At Rug Clean we specialize in area rugs only, we have free pick up and delivery and can quickly estimate the cost to clean your rugs. A professional hand rug wash is an art of its own. The color, texture, wool blend and age is information that is required before deciding on the most appropriate method of cleaning any item. Every style of rug and carpet has its own washing and caring technique. The color of antique rugs will not fade if the rug wash is done correctly, and must be carried out in such a way so not to affect its color or damage the wool. It is essential that a rug cleaner know whether or not a rug's color will fade during the cleaning. This knowledge is critical to the cleaning process. We have many decades of experience and take special care to ensure that the colors will not fade or run into each other. Our process first rugs have to be vacuumed from dirt and dust with a specially prepared machine without damaging the wool. The life of rugs depend on the amount of water and detergent used during the hand washing process and the climatic conditions of where the carpet will be stored. Incorrect hand washing techniques will weaken the wool strands and in time they become fragile and fall apart, so once a rug is washed the excess water has to be quickly taken out, so that the color will not run. The rug will then have to be taken to a moderately warm room, without direct sunlight, and dried with the assistance of a fan, forced ventilation and if necessary dehumidifiers.
