Air Dusting Video
Air dusting is just one of the methods that we can use to remove dry soil and excess dye that is embedded in the rug.
This video shows a rug that had been previously dusted using the harmonic vibration method. Air dusting removes virtually all pet hair left behind by normal vacuuming. The result is a much healthier and cleaner finished product.
Turkish Runner Washing

Watch Doug thoroughly wash a Turkish rug with his own blend of cleaning and stabilizing products that ensure color fastness. This runner was in the entryway of a busy condominium; rugs in high-traffic areas should be cleaned once a year to prevent damage.
Dirt and dry soils are extremely abrasive and every time you step down on a rug, you grind soil into its fibers. When carpets are left dirty for an extended period of time, the fibers become damaged making your rug look worn, dull or dingy. Regular cleanings prevent permanent damage to the fibers.

Rug cleaning is very different from standard carpet cleaning and requires several steps and the right equipment and solutions to do the best job.
Our facility is equipped to handle the rug cleaning process quickly and efficiently.
It’s best to have your rugs professionally cleaned every 1-2 years. Taking your rug to a cleaner that specializes in rugs will remove the deep-seated grime that your vacuum will not. In the long run, the cost is worth it–your rug will look newer much longer.
