Step 1:
Pre-Inspection and Pick Up
We will determine as much as
we possibly can about the type of rug and inherent
qualities that may affect cleaning. We will outline the
expected results and cleaning “prescription”. Our
company will come to your home to pick up your rug, or
you may drop it by our shop.
Step 2:
Dry Soil Removal
Woven rugs, especially hand
knotted rugs are designed to hide dry soil. A few years
ago, the Eureka Company did a study and found that a 9 x
12 could hide 87 pounds of dirt! WOW! Vacuuming is the
most important step in cleaning any textile
Step 3:
Pre-Condition
Depending on fiber content and
soiling type, the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify
the soils.
Step 4:
Rinse or Washed
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 5:
Speed Dry
Once the soil is rinsed away,
the rug is dried flat or hung to dry in a controlled
environment. Proper drying is essential to avoid
unnatural shrinkage.
Step 6:
Dry Soil Removal
We then vacuum again to insure
the maximum amount of soil removal.
Step 7:
Post Inspection and Delivery
Our cleaning specialist will give
the rug a final inspection and release it for pick up or
delivery.
