If you’re looking for silk rug cleaning in Sydney then you have come to the right place. Legend has it that the silk fibre traditionally used to make rugs was discovered by accident in China around 2600BC, when an empress accidentally dropped a silk-worm cocoon into a cup of hot tea. The hot liquid caused the gum on the outside of the fibre to melt, exposing just one continuous filament.
The most common form of silk fibre available today is called Bombyx mori. The silk worms are farmed, being fed on mulberry leaves. This silk isn’t as rough and tough as the silk from wild silk- worms, and it’s more easily bleached. Our team of carpet and rug cleaners in Sydney have years’ of knowledge when it comes to silk and use this to apply the most effective methods of cleaning your silk rug.
