Advantages of Rug Underlays

  • Protection from liquid: Rug underlays are good absorbers of liquid. It prevents water, coffee, or other liquids from reaching the floor and causing damage. Underlays are exceptionally beneficial if the floor is made of wood. It's also effective for other floor types. The floor cleanup also becomes easier for that. However, the main functionality of the pad is to prevent the liquids from compromising the rug's backing. So, the pet urine can't cause damage and stains on your favorite rug.
  • Scratch prevention: Besides working as a safeguard rug underlays work as a good grip over the floor. For keeping the rug in its place events like spilling can't take place. Thus, no friction can happen. So, the rugs get no scratches. Also, the rug remains safe from tearing. Prevention of slipping rug underlays halts accidents as well.
  • Comfort and noise reduction: Rug underlays add an extra layer to the rugs. The floor cover gets thicker with an extra cushioning feeling for that. So, plushness gives a better experience while walking on the rugs. You will definitely like the warmth of your rug with a good rug underlay due to its insulation during winter. The thick layer will also absorb the sound of its surrounding areas. That will keep the atmosphere peaceful.

Apart from these benefits, a good underlay will reduce repair costs with a longer lifespan.

Do Rug Underlays Retain Indoor Hygiene?

Due to rug underlays dirt dust and disturbing elements like allergens can't go deeper into the rugs. So, it becomes easier to remove them by only vacuuming. This is how it helps to keep the environment hygienic. Because of using this pad, the rugs require less cleaning. So, the rug cleaning interval gets longer. That reduces the user's trouble.

However, the risks of infestation of molds and dust mites are there if the room doesn't have proper ventilation and the internal moisture level is higher than the normal level. To prevent such adverse situations the user must pick the right rug underlays. Also, for the best results the dirt and spills on the rug and rug underlays should be taken care of immediately with regular maintenance.

Highly recommended! I had an oriental rug that had been used in a public setting for 25 years and had only ever been cleaned on-site. It wasn't needed any more so I decided to try to get it cleaned properly so I could take it home. They did a fabulous job of cleaning and repair (new fringe and binding), so worth the cost, it now looks new.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value We had a very good experience with Greg at Heirloom Rug Cleaning. We mistakenly used an improper cleaning solution on our wool rug and he was willing to take on the job.

I absolutely loved how clean my rugs were after Heirloom Oriental Rug Cleaning had them. My two very expensive silk on silk carpets are so soft and the colours are so vibrant now!
