MicroSeal: The ONLY Permanent
Fabric Protector in the World
MicroSeal was specifically and expressly designed in England many years ago
to permanently replenish the natural protective agent that a sheep produces
for its own coat. In addition to wear and stain protection, MicroSeal provides
substantial sun fade resistance for the fibers.
Without MicroSeal soil is naturally absorbed into the center of natural fibers,
hiding the dirt from the naked eye. Often consumers don’t realize their fibers are
dirty because they can’t see it. Unlike a typical fabric protector that only “coats”
the fiber and then breaks up needing to be re-applied, MicroSeal penetrates
the fibers to its inner cortex and protects it from the inside out. Not only from
permanent stains and wear, but also from sun fade damage.
What fabrics can be permanently protected?
Virtually every type of fibrous fabric including wool, cotton, nylon, polyester
blends, silk, natural suede, synthetic suede and even smooth finished leather. You can have all types of items
protected including fine furniture, oriental rugs, carpets, curtains, interiors of boats, planes and cars and patio garden
furniture. MicroSeal is not effective on vinyl.
The MicroSeal will not break up, wear off, or clean off and will continue to protect the fibers from permanent stains
and sun fading for many years.

Basic Rug Care
Washing Rugs
If your rug is small and the label says “machine
washable,” shake the rug outside first and then put it in
the washing machine at the recommended temperature.
Use warm water (90 to 105 degrees) and a mild detergent.
Tumble your rug dry at the lowest heat setting.
Beating Larger Rugs
Most large area rugs should be professionally cleaned,
especially if they are hand-made. Not only are they difficult
to handle, but it is nearly impossible to remove all of the
dust, pollen, dander, and pollutants by cleaning the rug in
your home. Dyes can bleed and fringes can turn brown.
When a large rug is wet, it is extremely heavy, and
without the proper equipment, it can take several days
to dry. This creates the potential for mold, rot, odors, and
permanent damage to the foundation yarns. Call Clean As
A Whistle to handle this delicate process for you.
Vacuuming Area Rugs
Area rugs with fringe require a special technique. Use
gentle suction and start from the center of the carpet,
vacuuming toward the fringe and being careful not to
catch the strands in the beater bar. Lift the carpet edge to
vacuum beneath the fringe.
Caring for Oriental, Turkish, or Persian Rugs
Clean imported rugs according to your carpet
manufacturer’s specifications or bring in a professional
cleaning service such as Clean As A Whistle. Be
gentle with fringe. For heirloom-type rugs, you need
professionals.
Got Moths?
The picture to the right shows moth damage on a rug. If you’ve
had a moth infestation in your home, you will need to get your
rugs exterminated before you can bring them in. Many times, if
your rug has had moths on it, it will affect the other rugs in our
warehouse. Our trained technicians will unfortunately have to turn
away any rugs with moths on them to avoid having the moths
transfer over to the other rugs in our warehouse. If you need
help identifying whether or not you have moth damage, you can
always send us a picture to our info@cleanasawhistlehouston.
com and we will be more than happy to let you know.
