How Our Professional Rug Cleaning Process Works
Our rug cleaning process includes inspection, dry soil removal, washing, rinsing, drying and a final quality check. Each stage is adapted to the rug's material, construction and condition.
1. Inspect the Rug
We inspect the rug's fiber type, construction, existing damage, stains and dye sensitivity. This assessment helps identify potential concerns and determine an appropriate cleaning method.
2. Remove Dry Soil
We remove loose dust, dirt and grit before wet cleaning. This step helps prepare the rug for washing and reduces the amount of dry soil remaining in its fibers.
3. Wash the Rug
We use an appropriate cleaning method and solution based on the rug's material, construction and condition. The treatment is selected to address the rug's cleaning needs while considering its fibers and dyes.
4. Rinse and Extract
We rinse the rug to remove cleaning residue and loosened soil, then remove excess water using suitable equipment. The process depends on the rug's material and the cleaning method used.
5. Dry and Groom
We dry the rug under suitable conditions and groom its fibers and fringes as needed. Appropriate drying and finishing help prepare the rug for the final inspection.
6. Final Inspection
We check the cleaning results and the rug's overall condition before collection or delivery. Any remaining stains or concerns can be discussed with the customer.
