How We Clean Rugs

We are professional area rug and textile cleaners. Part of being a professional is being able to recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to what you do.

If there was then it wouldn't require a professional.

Because all rugs are not equally constructed the same, they CANNOT all be cleaned the same. What works great on tufted wool rugs could easily ruin hand-knotted Persian, weave, or knitted wool rugs!

We always perform an inspection on each rug to check for weaknesses, dye stability, or other damage and

design a cleaning plan based on several factors: How the rug is constructed, types of soil, level of soil, type(s) of fibers, and the stability of the dyes. We highly value clients' input concerning their rugs.

We do not take rugs for cleaning. We come to you and rugs are cleaned in-house.

Thorough pre-vacuuming of every rug is essential as more than 40% of soil in rugs is loose particulate dirt.

The majority of delicate silk, wool, and cotton rugs are meticulously cleaned by handheld extraction tools, while some rugs are durable enough for steam extraction machine cleaning. In either case, rugs are deeply impregnated with neutral Ph preconditioners or soil digesting enzymes which break down soils causing it to "release" from fibers, followed by an extraction rinse process especially selected for particular rugs construction, condition, level of soiling, or other special circumstances.

The steam extraction process removes ground-in soil, oils, and all preconditioners or enzyme solutions from the rug.

Silk and sisal rugs are dry cleaned using special solvent-based solutions.

After the cleaning process, special solutions are used to properly clean and brighten fringes or remove stains and odors.

Finally, rugs are speed dried by high-volume carpet dryers.
