Rug Cleaning

Some of our clients think cleaning wool rugs will harm them. So, they allow dirt and stains to obscur the otherwise vibrant and intricate patterns.

Yet the number one enemy to a wool rug is daily soil. Grit gets into the pile, and as the rug is walked on, damage is being done! The grit acts like sandpaper, grinding away at the carpet fibres. That is why vacuuming on a regular basis is so important. Vacuuming at least once a week, blotting spills immediately, washing every 2-3 years and applying a quality carpet protector are all vital steps in maintaining your rugs. If properly cared for, they will last a lifetime.

How do we clean rugs?

We thoroughly vacuum the rug first, with our hospital standard hepa filter vacuum cleaner. Rugs hold an incredible amount of dry soil at the base of the fibres. This process will dislodge all of the dry soil that regular vacuuming can't.

We then inspect the rug and carefully test the various dyes. All types of dyes are used in making rugs and some can be unstable. Each individual colour is tested and stabilized prior to cleaning.

We then begin the cleaning process. Depending on soil level, pet activity, food or drink spills, and other factors, the rug is then pre-treated with a specifically formulated, 100% safe for pets and children cleaning solution, then gently agitated. The fringes are also cleaned and brightened with an oxygenated solution.

We then fibre-rinse. This will remove all of the cleaning solution, softens the fibres, and ensures an enhanced colour appearance. Rugs are then speed dried with our industrial air movers.The final step is to apply Foraseal Carpet and Rug Protector.

We clean all rugs on site, for the most thorough cleaning. The correct maintenance of your beautiful rug is the best way to ensure they last a lifetime!
