- Rug CleaningChristian-Lorraine was formed by Langdon T. Christian, IV and John K. Lorraine Jr. in 1985 and is currently owned by Rebecca B. Lorraine and Ruby C. Lorraine. We are known as Virginia’s premier Oriental rug cleaning and restoration specialists, renowned for our hands-on expertise in caring for antique and modern oriental rugs. We feature an in-plant cleaning process where your fine rugs are carefully wet washed by hand. We also have restoration artists that repair, restore, and preserve your fine carpets through careful hand-sewn techniques. Antique and new oriental rugs and other collectibles are offered for sale as well as top of the line carpet pad and Reefer Ghaller moth proofing products
- VacuumingAfter the rug dries we use a very mild bleach solution on the fringe if it is cotton. We are careful to neutralize the bleach in order to not compromise the integrity of the cotton fringe. Once the fringe has dried we brush and trim the very tips of the fringe. Afterward spot stains are treated and moth-proofing and stain-shielding are done, if necessary. The final steps include vacuuming to fluff up any pile if needed and rechecking to see that the cleaning was successful. The rugs are then rolled and ready to come back to the customer.
