Additional information regarding the rug repair services by the Efremoglou’s Company.

01. Stain removal – Color alterations 

Attempt to clean stains as blood, urine, wine,  coffee, rust, moisture,  color, marker, paint, color alterations, fading . The result and success rate depends on the stain itself, how “old” it is, how much time has passed until the time of its receipt and how much the carpet or yarn allows us. In carpets with silk, viscose, bamboo silk  or other  artificial fibers  success rate is low. It  may not clean, and the process of trying to remove stains is charged extra from normal cleaning and depending on manhour effort and the client informed in advance in order to procced. We suggest you to inform us during pick up if there are stains in your carpet.

02. Fringes, pipings

Replacement by cutting as needed, the old and worn fringes, pipings or pieces of carpet or rug, with other new ones. When we change only one side of the fringe, or the piping (machine-made fringe, hand type fringe or handmade) will have a difference from the side that hasn’t been changed and cut. There aren’t the same colours and the same threads to use. So we put up the most comparable. It is good to change both sides when it comes to fringe replacement to avoid non-uniformity.

See more fringe samples.

03. Topical repairs

Repairing the TOPICAL piping, fringe, chain or sewing leather. We stop the wound, and we specifically restore the points where the problem appears. But there’s a chance it can be reopened on the same spot or somewhere else. It’s better to fix the whole side.

04. Weaving

Re-weaving the spots where some damages on the rug are worn, torn or even rotten. The piece that needs repair is being knotted again, stimulating the same production style that the rest of the rug has. The repair may have some tonal differences from the rest of the rug.

05. Paint warp (knots)

We erase the white marks that appear with lasting paint when the pile wears out, and we fix the overall image of the rug. The duration of each recovery depends on the rug’s widespread use. When white knots protrude on the surface, they are cut but not painted.

06. Stretching the rug

We will return the rug to you by significantly improving its condition. Of course, it depends on the general use and the sensitivity of the rug to moisture exposure on how long the restoration will last.

07. Laminating (LATEX).

Creates a substrate, helps with openings, rotten spots, dry and damaged substrates. Laminating stabilizes the condition of the rug and takes place on its backside. If the carpet’s already stiff, this application won’t soften it. And the duration of the application also depends on the condition of the rug.

08. Deodorization

A procedure that is applied to carpets and rugs with stenches of things like urine, moisture and mould. It dramatically reduces the filthy smell of a rug. Some cases are challenging to solve and take more time. The duration of deodorization depends on the widespread use and condition of the rug.

09. Disinfestation

It’s applied on rugs that have been already damaged by moths or with a suspected moth problem. It can be fought to a great extent depending on the type of moth and the stage of degeneration. The space where the rug is stored and used needs your close attention. In many cases that the rug is beyond repair, we don’t accept them.

10. Waterproofing

Helps to clean stains at the same time easily. The rug doesn’t readily absorb the dye stain and it wipes if we immediately intervene. The application lasts about a year.

11. Chain on the fringes

This process improves the overall image of the rug. The front surface of the carpet or the rug is removed, as needed, so a small section of the design may fade. A short fringe is created, and we make a chain for tying the rug or carpet.

The Efremoglou Company, identified with the high oriental rug-weaving process, continues to offer handmade masterpieces, always based on ancient techniques: Natural hair processing, dyeing with vegetable dyes, passion and boundless imagination.

Following the latest technological developments and launching new rug protection and renewal systems, gives you the opportunity to choose additional rug repair techniques that will improve and protect your rugs, better than ever.

WATERPROOFING

The rug repair process involves waterproofing with a material that is applied to the entire surface of the rug and the fringes where it creates a protective film around the fibre. Gives the advantage that the pigment stain doesn’t steep (wine, coffee, urine) in the thread and cleans easily. Also, rugs that are exposed to the sun through windows can change their colours, which is why we recommend waterproofing for additional colour protection. The duration of protection depends on extensive use. The average time is estimated to be 11 months, and it doesn’t alter the colours or the texture of the carpet.

CARPET – LIFTING

With the surface finishing process, the rug is “shaved” a few millimetres in the entire area on the pile. This process revitalizes the colours and enlivens the rug. It doesn’t damage the pile, but the fibres at the top of the pile get its surface finished.

DEODORISATION

Spray procedure that is applied to the entire surface of the rug with approved material that biodegrades substances that cause odour and consequently, poor health conditions. The results are always depending on the problem.

DISINFECTION

It is applied on rugs with suspected moth problem or on rugs that already been damaged. It can be fought to a great extent depending on the type of moth and the stage the moth problem has progressed. The space where the rug is stored and used needs attention and control. In many irreversible cases, we don’t undertake these rugs.

FIRE RESISTANCE

Is the procedure when a material is applied with a spray that slows down the spread of possible fire. It does not alter the texture or aesthetics of the carpet. The spray effect last for 11 months, depending on the use of the rug.

RENAISSANCE

Repairs damage to small or large parts of your rug, rotten spots, holes, “eaten” parts, damaged fringes or rails. With traditional techniques and detailed processing, the damaged parts of the rug return to their original form with fantastic precision and consistency.

RUG REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

In addition to our rug cleaning methods – all thanks to our infrastructure – we also undertake the repair of the rugs that have been damaged with difficulties like holes, fringes, etc.

The fringes, the pipings as well as the rug’s edges, strips, seams and substrate, are the most “sensitive” points on the rugs. With the passing of time and maintenance, flicking but also from extensive use, rugs can weaken, open and wear out. So if they have the predisposition, they may show some signs of attrition and start to pluck or spread on the edges. This doesn’t mean that the rug is completely damaged but needs to be repaired or restored.

They also wear out or deteriorate more quickly when the doors knock on the fringes – rails or are more often used by being pressed on specific parts.

The same is observed on the pile of the rug when there is heavy furniture, and the use is more frequent or intense.

With cleaning, the treated points, e.g. rug paint or areas that are worn or prone to wear out and have not appeared or manifested, may become more visible after cleaning because they look better on a clean rug such as knots, warps and pile attrition effects. Also, the rug’s points or edges that are predisposed to open can be manifested by cleaning such as worn fringe rails and eaten pile symptoms.
