Having said that, we are pleased to provide you with the following recommendations. recommenda-tions. Vacuuming: Hand-woven Hand-woven rugs need weekly vacuuming to clean and restore life to the fibers, but never use a rotating beater bar or brush on the fringe. Pad: A quality custom-cut custom-cut pad cushions the wear on a rug and helps to keep it in place, thereby extending extend-ing the life of both the rug and its owner. Rotation: To minimize wear and tear on the rug and fringe, rotate your rug regularly, perhaps every three to six months. Rugs in lightly used locations can be rotated once a year. Cleaning: Hand-woven rugs should be air-dusted and hand washed each year. Hand washing makes all the difference. At the Oriental Rug Washing Company, the following fol-lowing are the steps we take when cleaning your rug. Inspection and Testing: Every rug is thoroughly inspected for areas of concern con-cern before the wash process. Damaged or structurally struc-turally weak areas are bound and protected. Dusting: No more hanging hang-ing rugs over the clothesline clothes-line and beating them with a broom. Using compressed air is the safe and extremely extreme-ly thorough way to remove dust and dirt your vacuum can't even begin to reach. Compressed air is used to create lift, literally pulling dry soil from the rug. Dusting of rugs creates rolling clouds of soil that are blown off outside by large fans. Wash: Rugs are washed by hand in our 16-foot by 20-foot by 1-foot wash pit. The rugs are shampooed front and back while floating float-ing in cool, fresh water. Rollers are used to flex the rug on a grid system in the water, releasing trapped soils to be rinsed away. Fresh water comes into the pit at one end and the soiled water is removed at the opposite end by a custom cus-tom pump system. Rinse: Rinsing takes place twice. The first is in the wash pit using fresh water and compressed air. The second rinse is after the rug is brought up out of the pit and is hanging on the drying rack. Water is allowed to drain from the rug and then fresh water is introduced again at the top of the rug. As the clean water moves through he rug it pulls out whatever small amount of soap and soil that might still remain. This final rinse may be done from one to three times. Drying: Freshly cleaned rugs are dried overnight. Room temperature is brought up to 90 degrees. Numerous fans are turned on to move air through and around the rugs during the drying process. Once the rugs are dry on the following follow-ing day, the fringe is rinsed, cleaned combed and dried. The rugs are inspected, post-dusted, nap set and Teflon or other topical top-ical treatments are applied when requested. All of the hand woven rugs from all over the world are washed before they ever arrive in a rug dealer's showroom. Whatever shrinkage that might have taken place has usually already occurred. Shrinkage is a rare problem indeed. The three most popular extras are custom cut rug pad, SpotSolver stain remover and DuPont Teflon fabric protection for wool. In addition we offer pick up and delivery, moth and insect control, maintenance mainte-nance dusting.

If there's one thing almost everyone wants more of today, it's a greater sense of balance between work, play, personal time and time with family and friends. But what is the best way to counteract the residual effect of "life in the fast lane"? Watching TV, reading, an evening out, combined with the occasional vacation, just doesn't seem to provide the ongoing relaxation, reconnec-tion reconnec-tion and rejuvenation that we long for. Fortunately, there is a special spe-cial place that brings family and friends closer together, and creates soothing tranquility tran-quility for private moments. A place that refreshes the mind and body alike. Day after day. Week after week. Year after Year. In the convenience con-venience and comfort of your own backyard.

Immerse yourself in liquid tranquility. Water is so pure and simple, sim-ple, yet it can do extraordinary extraordi-nary things. Especially when it happens to be swirling all around you in a Hot Spring spa. This therapeutic use of warm water is called hydro-massage. hydro-massage. Whether it's to unwind from the complexities of everyday every-day life or to rejuvenate sore muscles and joints caused by sports or minor strains, hydro-massage hydro-massage can help you feel better- naturally. The Benefits of Hydromassage There are three factors at work in a spa: Heat, buoyancy and message. Together, they create an experience that is both relaxing and healing. Immersion in hot water raises the body temperature and causes the blood vessels to dilate, resulting in increased circulation. The buoyancy of the water reduces body weight by approximately 90 percent, relieving pressure on joints and muscles and creating the relaxing sensation sensa-tion of weightlessness. The massaging action of a spa is created by sending a mixture of warm water and air through jet nozzles. This "energized" stream of water relaxes tight muscles and stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers. Of course, a spa offers much more than just a good hydromassage. Soaking in hot, swirling water leaves you feeling mentally and emotionally emotion-ally relaxed as well. Fifteen minutes in the morning can give you a fresh start. And a soak before bedtime can make it easier to drift into a deep, restful sleep. A spa is something some-thing you'll want to experience experi-ence every day.
