CLEANING EXTENDS THE LIFE OF YOUR AREA AND ORIENTAL RUGS!
Many companies that offer area rug cleaning simply do it on-site, they use the same equipment that is used for cleaning the wall-to-wall carpet in your home. Some companies even take the rugs off-site, charge a premium price, and then use THAT SAME METHOD they used to clean your wall-to-wall carpet in your home!

Our cleaning process is customized to your individual rugs’ needs. The great diversity of weaves, condition, age and types of soil found in rugs must be treated differently in order to safely and thoroughly remove both the abrasive grit and the atmospheric soils that dull their colors and cause accelerated wear.
We utilize the steps below to best clean and protect your rug
Pre-Inspection:
Whether we pick-up at your home or you bring your rug to our facility, an experienced staff member first examines the condition of your rug. It is documented on your work order with any special client concerns. Our thoroughness assures that all of your rugs’ needs are met during our cleaning process.
Dry Soil Removal:
Over 70% of the soil in your rug(s) is dry, particulate soil that your vacuum can’t get to. Over time, this soil and grit build up and damage rug fibers, causing accelerated wear and damage to your rug.
The first and most important step we perform is dry soil removal. Through the use of mechanical action we are able to remove literally pounds of dry soil, restoring your rugs’ fibers to a soil and grit free state.
Washing:
We only use surfactants that are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Many of these surfactants are certified as “Wool Safe”, an international chemical certification group. This means that the solutions we are using in our cleaning process are guaranteed to not harm or degrade wool fibers or leave unnecessary residues behind after the cleaning.
Our cleaning is truly a hand washing, we are able to give individual care and attention to the specific needs of your rug. How we perform the wash is determined by the condition and soil found in your rug. The fringes are given careful attention and thoroughly detailed. During the washing we address any spots or specific stains.
Following the wash, a thorough rinse is given. After the final rinse we utilize a machine called a centrifuge. This machine acts similar to the spin cycle on your washing machine and gently wrings the excess water off of your rug, up to 95% of the moisture is removed.
