In-Plant Rug Washing & Restoration

Oriental & Area rugs, whether constructed of wool, cotton and/or silk, should be professionally cleaned every 1-3 years depending upon how much traffic the rug receives.  Thorough professional rug washing is the proper way to restore richness of color and softness of fibers. When these fibers become soiled premature wear, allergies, and insect infestation may occur.  Every time you walk over your rug impacted soils act like sand paper grinding into these delicate fibers.

How Rugs are Properly Cleaned

 

Rug Dusting

Hundreds of soft leather belts gently slap the back of the rug loosening impacted soil.  79% of the dirt in a rug is dry particle soil and can be removed with this process.

 

 

 

 

Rug Washing

A centuries old process with a twist of modern day technology.  Knowledge, cold water,  and very specific detergents wash away impurities. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rinse & Wring 

Following a thorough rinsing, rugs are fed through a wringer.  Here a rug is rinsed a second time to remove any remaining detergents. Excess water is wrung out in preparation for the Drying Room.

 

Rug Drying Room

This specially designed room quickly and effectively dries rugs by controlling heat and humidity.  Proper drying is the key to preventing color migration and shrinkage.

This Hamadan runner was permanently ruined by a rubber based pad that bonded to the rug and the hard wood floor. The rug was literally scraped off the wood floor. The floor was renovated and refinished.
