How Do We Clean Rugs?
After your booking is confirmed, we will dispatch a fully qualified fabric cleaning specialist to handle the cleaning process. Upon arrival, the technician will examine the rug’s fabric and, if necessary, perform a fiber identification test. They may also check the pH level of the fabric to determine the most suitable cleaning products. Additionally, the technician will assess the rug for any damage, scuffs, stains, and color fastness (also known as color bleeding).
Based on the condition and fiber type of your rug, the technician can choose from four cleaning methods:
Dry cleaning
Foam cleaning
Cold water extraction cleaning
Deep steam/water extraction cleaning
Dry Cleaning:
Dry cleaning is suitable for all types of rugs but is essential for specific silk variants, as well as sisal, seagrass, jute, coir, viscose, and plant fiber or pulp-based rugs.
Some rugs can only be cleaned using a dry cleaning compound or powder, as liquids can be absorbed by their fibers, causing permanent damage.
In such cases, our technician will inform you that the rug is dry-clean only and will point out any stains that may be difficult to remove due to fiber damage.
If there are no stains, or if you choose to proceed with cleaning despite the existing damage, the technician will apply a dry powder, which is then worked into the rug’s fibers. This powder effectively absorbs dirt, allergens, and bacteria from the fibers.
Following this, the technician will professionally vacuum the rug to remove the powder along with any dirt residue.
It’s important to note that dry cleaning is the traditional method for fabric cleaning. While it is not intended for stain removal, it serves as an effective hygienic cleaning process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which carpet cleaning method is more effective: hot water extraction or dry powder treatment?
Both hot water extraction (steam cleaning) and dry powder treatment are effective carpet cleaning techniques.
Hot water extraction is particularly efficient for deep cleaning, effectively removing dirt, stains, and allergens from deep within the carpet fibers.
In contrast, dry powder treatment is a quick and convenient option, ideal for regular maintenance and surface cleaning.
The choice between these two methods depends on factors such as the carpet’s condition, the type of stains present, and your specific cleaning needs.
We provide both methods and will recommend the most suitable option to achieve the best results.
Will your technicians move furniture before cleaning carpets?
Yes, our technicians will move heavy furniture before cleaning your carpets. However, we advise removing fragile items such as glassware and porcelain from the area to ensure their safety. Additionally, it would be helpful if you could clear out smaller pieces of furniture, like footstools and waste bins, prior to our technicians’ arrival. This allows us to clean your carpets more efficiently and achieve the best possible results.
How long will it take?
We can provide you with some estimates, but the time required may vary based on the level of dirt and stains present.
Three-bedroom house: Approximately 1.5 hours.
Hall, stairs, landing, and lounge: Around 1 hour.
Three-piece suite: About 1 hour.
We take pride in utilizing advanced technology, enabling us to work efficiently and deliver quick results.
Can I walk on the floors after carpet cleaning?
You can walk on your floors immediately after carpet cleaning, but please be careful as the carpets may still be a bit damp. It’s advisable to wear clean socks or slippers to avoid slipping or transferring moisture. The carpets usually dry completely within 2 to 4 hours, depending on factors such as humidity and airflow. Our team is available to provide specific guidance based on your carpets and the current conditions.
