Area Rug Deep Cleaning Process
At Wash’n’Done, we specialize in professional area rug deep cleaning that restores freshness, removes dirt, and helps extend the life of your rugs. Over time, rugs trap dust, allergens, and stains that regular vacuuming cannot handle. Our advanced cleaning process is designed to bring back the original beauty of your rug while being safe for delicate fibers.
Step 1
Inspection & fiber testing
Every rug is unique. Before cleaning, we carefully inspect the rug to identify its fiber type (wool, cotton, silk, or synthetic), dye stability, construction, and existing issues such as stains, odors, or pet accidents. This step allows us to choose the safest and most effective cleaning method.
Step 2
Dust & Dry Soil Removal
Rugs act like giant filters, trapping pounds of dust, dirt, and allergens deep inside the fibers. Regular vacuuming only removes the surface layer. We use professional-grade equipment to thoroughly shake out and vacuum the rug, releasing embedded particles that could damage fibers if left untreated.
Step 3
Deep Cleaning & Gentle Agitation
Depending on the rug’s material and condition, we select the most appropriate cleaning method. For durable synthetic rugs, we often use hot water extraction for maximum soil removal. For wool, oriental, or delicate rugs, we apply low-moisture or hand-cleaning techniques. During this process, gentle agitation helps loosen deeply embedded dirt and restore the rug’s vibrancy.
Step 4
Fiber Grooming & Pile Resetting
To restore the rug’s natural look, we carefully groom the fibers and reset the pile. This prevents matting and ensures the rug dries evenly with a smooth, uniform appearance.
Disclaimer: Complete stain or odor removal from area rugs cannot be guaranteed, as results depend on several factors, including the age and type of the stain, prior cleaning attempts, the rug’s material, and overall condition. Our team will always use the safest and most effective methods to achieve the best possible results.
