Rug Cleaning is complex…If you have a valuable rug or a sentimental rug the last thing you want to do is use a steam cleaner or a carpet cleaning service to clean your rug.
Carpet cleaning is surface cleaning.
I will say it again. Carpet cleaning is surface cleaning. I can not stress the importance of this enough. Our rug washing is a six step deep immersing process just like when you shampoo your hair. Our state of the art equipment uses micro-agitation to gently remove all loose dirt and debris from your rug.
This rug cleaning equipment is specifically designed to remove all dirt and debris that steam cleaners won’t pick up. If this dirt and debris is not removed from the rug, it will not only tear the rug fibers up over time, decreasing the look and value of the rug, it could also fester, creating possible health problems in the future.
If you have used a carpet cleaning service or steam cleaner on your rug before you may have noticed that the back of the rug never gets touched. The back of the rug is just as important to clean as the front of the rug. When you are cleaning just the surface it is not reaching the fabric in the back, so you are getting only a partial cleaning job done. If you want a thorough cleaning you need to clean both sides and get it done right.
Carpet cleaning or Steam Cleaners use harsh chemicals that can damage your rug.
A qualified and certified rug cleaner that has decades of experience will use a three stage process that will include a Colorfast test for dye stability. No strict chemical or dye creation standards exist throughout the rug making regions of the world. A professional rug cleaner will carefully test your rug for colorfastness and contact you with any concerns while adjusting the washing process to prevent any color transfer. We at the Rug Spa use a specially formulated enzyme that is used to treat any pet-soiled areas removing both the stains and the accompanying urine odors. This formula is 100% environmentally friendly making it safe for your rug, you, and your family.
A Professional Rug Cleaning Process will never leave harsh chemical residues on your rug.
The process of steam cleaners on your rug uses chemicals to remove surface dirt and debris but leaves harsh chemical residues your rug that build up over time. There is no dusting process, no pre-soaking, no immersion process, and no rinsing process. When you use a professional oriental rug cleaning service, they will go through all these processes to make sure your rug returns to you as close to it’s original appearance as when it was first made. In addition to these processes a professional rug cleaner will properly clean the fringes and moth proof your rug to keep it from getting damaged by those pesky ninja like insects that feed on your beautiful investment. If you don’t get the dirt and sand and grit out of it which cuts the fabric of the rug over time.

After a professional cleaning at the Rug Spa, your freshly cleaned rug not only feels cleaner, the colors will appear brighter and the rug will smell fresher.
