Step by Step on how we clean rugs!
Good morning!
It’s been a busy start to the day here at Classic Care Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning.
Josh and Nathan are out taking care of both residential and commercial carpet and upholstery cleaning, while also picking up blinds to be cleaned back at our shop. We often get asked how we wash area rugs, so today we’re sharing a step-by-step overview—without giving away all of our secrets 😉.
Our Area Rug Cleaning Process:
Step 1: Inspection
Every rug is carefully inspected for fiber type, construction, stains, and any potential concerns. Honesty and setting clear expectations with our clients is always a priority.
Step 2: Dust Removal
For rugs that are safe to do so, we run them through one of our specialized machines designed to remove dry soil trapped deep within the rug’s foundation.
Step 3: Pre-Spray
Rugs are laid out and pre-treated using cleaning solutions tailored to the specific fibers. For example, wool rugs require very different care than synthetic rugs.
Step 4: Wash Time (the fun part!)
Rugs that are suitable are washed in our automated area rug cleaning machine. Some delicate rugs cannot go through the machine—those are carefully hand-washed instead. Mick works some real magic on those in the shop.
Step 5: Centrifuge
Once washed, the rug is rolled and placed into our centrifuge, which removes most of the water and leaves the rug only slightly damp.
Step 6: Grooming & Drying
Most rugs are hung on our drying racks. Certain rugs, such as tufted wool, must be dried flat to protect the backing. We have designated areas in our shop to lay them out safely and flip them as needed.
Step 7: Final Inspection
Once dry, each rug goes through a final inspection, is vacuumed, wrapped, and prepared for pickup or delivery.
Quality and honesty are our top priorities. While not every stain can be guaranteed to be removed, we can guarantee your rugs will be cleaned as thoroughly and safely as possible.
