Our Premium Area Rug Cleaning Process
Pre wash inspection: Each rug is inspected for any pre existing
condition. Many times soil covers up dye lot variations, stains, prior dye
bleeding, worn areas or white knots that become uncovered after the wash.
If you deliver the rugs to us, than this inspection takes place with you, and we
can discuss any areas of concern that you have regarding your rugs and your
cleaning options.
If we transport your rug to our facility, our cleaning team will inspect your
rug after its arrival and will contact you with any work recommendations or
pre-cleaning discoveries.
Dusting and vacuuming: Once the pre wash inspection is completed and the wash
proceeds, the first step is dusting. Some rugs can hold up to one pound of dirt
per square foot before it will look “dirty”. Wetting a rug with pounds of fine
grit in the foundation creates mud…so dusting is an important step to the wash
process. This is performed by laying the rug face down on a metal grid and then
using a specialized piece of equipment to beat the dry soil out of the
foundation of your rug. This is the most important process we do, 95% of the
soil is removed when dry.
The cleaning process: The dyes of your rug are tested for color fastness.
If the dyes are not colorfast, then the rug is bathed first in a dye lock
product to set the dyes during the wash process. The rug is then given a cold
water, mild shampoo bath, using soft brushes for mild agitation. Both the face
and back of the rug receive the same cleaning treatment (if the back is
washable). The rug is soaked for a certain length of time, depending on how much
surface soil and spotting needs to be gently worked out and rinsed from the rugs
fibers. The rug is then thoroughly rinsed with water and carefully extracted.
The drying process: All rugs are dried in a controlled environment using
air movers to accelerate drying time. The rug is placed on a drying rack or
dried flat depending on the dye stability.
The first time a rug is cleaned, it is typical for a rug to shrink slightly
(less than an inch – just as cotton and wool clothing does in a cold water hand
wash.)
Fringe Work & Finishing : Fringe tassels are washed an additional time
if necessary after the original cleaning. The tassels are then dried. The rug is given a
final grooming, and then rolled and wrapped in plastic
Tips on caring for your Oriental and Specialty area rugs:
- - Always place a high quality underlayment under your area rugs
- - Vacuum regularly, being careful to stay away from the fringe
- - Blot up spills immediately
- - Have your area rug professionally cleaned every one to three years
- - Rotate your rug every 3 to 4 months for even wear & light exposure
