Rug Cleaning at Our Woodbridge Workshop

To make it more convenient, we also offer free pickup and delivery. Our rug cleaning specialists will take away dirty and stained rugs and return them completely clean and odor free. We remove dry soil, wash the rugs, rinse them, extract the extra water and hang them to dry in our temperature-controlled drying area at our Woodbridge facility.
Our Off-Site Rug Cleaning Process
Our professional rug cleaning process involves several essential steps to ensure a thorough and effective cleaning. Although specific procedures may vary among different professional cleaners, here is a general outline of the typical process:
Inspection: A careful examination of the rug is conducted to assess its condition, identify stains, heavy soiling, or any damage. This evaluation helps determine the most suitable cleaning approach and any necessary pre-treatment.
Dusting: A meticulous dusting process is carried out to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris deeply embedded within the rug's fibers. Specialized equipment, such as rotating machines, is often used to gently dislodge these particles.
Pre-Treatment: In the presence of stains or heavily soiled areas, a targeted pre-treatment procedure is employed. This involves applying specialized cleaning agents or stain removers to break down stains and loosen dirt, facilitating their removal during the cleaning process.
Cleaning Method Selection: The professional cleaner carefully selects the appropriate cleaning method based on factors such as the rug's material, construction, and level of soiling. Common methods include steam cleaning, foam cleaning, or hand washing.
Cleaning: The chosen cleaning method is applied to the rug. In deep steam cleaning, a combination of hot water and detergent is sprayed onto the rug under high pressure, followed by powerful vacuum extraction to remove the solution, along with dirt and residues. Foam cleaning methods utilize cleaning solvents, which are later removed through vacuuming, bonnet cleaning, or brushing.
Spot Treatment: Any remaining stains or spots that persist after the initial cleaning undergo targeted spot treatment. Specialized stain removers or cleaning solutions are used to treat these specific areas.
Rinse and Extraction: In certain situations, a rinsing process is conducted to eliminate cleaning agents or residues from the rug. A gentle water rinse is typically employed, followed by thorough extraction to minimize moisture as much as possible.
Drying: The rug is carefully dried to maintain its shape and prevent the growth of mold or mildew. Techniques such as air movers, dehumidifiers, or controlled drying rooms may be employed. Adequate ventilation is essential to facilitate the drying process.
Finishing Touches: Once the rug is completely dry, a final inspection is conducted to ensure it meets the desired quality standards. Grooming or brushing may be performed as needed to restore the rug's appearance and texture.
