Native American Rug Cleaning
Native American Rugs are a point of much historical controversy. This is because they were often taken by force by the settlers rather than by trade. However, regardless of the "dirt" in their past, they are absolutely intriguing works of art. The Navajo indians are the best of the best when it comes to examining this. Their weaving had been around for centuries, but upon contact with the settlers, they learned that they could trade their more intricate designs for more moneythan the simple designs. This led to many designs featuring their beliefs in spirits and the natural as well as supernatural. Since these people did not record histoty, this has become much of what is left of their legacy and it can often be found in the homes of unknowing consumers. The Native Americans wove using specialty sheeps wool that was specifically hardy to their area.

"When I called InstaDry I was having problems with a couple of spots that I couldn't get out. I remember them asking what my rug was made out of so they could price the cleaning. Well I had ordered the rug online from an 'e-tailer' that was on sale and had an interesting design. Turns out that it was made by a native american indian tribe, most likely by hand and that it was made with a very dense sheep's wool. I don't remember exactly why, but the wool was soaking up soap and then it was making it sticky and more dirt would cling making it look like spots were returning. Anyways, when they finished cleaning it,the spots indeed did not come back. "
