Area Rugs
We understand that your delicate fabrics are an expensive investment that, unlike regular carpets and upholstery, can last a lifetime with proper care and attention.
Let Anderson’s clean your area rugs using our Eleven Step
Cleaning Process
Pre-Inspection and Pick Up: Anderson’s will come to your home
to pick up your rug. We will determine its fiber content, identify
the rug to determine any cleaning considerations and inspect for
pre-existing conditions. Then, we will check for colorfastness and
choose the best cleaning method for your area rug.
Dry Soil Removal: This is the most important step in cleaning
any textile. By using vacuum & a machine, it shakes loose dust and
particulates that lye deep in the rug.
Pre-Condition: Depending on fiber content and soiling type,
the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify the soils. At this time, a
urine bath treatment may be needed if rug has any pet issues.
Pre-Spot and Fringe Preparation: Any potentially spots, odors
will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of
removal. The fringe is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal.
Cleaning Process: Most rugs are cleaned with a wet clean
process in a rug pit or by a dry clean process that is especially
designed to get maximum cleaning while protecting sensitive natural
fibers.
Rinse or Wash: Depending on the type of rug it will be rinsed
with extraction equipment on both sides or rinsed in a wash pit
designed especially for area rug cleaning.
Ph Neutralizer/Groom: This conditioner is applied as a light
mist. The rug is groomed post-cleaning using a special nap brush to
set the pile in one direction which aids in drying and gives the rug
a better visual look once dry. We hand comb the fringes which
enhances the beauty of the rug.
Apply Protection: We apply protector on all our area rugs we
clean. This will protect your valuable rug from general dirt and
grime as well as water-based or oil-based stains. After the
protector is applied, liquids will bead up on the surface rather
than soak in so they can be easily blotted up and dirt particles
will not cling to the rug’s fibers.
Speed Dry: Once the soil is rinsed away, the rug is dried
flat or hung to dry in a controlled environment with air movement.
Proper drying is essential to avoid unnatural shrinkage.
Rolled/Wrapped: Your rug will be wrapped in brown craft paper
to protect it from dust and environmental soils until it is picked
up or delivered.
Post Inspection and Delivery: We will give the rug a final
inspection and release it for delivery. Upon delivery, we will lay
the rug for you.
