How Rugs Are Made

These area rugs are made using many varied and delicate materials, and are subject to damage in the hands of an untrained or inexperienced professional. These rugs can contain many different fibers including wool, silk, cotton and linen, and as they can be made in many different parts of the world, the dyes used to create the beautiful patterns can come from natural sources, such as plants that may or may not bleed when wet. Oriental rugs can last for many years, even decades, and we can also take great care of your antique rugs. Reds have a high bleed tendency, as do some blues.

What We Do
When we pick the rugs up for cleaning we first inspect them and let the customer know of any pre-existing conditions or concerns. Rips, missing fibers, loose fringes are all issues.
The first step of this process is to remove the majority of the soil and the dust from the front and the back of the rug. Using a high pressure air system, or a “beater” machine, we can accomplish this, depending on the size, thickness and soil level of the rug. Removing these soils first allows us to give the rug a much deeper cleaning. Sand and soil is damaging to the rug fibers.
Next the actual cleaning process starts. Using specialized detergents based on the fiber type. This prevents any color bleeding or discoloration. Detergent is based on the type of rug and fibers.
Agitation of the rug in a circulating bath until the water is clear. This prevents dye migration also. The dyes float to the surface rather than migrating into the adjoining fibers.
We rinse the rug. The rug goes in a special drying room. We do not lay the rugs in the sun as it may cause color fading. Drying the rugs with heavy duty industrial fans. Inspection of the rug again after it’s dry. Then we perform extra cleaning and combing of fringes if necessary. The rugs are ready to be returned.
Pet Urine Removal
We remove pet urine from rugs utilizing the circulating pool. Your rugs are flushed repeatedly with clean water until no more urine or other contaminants are left. The cleaning process is completed. The pet urine is removed. With a guarantee to return them to you with no more odor. We cannot guarantee that the pet urine won’t damage the color of the rug, nor can we guarantee that the pet won’t soil the rug in the future.
Take proper care of your area rug. If it’s wool, it will last for decades. Proper area rug cleaning is a key element for preserving the life and beauty of your area rugs.
