We clean rugs from all over the world. To clean a rug properly, it should be cleaned in an environment where it can be properly hand cleaned and dried.
A brief description of the cleaning process is as follows: STEP 1 – Pre-Inspection and Pick up We will pick up your rug from your home or business. Upon pick up, your rug will be thoroughly inspected. STEP 2 – Dry Soil Removal We use a variety of techniques to “dust” rugs from the front and back. STEP 3 – Pre-Condition Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify the soils. STEP 4 – Pre-Spot and Fringe Preparation Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringe is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal. STEP 5 – Shampoo Most rugs are cleaned with an Oriental Rug Shampoo that is especially designed to get maximum cleaning while protecting sensitive natural fibers. STEP 6 – Rinse or Wash Depending on the type of rug it will be rinsed with extraction equipment on both sides or washed in a wash pit designed especially for Oriental Rugs. STEP 7 – Speed Dry Once the soil is rinsed, the rug is dried flat or hung to dry in a controlled environment. STEP 8 – Finishing When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft groomers made for specialty rugs. STEP 9 – Post Inspection and Delivery Our cleaning specialist will give the rug a final inspection and release it for pick up or delivery. The complete process takes between 7 to 10 days. |
