Signs You Need to Clean Your Area Rugs

What happens when you don’t clean your area rugs regularly? You might start to notice the following issues:

  • Deep stains
  • Discoloration
  • Dirt or dust buildup
  • Matted fibres
  • Warped corners

 

If you have a lot of dirt, dust, or even mould accumulating in your rug, you may notice the air quality in your home has diminished, too. This can lead to worsened allergy or symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, or wheezing.

Our Area Rug Cleaning Process

At Clean By Steam, we use a revolutionary process to clean your area rugs efficiently and effectively. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when you partner with us:

Dust Removal

We start by eliminating all the dirt and dust that has built up in your rug’s fibres (trust us, there’s likely more lingering in your rugs than you think).To do this, we run it through a powerful dusting machine. Our machine beats out grit, dust, dander, and anything else that is embedded in the fibres and wreaking havoc on your home or business’s air quality.

Fibre Testing

Next, we test your rug’s fibres to determine their colour fastness. No one wants to pay to have their area rug professionally cleaned, only to end up with faded colours or blended designs, right?By checking your rug’s colour fastness first, we can take extra steps to preserve its unique colour and pattern. This includes adding special blockers to prevent colours from running or fading.

Spot and Stain Removal

The third step is removing spots and stains. We do this by hand using special, high-quality tools to ensure we don’t miss anything and to get your rug as clean as possible.Our team is detail-oriented and always goes the extra mile to eliminate even the most stubborn spots and stains. We always use eco-friendly cleaning materials, too.

Rug Bath

When we’re confident that all spots and stains have been treated, we’ll move on to the rug bath.The rug bath involves soaking your rug in a solution of soap and water. While it soaks, we’ll lightly scour the fibres to further clean it and pull out lingering dirt and grime.When the soak is complete, we run your rug through a special wringer located at the back of the machine. This eliminates excess water and speeds up the drying process.

Drying and Fringe Cleaning

Finally, we hang your rug up to dry.We dry all of our customers’ rugs in a well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room. This ensures efficient drying and prevents issues like mould growth.As your rug dries, one of our specialists will also hand-clean the fringes. The result is a rug that looks as good as new.

Factors That Affect the Cleaning Process

As you can see, we have a tried and true cleaning process that we use for all of our customers. However, we also understand that everyone’s needs (and area rugs) are unique.

When we clean an area rug in Toronto, there are several different factors that we take into account before getting to work, including the following:

  • Rug material (Is it made of wool? Jute? Synthetic fibres like rayon or nylon?) 
  • Rug type (Is it an Oriental rug? Hand-knotted?)
  • Rug colour and design (Does it have a unique, highly detailed pattern or vibrant colour that you want to maintain?)

It doesn’t matter if your rug is made of alkaline-sensitive materials (such as wool) or has a special design that you’re desperate to preserve. We will always go the extra mile to make sure it looks great and gets thoroughly cleaned.
