Area Rug Cleaning
In-Plant Rug Cleaning is recommended for Oriental Rugs and loose
woven rugs. They should not be cleaned on location like wall to wall
carpet. Uniclean cares for the finest to the most basic rugs from
around the world. We will pick your rug up and bring it to our
special cleaning plant where it will receive our very thorough Nine
Step Cleaning System to get maximum soil and spot removal. Having
your rug cleaned in our plant allows us to give it several
treatments for a more thorough cleaning, controlled drying, and the
use of various tools that are not available on location.
| Step 1: Pre-Inspection and Pick Up |
| We will determine as much as we possibly can
about the type of rug and inherent qualities that may affect
cleaning. We will outline the expected results and cleaning
“prescription”. Our company will come to your home to
pick up your rug, or you may drop it by our shop. |

Step 2: Dry Soil Removal
Woven rugs, especially hand knotted rugs are designed to
hide dry soil. A few years ago, the Eureka company did a
study and found that a 9 x 12 could hide 87 pounds of dirt!
WOW! We use a variety of techniques to “dust” the rugs
from the front and back. A machine called a pile lifter,
special vacuum attachments and any many other methods are
implemented. This is the most important step in cleaning any
textile. |
|
Step 3: Pre-Condition
Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be
pre-treated to emulsify the soils. |
|
|
|
|
Step 4: Pre-Spot and Fringe
Preparation
Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with
special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringe
is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal. |
|
Step 5: Shampoo
Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be
pre-treated to emulsify the soils.
Most rugs are cleaned with an Oriental Rug Shampoo that is
especially designed to get maximum cleaning while protecting
sensitive natural fibers. |
|
|
| Step 6: Rinse or Wash |
| |
Depending on the type of rug it will be rinsed with
extraction equipment on both sides or washed in a wash pit
designed especially for Oriental Rugs. |
|
|
|
Step 7: Speed Dry
Once the soil is rinsed away, the rug is dried flat or hung
to dry in a controlled environment. Proper drying is
essential to avoid unnatural shrinkage. |
|
Step 8: Finishing
When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft
groomers made for specialty rugs. |
|
|
|
|
Step 9: Post Inspection and Delivery
Our cleaning specialist will give the rug a final inspection
and release it for pick up or delivery. Your rug will be
wrapped in brown craft paper to protect it from dust and
environmental soils until it is picked up or delivered. Upon
delivery, we will lay the rug for you. |
