How we clean rugs
We always action a survey for fibre identification, general condition, stains, and odours.
Once we have completed this stage we can proceed.
To alleviate all the loose debris we will
1/ Hoover the face side.
2/ Hoover the bottom side
Both allow loose particles to be released.
You would be amazed how much dust and hair we can remove for you.
Stains
Stains come in all shapes and sizes and can be an eyesore especially if your rug is a centre piece of a room.
In the event you have a spillage it is best to act quickly. Blot what you can. Always work from the outside to the centre. Never rub, just blot and apply pressure. I realise the temptation is there but should you rub, you can spread the stain, and also damage the fibres.
Don’t use shop stain removers as these contain bleach and can cause permeant damage.
Cleaning of your rug
Most are cleaned using the steam extraction method.
For this system this is what we would do.
Once preparation is completed we will apply a solution. The ph depends on the fibre. For instance wool would be neutral. Man made can have higher ph solutions applied.
Using a crb machine ( counter rotating brushes) we massage the chemical into the rug. This breaks down grease, any other marks viewable, and some odours.
Steam extraction is done at a low psi , normally around 150, but can be increased should the need arise.
Multiple cleaning passes are made to ensure a thorough, and sanitised clean.
Should odours be an issue from pet or urine we would use additional chemicals accordingly.
