Restoration Rug Cleaning Process

True restoration rug cleaning requires a more complete process and a few really important pieces that many skip. In our view, the first step for deep rug cleaning is a thorough vacuuming with a high powered, commercial vacuum, equipped with a beater bar. Some estimates put the quantity of dry soil in the rug as high as 74-79%. We want to remove that instead of adding water and turning it to mud. After we vacuum, we move on to the hot water extraction process.

The Hot Water Extraction Deep Soil Removal Process

Here are the four major components of a restoration rug cleaning, hot water extraction process that most companies only partially complete and we involve all of these important pieces to do the job right. Chemical, Agitation, Temperature and Time.

Our Deep Rug Cleaning Process

• Pre-vacuum with a commercial vacuum equipped with a properly adjusted beater bar

• Pre-spray all areas with a high pH solution

• Apply spot/stain pre-treatments to anything that looks like it needs it

• Agitate pre-sprayed areas with a counter rotating brush machine

• Allow adequate dwell time for solutions to work

• Perform hot water extraction with hot water of the appropriate temperature for the rug type

• Re-address and spots or stains that did not come out during the hot water extraction phase

• Place plastic or Styrofoam tabs underneath legs of furniture (steel, urethane coated wood, etc.) that pose a risk for bleeding into the rug

• Allow to dry

• Apply rug protectant (Proect Nano) or additional deodoriser as desired by customer

• Groom rug to remove any impressions and align fibres
