STEP 1:  PRE-INSPECTION

We will determine as much as we possibly can about the type of rug and inherent qualities that may affect cleaning. We will outline the expected results and cleaning “prescription”.

STEP 2:  DRY SOIL REMOVAL

Woven rugs, especially hand knotted rugs are designed to hide dry soil. A few years ago, the Eureka company did a study and found that a 9 x 12 could hide 87 pounds of dirt! WOW! We use a variety of techniques to “dust” the rugs from the front and back.  A machine called a pile lifter, special vacuum attachments and many other methods are implemented. This is the most important step in cleaning any textile.
