Rug Washing
Our Rug Washing Process
Our rug washing process combines traditional and modern techniques to ensure the best possible result in every instance. Each rug is washed by a human rather than an automated machine, allowing our technicians full discretion in how each rug is handled.
Initial Inspection
Completed before any works are undertaken by our team to accurately assess the pre-service condition of each rug.
Dusting
Rugs are placed into one of two machines to help remove loose dander, dust and pet hair. The availability of two dusting machines means that hand-knotted rugs undergo a gentler dusting process, reducing the risk of potentially damaging impact on delicate rug fibres and foundation.
Washing
Once laid out on our wash floor, fresh water, fibre appropriate cleaning solutions and (where required) spot treatments are worked into each rug by one of our technicians to help address allergens, odours and the appearance of dark traffic marks and soiling.
Rinsing
A thorough rinse is completed to ensure all residual cleaning solutions have been flushed from the rug.
Wringing
Rugs are placed individually into our specialised wringer, which serves to substantially reduce the water retained by each rug as a result of the rinsing process. This step is crucial in helping to expedite drying times.
Pile Setting
Where applicable, our team will brush your rug before it dries to help set the pile in the right direction.
Drying
Rugs are placed in our drying room which is equipped with large fans and dehumidifiers, providing an environment in which rugs dry quickly and evenly. At regular intervals, a moisture meter is used to take several readings across each rug, allowing us to determine when rugs are truly dry and ready for the final step in our standard cleaning process.
Finishing/Final Inspection
Our technicians complete a final inspection of each rug which includes vacuuming and/or brushing. Rugs are then rolled and secured with ribbon in readiness for return to your home or office.
