What to Expect from Professional Rug Cleaning

Professional cleaning maintains your rug's beauty while removing deep-seated dirt that home methods cannot address.

Initial Inspection

Professionals examine construction, fiber content, color stability, and pre-existing damage before recommending treatment.

Dust Removal

Specialized equipment removes dry soil embedded in the foundation—often several pounds from a large rug.

Washing

Hand washing with appropriate solutions addresses stains and general soiling without damaging fibers or dyes.

Drying

Controlled drying prevents shrinkage and mildew. Flat drying maintains rug shape and dimension.

Final Inspection

Post-cleaning review ensures all issues were addressed and the rug is ready to return to service.
