Thinking of having your Area Rug cleaned professionally?
Top Maryland In-house Oriental Rug Cleaning
Our oriental rug cleaning process will draw from the following techniques depending on the particular fibers, dyes, soils, and construction being addressed:
1. Pre-inspection:
Upon entering our warehouse the rug will be tagged, invoiced, measured, and photographed. At this time a pre-inspection will be performed and any pre-existing conditions such as urine or mold noted.
2. Dust:
Dry particulate soil evacuation is the fancy term used. In sense were using the power of compressed air which is a safe and thorough method of pre-cleaning rugs.
3. Wash:
An authentic hand-washing in a submersion bath will ensure that a complete cleaning will be performed. The further use of compressed air, underwater, now assists with a “Jacuzzi like” Clean.
Any cleaning agents particular to the rug will be added.
4. Decontamination Bath:
This is for our heavily soaked urine rugs. Normally soaked in a urine solution to help loosen any urine making it easier to flush out.
5. Rinse:
Complete flushing away of both soils and cleaning agents allows achieving drinkable rinse water conditions. ( Not really but almost! )
6. Dry:
The importance of speed and efficiency during drying is achieved in our controlled atmosphere drying room.
7. Post Detailing:
Inspected and evaluated for any remaining spots or contaminates and addressed following industry specifications.
Fringes are hand combed and cleaned, rugs are rolled and wrapped in plastic for re-delivery or customer pick up.

- Customers should have rugs rolled and ready for pick-up if possible.
