Persian Area Rug Carpet Cleaning

A thorough inspection of your rug includes taking measurements and making notes of all possible repairs that may need extra attention.

When measuring your rug for an estimate, always measure the fringe as part of the length. We will quite often spend a large amount of time getting the fringes to look as good as they can, and that is why we consider that to be part of the square footage.

In this step we remove the dust and dry soil from the rug. Whether your rugs are handmade or machine processed, they have the unique ability to hold many pounds of dirt. In our experience we find large amounts of sand and dust from the rugs that have made their way into the fibers.

Sand is and especially damaging as it will have a cutting effect on your rug’s yarns. Quite often we have rugs come into our facility and unfortunately they lose a tremendous amount of yarn in the vacuuming process due to a lack of regular rug cleaning.

In order to preserve your area rugs, regular professional cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years.

Industry standards are to test the unstable colours of your area rug by searching for vegetable or weak dyes in the fibre.

This helps us determine how to proceed with the cleaning to ensure your area rug is restored to its best possible condition.

When weaker dyes are identified, we have specific techniques to determine how to best proceed and care for your rug.

However, some rugs will bleed no matter the precautions taken to control and minimize this. From the colour testing, we are able to identify which rugs will bleed more drastically and will contact you to explain the situation, prior to cleaning to see how you would like to proceed with your rug.

Our automatic rug washing machine is equipped with 4 soft disc brushes, high-pressure rinsing, squeegees, and a rug roller to provide deep washing of your area rugs. Our new machine includes a centrifuge step to remove 90% of the water from the rug. This allows the rug to dry quicker and be returned to your home sooner. Because of this, there is less potential problems that may arise with your rug.

As rugs have various textures, to ensure these textures are maintained after cleaning, combing, brushing or pile fluffing techniques are used for the most luxurious end results prior to the rug drying.

With the cleaning and grooming steps now complete, your area rug is then ready to begin drying.

Some area rugs are hung to dry naturally, using gravity to pull the water out, while other rugs are dried flat. Air drying methods depend on rug type and will be determined by our well-trained technicians.

We use fresh air breeze to gently dry your rug and when necessary we have a fans that provide a gentle breeze to remove the final percentage of moisture. We also utilize dehumidifiers to remove the moisture from the room.

Drying times vary from rug to rug, given their unique nature and combination of weight and texture. In order to provide the best results, we allow the rugs to dry as long as is necessary, so that you have a completely dry rug when it is returned to you.

When your area rug is completely dry we then vacuum the area rug again, trim any loose fibers and undertake a final inspection to ensure the rug cleaning results satisfy our high standards.

Then we roll your area rug up so it is ready for pick up. We are happy to custom wrap your area rug for transportation or storage, to help with convenience of moving and protect from dirt and dust being reintroduced to the rug.
