Rug Cleaning Del Mar

The trained technician will first inspect your rug to determine what type of rug it is and what types of cleaning methods can be used.  We devise a step-by-step procedure to best clean your rug.  We will inform you of the expected results so there will be no surprises.

Most rugs which need to be cleaned have encrusted dirt and soil in the rug fibers. It is imperative to extract this dried soil before you start the cleaning process. We use different strategies to loosen dirt from the rug’s front and back side. Along with various vacuum attachments, a machine called a pile lifter may be used to remove as much hidden dirt as possible.

If necessary, hard to extract dirt is pre-conditioned to emulsify (break down) the soil into smaller bits for better removal.

Next, especially dirty spots are pre-treated with special solutions so they can be better cleaned. The fringe is also pre-treated at this time to maximize the effectiveness of the cleaning process.

A shampoo designed for rugs is used to wash your rugs.  This Rug Shampoo is formulated to protect your rug’s natural fibers while cleaning it.

Depending on the nature of your rug, it may be washed and rinsed with an extraction equipment; or it may be washed and rinsed in a wash pit made for this exact purpose.

After your rug has been pre-conditioned, pre-treated, shampoo’ed, washed, and rinsed, it is dried. To minimize shrinking, it is important to dry the rug promptly. The rug is either hung up to dry, or it is laid down to dry. Drying occurs in a controlled environment.

Last but not least, the dried rug is combed and finished with soft groomers which are especially made for this purpose.

Our rug cleaning specialist will inspect your rug thoroughly before it is released for return delivery.
