And taken to our dedicated rug wash facility in Elstree. Purpose-built and equipped with advanced rug-washing machinery, it enables us to provide a level of care and cleaning that goes far beyond what can be achieved with superficial portable cleaning or in-home treatments. This controlled environment allows us to tailor the process to each rug, ensuring deeper cleaning while protecting delicate fibres and dyes.

Before an area rug undergoes the cleaning process, the initial stage involves a thorough inspection. This examination assesses various factors such as age, condition, colour characteristics, fibre type, soil or debris levels, stains, spots, and other potential damages. The selection of an appropriate cleaning or restoration process depends on these crucial factors

Conducting dye and pH tests before cleaning a rug is essential for ensuring colourfastness, identifying material compatibility, preventing potential damage, and tailoring the cleaning approach. These tests contribute to a customised and effective cleaning process, preserving the rug’s quality, colour vibrancy, and overall integrity while extending its lifespan.

The pivotal stage of a rug cleaning process lies in dusting and dry soil removal, showcasing a notable distinction between our facility cleaning and in-home wet extraction. By eliminating dry soil before introducing moisture, we proactively avert issues like mud formation, unpleasant odours, and the challenge of reaching deeply embedded contaminants.

Based on our tests and industry knowledge we’ll decide on the best cleaning process, i.e dry clean if delicate or antique rugs or full immersion process for other rugs.

Full Immersion Cleaning
Entire rug is submerged in the cleaning solution, ensuring thorough saturation of every fibre and facilitating the effective lifting of contaminants. Following immersion, soft mechanical brushes are strategically utilised to delicately agitate the fibres, expertly dislodging dirt and stains. This meticulous step aids in breaking up and removing contaminants, all while safeguarding the integrity of the rug.

Dry Cleaning

For delicate/antique rugs these are cleaned by hand using specialised dry clean or low moisture products to protect fragile fibres.

Following a thorough cleaning, the rug undergoes a Power Rinse to flush out any remaining cleaning solutions. Subsequently, it is placed in a Centrifuge, a specialised machine that rapidly removes excess water. This dual process ensures a residue-free and efficiently drying rug.

Our rug drying process is a crucial final step to preserve your rug’s quality. After a thorough cleaning and water removal, the rug enters a controlled drying area to prevent issues like mold, fiber damage, and color bleeding. Efficient drying ensures your rug not only looks pristine but also maintains its integrity, reflecting our commitment to a thorough and safe cleaning process.
