Our Signature Wash Process
Our eight-step rug washing process mirrors the traditional river-wash methods of the East, updated for safety and control in our climate-regulated facility:
Pre-Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your rug’s condition, fibers, construction, and dye stability. This allows us to identify areas of concern and recommend any specialized treatments.
Dust Removal
Rugs can harbor several pounds of dust and debris deep within the pile. Our industrial dusting floor uses gentle vibration to remove this dry soil without damaging the fibers.
Gentle Soaking & Hand Cleaning
Based on fiber type and condition, we apply a gentle, pH-balanced solution and hand-clean both sides of the rug. This lifts soil, allergens, and embedded contaminants while preserving texture and dye vibrancy.
Pure Water Rinse
We rinse the rug repeatedly with cool, clear water, top to bottom, front and back, until the water runs completely clean. This critical step prevents residue buildup and fiber damage.
Controlled Extraction
Our specialized wringing equipment safely extracts excess water without over-twisting or pulling fibers. Quick water removal is key to preventing mold and mildew.
Detailed Fringe & Edge Cleaning
Fringes and borders are treated by hand using fine-detail tools and appropriate solutions to brighten and restore without causing fray or yellowing.
Climate-Controlled Drying
Rugs are hung or laid flat depending on their structure, then dried in our humidity-controlled dry room. This ensures an even, safe drying process that preserves shape and integrity..
Final Inspection & Finishing
Once dry, each rug is re-inspected, brushed, and prepped for return. Wrapping and labeling are done with care to ensure your rug arrives back to you in impeccable condition.
