Our Rug Cleaning Process
We’re proud of our 8-step immersion cleaning process. It uses the same cold-water hand-washing techniques as museums… and a thousand years of tradition.

- Pre-inspection to determine the type of fiber, pile density, type of weave and overall condition. We also test color fastness.
- Dusting is actually the most important step, removing soil before it cakes during washing. We use a special vibrating dusting machine, followed by thorough vacuuming on both sides.
- Odor removal (not masking) as needed for pet, smoke, mildew and other odors that aren’t removed by normal cleaning. We use specialized, gentle products.
- Cleaning, adjusted for different fibers and constructions. Always by hand, always one at at time to avoid transfer, using pH balanced cleansers. We’ll also attend attend to stain and spot removal.
- Rinsing using soft water without chlorine. We “river rinse” with constantly flowing water until it’s absolutely clear with no residues to cause fading, discoloration, erosion, or premature re-soiling.
- Grooming involves brushing in the direction of the pile for a uniform texture and light reflection for maximum beauty. We also de-tangle and arrange fringe.
- Drying begins with rugs laid flat to avoid bleed and browning. Next they’re then hung in a thermostat-controlled drying room with gentle air circulation. We use a moisture detection probe to determine when the process is complete.
- Re-inspection to make sure it’s as clean as possible. If not we’ll repeat steps as needed .
