If you’ve invested in area rugs for your home or business, you already know that you want to keep them looking their best! At Salisbury Rug & Carpet, we are committed to offering our residential and commercial customers the best services when it comes to area rug cleaning. We use a very specific process to treat and clean area rugs that ensure the life of the carpeting and the beauty of the rug over time.
Our Area Rug Cleaning Process
Step 1 – Pre-inspection: Pre-inspection is done both in the home with our client and again at our facility to ensure all spot, stains and/or odors are addressed.
Step 2 – Pre-vacuum: We pre-vacuum all area rugs before introducing any moisture in the form of pre-treatment, pre-spray, or extraction & rinse.
Step 3 – Dye-stability test: Each rug is dye tested to ensure the stability of dyes.
Step 4 – Dye stability pre-treatment: When applicable, a chemical is added to prevent bleeding during the pre-treatment, pre-spray, extraction, and rinse process.
Step 5 – Spot, stain, odor pre-treat: Each spot and stain is pre-treated with enzymes that begin to break down spots, stains, and/or odors in preparation for Step 9, steam cleaning & rinse.
Step 6 – Pre-treat dwell time: We allow the pre-treatment to dwell for a period of 5-15 minutes, depending upon the severity.
Step 7 – Standard pre-spray: When then add our standard fine fabric pre-spray that helps emulsify dirt and soil in further preparation for Step 9, steam cleaning & rinse.
Step 8 – Pre-spray dwell time: We also allow the pre-spray to dwell for a period of 5-15 minutes, depending upon the severity.
Step 9 – Steam cleaning & rinse: We introduce the hottest water available through our direct-drive carpet cleaning machine along with our rinse to neutralize pre-treatments, pre-sprays, and, finally, extracting loose soil.
Step 10 – Hang to speed dry: Quick drying times are key to long lasting results. We hang your area rug to speed dry using high velocity air movers.
Step 11 – Post cleaning inspection: After drying, while hanging, we do a further inspection to ensure all spots, stains, and odors were addressed.
Step 12 – Post-cleaning deodorizer: When applicable, we add a post-cleaning deodorizer to further freshen the fibers.
Step 13 – Tie and wrap in plastic wrap: After our approval, we roll the rug as tight as possible, tie, and wrap each rug in plastic.
Step 14 – Deliver and place area rug(s) as needed: On your scheduled delivery day, we deliver and place each rug back to the area(s) or your choice.
