Our Step-by-Step Rug Cleaning Process

1. Initial Inspection and Assessment

The first step in our cleaning process is a thorough inspection of your rug. During this stage, we:

  • Identify the rug’s type, material, and condition.
  • Examine the rug for any stains, damage, or signs of wear.
  • Discuss specific concerns or cleaning requests you may have.

This assessment helps us tailor the cleaning process to suit the unique needs of your rug, ensuring the best possible results.

2. Dust and Dirt Removal

Over time, rugs accumulate large amounts of dirt, dust, and debris that become embedded deep within the fibers. We begin by using specialized equipment to gently loosen and remove this buildup. This step is crucial as it prevents abrasive particles from damaging the rug during the washing process. Our dust removal process includes:

  • Gentle Dusting: A low-pressure air system or rug beater is used to dislodge dirt from both the surface and deep within the fibers.
  • Vacuuming: High-powered vacuums are employed to remove all loosened particles.

3. Pre-Treatment of Stains and Spots

Before the full cleaning begins, we address any specific stains or spots that need extra attention. Our experts use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning agents to:

  • Pre-treat stains such as food, pet accidents, wine, and more.
  • Gently loosen tough spots without damaging the rug’s delicate fibers.

4. Gentle Washing and Cleaning

Next, your rug undergoes a deep cleaning that’s customized to its material—whether it’s wool, silk, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Our washing methods include:

  • Handwashing for delicate or antique rugs.
  • Submersion Cleaning for a more thorough cleanse, depending on the rug’s durability.
  • Eco-Friendly Solutions: We use specially formulated cleaning agents that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment.
  • Controlled Water Temperature: Ensuring the temperature is safe for the rug's fibers and dyes, preventing shrinkage or fading.

5. Rinsing

Once the cleaning is complete, we thoroughly rinse the rug to remove any remaining soap, dirt, or cleaning solutions. We ensure that all residues are eliminated, leaving the rug fresh and clean.

6. Water Extraction

To remove excess water, we use a combination of methods to gently but effectively extract moisture from the rug:

  • Centrifugal Extraction: A spinning process that safely removes water without straining or damaging the rug fibers.
  • Squeegeeing: For more delicate rugs, we use manual squeegees to extract water in a controlled and safe manner.

7. Controlled Drying

After the cleaning and extraction process, we dry your rug in a temperature-controlled environment. Proper drying is essential to prevent mold, mildew, and damage to the rug’s structure. We use:

  • Air-Drying: For delicate or antique rugs that require a slower, gentler drying process.
  • Drying Racks and Fans: To ensure even drying throughout the rug, we use air circulation systems that expedite the process without heat damage.

8. Post-Cleaning Inspection

Once your rug is dry, we perform a final inspection to ensure the cleaning was successful and that your rug is free from stains, odors, and dirt. We also ensure that the rug’s texture and appearance have been preserved. If any additional treatments are needed, we address them at this stage.

9. Grooming and Finishing

To restore the rug’s natural appearance, we perform a light grooming process. This may include:

  • Pile Brushing: Restoring the softness and smoothness of the rug fibers.
  • Fringe Cleaning: Special attention is given to the fringes, ensuring they are clean and untangled.

10. Final Packaging and Delivery

After a successful cleaning, we carefully package your rug to protect it during transport. Whether you choose to pick it up or have it delivered, we ensure that your rug is returned to you in pristine condition.
