Our process today is the modem version of the way these natural fiber wool rugs were cleaned through the ages. First we do a dusting. Years ago, beating a rug with a carpet beater was the way to remove the dust. Unfortunately, that often broke the fibers, particularly in very old valuable rugs. Today, we use soft compressed air and modern tools to lift the many pounds of dust and dry particles to the surface and out of the rug. We do this on the front surface. We dust the back then the front removing all the dry particles.

We then test the rugs for color bleeding. If the rug is determined to be a bleeder, a color block is applied to lock in the color.

In step three, the rug is submerged in the fresh water wash pool. Here we actually hand wash the
rug with all natural cleaners while fresh water is continually rising the rug.

The next step is optional. To thoroughly remove the most difficult odors, we can do a decontamination bath. During this safe bath, heavy rollers go back and forth over the surface of the rug, forcing the fibers to release the deeply imbedded odor and then drink in fresh water. (There is an extra charge for this process. Please ask when calling for an estimate.)

Rinsing is very important. We thoroughly rinse the rug to remove the entire residue out of the rug making your rug look and feel clean!

After a final rinse the rugs are hung in the air to dry. The triple level of fans and climate control assure this is a quick and thorough drying process. Next, we work on cleaning the fringe, restoring it to its original color and luster. The last step, when the rugs are dry, is the grooming of the rug pile and fringe.

Finally, each rug is individually wrapped and ready for delivery. We will help you place the rug in your home too.
