Our Comprehensive 8-Step Rug Cleaning Process

Our transparent and scientific 8-step process not only cleans your rug but also provides long-term preservation:

 1. Pre-Inspection & Evaluation

Before cleaning, every rug undergoes an assessment of its material, color fastness, and any existing damage (stains, tears, or wear). We use this step to inform you of the expected outcome.

 2. Dust Removal (Deep Dusting)

We utilize specialized vibrating equipment to remove deep-seated soil and dry contaminants that ordinary vacuums cannot reach. This process eliminates particles that could damage the rug’s foundation.

3. Hand-Washing & Dye Testing

Each rug is hand-washed using mild, pH-balanced cleaners appropriate for its color and material. We perform a color-safe test on a hidden section first to prevent colors from bleeding.

4. Rinsing & Water Extraction

The rug is thoroughly rinsed with clean, fresh water to completely remove soap and residue. Effective water extraction minimizes drying time.

5. Fringe Cleaning & Treatment

The fringes of the rug are often cleaned and brightened separately by hand with chemical-free products so they can regain their original luster.

6. Drying in a Climate-Controlled Room

To protect the rug from excessive heat or sunlight, we dry it in a temperature and humidity-controlled chamber. This method prevents shrinkage and color bleeding.

7. Final Inspection & Grooming

Once dry, expert technicians conduct a final review. They ensure the cleaning standards meet our high criteria.

8. Wrapping & Delivery Back to Evanston

After being approved for cleanliness, your rug is safely wrapped and promptly delivered back to your home or office in Evanston.
