans well; hypo-allergenic
Disadvantages: Stains easily; heavier in weight

Nylon
Today this fiber is stain resistant and occupies the largest market share out of the man-made fibers. Plus, it is very resilient and cleans easily. Lastly, it has low levels of static.

Polyester
Most polyester carpets are created from recycled bottles, making it one of the greenest carpet alternatives available. Typically costing less than nylon, it is still stain resistant, cleans well and is static-free.

Unlike nylon, however, polyester carpets don't have a tendency to "bounce back," making furniture marks more difficult to remove.

Triexa 
Increasingly popular over recent years, triexa is very stain and fade resistant. Also priced lower than nylon, it is resilient but does not handle oil spills well.

How to Maintain a Brand New Carpet

A new carpet installation is many things. An exciting and fresh look in your home, for one. To maintain this carpet through various seasons, years, holiday parties and other activities, you'll want to establish a plan of action for your carpet care.

Here's a basic guideline.

Know what kind of action you'll want to take before spills and similar accidents occur. Spot cleaning techniques are effective if performed in a timely manner. Therefore, educating yourself at the time of installation is ideal so you don't have to worry about doing your research when an accident has already happened. Spot removal tips can be found on our website »

Vacuum regularly. For many homeowners, regularly means about once or twice or week. The truth, however, is that you should really vacuum daily. Find a few reasons why in a previous blog post.

You'll want to have your carpets professionally cleaned every year to every year and a half. While regular home maintenance is effective and should be done, you can only achieve a deep clean with professional equipment. Learn more about our on-site services here »

Remember, always treat stains as soon as they occur for a longer-lasting and beautiful carpet!

Rug Cleaning: What to Do When Your Washing Machine Overflows

Are you prepared for a random disaster such as the unfortunate event of your washing machine overflowing? Most homeowners aren't. We don't assume accidents like this are going to happen, however, if it does our favorite rugs and other items that are nearby can be at risk of damage if we don't know how to care for them.

Here's a few main points to keep in mind in case this happens to you:

If the water that overflowed only came from the rinse cycle - you're in luck! A simple vacuuming of the rug should do the trick.

Wool is an extremely resilient material. So if the rug that got wet is wool you're also in luck. Mud along the edge will probably eventually pop off. If it doesn't, you can spot treat it the way you would any other rug. We have spot removal tips on our website »

If the water that spilled over is soapy, on the other hand, you are going to want to treat it with professional services. At Triple S we can clean your oriental rugs & area rugs in house. This allows us to clean both sides and deeply penetrate the fibers for a complete clean.

Have a muddy carpet from a washing machine overflow or similar incident? Follow the directions above or bring your rug to one of our three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford Avenue

Winter Maintenance for Your Rug

With the winter season comes a lot of home maintenance needs. Doors and windows are sealed tight, keeping unwanted dust and allergens trapped inside, and furnaces are running at full capacity - sucking up our energy use and blowing those dust particles back through the home.

To keep one cleaning requirement under control, we're sharing a few important tips for keeping your carpets and rugs maintained this time of year:

Vacuum Regularly: As explained in a previous blog, vacuuming regularly is the most effective way to maintain indoor air quality and maintain your carpets and rugs.

Rotate Your Rugs: Rotating your rugs every month or so is a good idea when it comes to maintaining the consistent quality of your rug. Uneven exposure to sunlight and airflow can give your carpet uneven wear and tear or fade.

Try Carpet Protectant Applicants: Vacuuming can be made even more effective, especially for wool, by applying products recommended by your local carpet cleaner beforehand.

Need further help maintaining your textiles through the winter? Call the specialists at Triple S! We have three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford Avenue

Vow to Vacuum

Do you vow to vacuum a little more this year? Though a sometimes tedious chore and often left for your weekly routine, the experts at Triple S suggest you do so daily. Here's a few reasons why:

• Your furnishings hold on to dust and contaminants that were previously airborne
• Frequent vacuuming keeps your textiles clean and improves your indoor air quality
• Dry soil removal will extend the life of your furnishings and is good for your health

A beating and brushing action on rugs and carpets will give the best results, as it's good for loosening the gritty fiber and damaging soil. Using a broom, on the other hand, is not advised. Vacuums with Hepa filters or central vacuums are best for regular cleaning and always keep in mind that most vacuums come equipped with attachments for cleaning draperies, tapestries and upholstered furnishing. 

Need a deep clean that your personal vacuum alone can't do? Call the textile specialists at Triple S! We have three main plant locations: 

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street
