Services
Oriental Rug Cleaning
Our specialized Oriental rug cleaning process combines traditional hand-washing techniques with modern equipment to safely remove deep-seated dirt while preserving delicate fibers. Each rug undergoes a comprehensive inspection and dye stability testing before treatment. Our technicians use pH-balanced solutions tailored to specific fiber types, ensuring thorough cleaning without color bleeding or damage.
Stain Removal
We address stubborn stains through targeted spot treatment using enzymatic cleaners and specialized solvents. Our pre-treatment process identifies stain composition to select appropriate removal methods. For urine contamination, we employ multi-stage neutralization techniques to eliminate both visible stains and odor-causing bacteria from rug fibers.
Deodorizing
Our deodorizing service eliminates embedded odors through a combination of enzymatic treatments and ozone-free air purification. We target odor sources at the microbial level rather than masking smells with fragrances. The process includes post-treatment air quality testing to ensure complete odor removal from both rug fibers and underlying padding.
Rug Inspection
Every rug receives a detailed condition assessment covering surface wear, fringe integrity, and foundation stability. We document existing damage and identify potential issues like moth infestation or foundation weakening. This evaluation determines appropriate cleaning methods and provides customers with a maintenance roadmap for preserving their rug's value.
Rug Drying
We utilize climate-controlled drying rooms with custom-designed tables that allow airflow from both top and bottom surfaces. This flat-drying method prevents warping and maintains dimensional stability. The process includes periodic pile resetting to ensure even fiber orientation and optimal texture restoration during the 24-48 hour drying cycle.
