We can clean virtually any type of rug and specialize in the cleaning of antique oriental rugs. Our processes are simple and effective, even for rugs with unstable dyes or condition problems requiring special handling.
Rugs are examined for damage, stains, unstable dyes, or other problems that may require special attention prior to cleaning. Fragile areas may be sewn to protect them during the wash process. Rugs are ‘dusted’ mechanically to remove as much dry soil as possible before cleaning begins. Stains and problem spots are pretreated if necessary.
Rugs are washed in water using cleaning agents specific to each rug’s condition. Controlled washing practices remove soil, stains and odour causing residues. Migration of unstable colour is managed. Existing colour run can be removed. Rugs are flushed with water and rinsed completely, removing all remaining traces of soil. Finally, all water is extracted using a specialist centrifuge and rugs are air-dried, usually in a matter of hours. Once fully dry each rug is examined, brushed, vacuumed and groomed to look its best.
Your rug is rejuvenated. Soft, fresh and free of odours.
Some of the toughest stains, like pet stains and red wine, can normally be removed. Our cleaning removes odours leaving your rug smelling fresh. We can modify our use of cleaning solutions to accommodate individual needs and allergies.
Every rug is different. We can discuss expected results before any work is done. Just ask. Experience makes us confident and we will help you make informed choices. CONTACT US or visit our facility to learn more about what we do.
