Rug Cleaning
‘There’s more to cleaning rugs than using a carpet cleaning machine’
The professional cleaning of rugs involves many specialised steps that aren't included in wall-to-wall carpet cleaning.
Natural wool and silk rugs must go through all these steps in order to be cleaned safely and thoroughly:
Dry Soil Removal- The most important process is to remove as much dry soil as possible using a two step air dusting and mechanical beating system.
Colour Stabilizing: The rug dyes are stabilised in an acidic bath
Full Immersion Wash - The rug must then be fully immersed in cold water.
Mild Detergent Cleaning: cleaning is carried out with a safe, mild detergent using soft brushes.
Centrifuge Rinsing: Once the rug is clean we rinse it free of all residue in a centrifuge machine.
Fringe Detailing: The fringes are inspected and if necessary re-cleaned.
Hanging & Drying: The finished rugs are hung to dry in a temperature controlled room.
