Our Professional 12-Step Rug Cleaning Process
Step 1: Rug Pre-Inspection and Identification
Every rug begins with a detailed pre-inspection. We carefully measure the rug, evaluate its overall condition, check for existing damage, repairs, or areas of concern, and identify the fiber type and construction. Each rug is then labeled with a pre-inspection tag so it can be tracked throughout the entire cleaning process. This step allows us to choose the safest and most effective cleaning method for each individual rug.
Step 2: Professional Rug Dusting
Rugs hold an incredible amount of dry soil deep within the fibers that normal vacuuming cannot remove. We use a rug duster and platform to mechanically dust the rug, removing embedded dust, sand, and grit from both sides. This process is essential because dry soil acts like sandpaper inside the rug and must be removed before any washing takes place.
Step 3: Pre-Vacuuming
After dusting, we pre-vacuum both sides of the rug using a professional beater bar vacuum and brush. This further removes loosened dust and dry debris that remain trapped in the fibers. Removing as much dry soil as possible before washing helps protect the rug and improves the overall cleaning results.
Step 4: Color Fastness Testing and Color Set Application
Before any washing begins, we perform a color fastness test to determine if the dyes in the rug are stable. If the rug shows any risk of bleeding or color migration, we apply a professional color set treatment. This process locks the dyes in place and helps prevent colors from running during the cleaning process, which is especially important for fine, delicate, or hand-dyed rugs.
Step 5: Fiber-Specific Shampoo Pre-Treatment
Every rug fiber reacts differently to moisture and cleaning solutions. We apply a fiber-specific shampoo pre-treatment selected specifically for the rug’s material, whether it is wool, silk, synthetic, or another specialty fiber. This pre-treatment loosens oils, soils, and contaminants while brightening the rug and preparing it for a deeper, safer wash.
Step 6: Gentle Counter-Rotating Brush
Once the shampoo is applied, we use a counter-rotating brush system to gently agitate the fibers in both directions. This allows the cleaning solution to fully penetrate the rug without causing damage or distortion. The controlled agitation helps lift embedded soil while preserving the integrity of the fibers and the rug’s construction.
Step 7: Thorough Rinse Process
The rug is then thoroughly rinsed to flush out loosened soil and cleaning solution. We continue rinsing until the water runs clear, ensuring no residue is left behind. Proper rinsing is critical to prevent re-soiling, stiffness, or premature wear after the rug dries.
Step 8: Secondary Cleaning and Buffer Brush Treatment
For rugs that require additional attention, we repeat the cleaning process using a gentle buffer brush. The rug is pre-treated again with the appropriate shampoo and carefully agitated to address remaining soil or staining. Some rugs may go through this process multiple times to achieve the best possible result while maintaining safety.
Step 9: Rug Squeegee Water Extraction
Throughout the rinsing process and after washing, we use a professional rug squeegee to push excess water out of the rug and into the drain system. This step helps remove suspended soil and significantly reduces drying time. It also prepares the rug for the next phase of water extraction.
Step 10: Professional Rug Water Extraction
After washing, the rug is rolled and placed into a professional rug extraction machine that safely removes a large volume of water from deep within the fibers. This process leaves the rug nearly dry and helps prevent issues such as dye migration, browning, or prolonged drying times
Step 11: Climate-Controlled Rug Drying
Rugs are dried on professional drying racks in a climate-controlled room with dehumidification and consistent air movement. This controlled environment allows us to safely dry multiple large rugs at once while maintaining proper airflow and temperature. The result is faster drying times and reduced risk of odor, mildew, or fiber damage.
Step 12: Free Pickup, Secure Drop Off, or Delivery
Once the rug is fully cleaned and dried, it is ready for pickup or delivery. We offer free pickup and delivery for added convenience, and customers are also welcome to drop off their rugs at our facility. For after-hours drop offs, we provide a secure, locked rug drop box with a personalized combination to ensure your rug is safe from the moment it arrives.
