Rug Cleaning
Rugs are manufactured using a wide range of fibres, from silk and wool to synthetic materials. They may be specially hand-woven or mass-produced. Over time, rugs can become soiled and stained by various substances — from food spills and pet hair to dirt brought in from outside.
To achieve a truly deep and hygienic clean, our fully trained and insured rug cleaning specialists carefully inspect, analyse, and treat each rug using the most appropriate cleaning methods, ensuring consistent and high-quality results every time.
Without regular professional cleaning, rugs can quickly suffer from permanent staining, unsightly traffic lanes, and irreversible discolouration.
With our professional rug cleaning service, your rugs will not only regain the fresh scent, soft texture, and clean appearance you would expect, but will also benefit from a deep-cleaning process designed to:
- Extend the lifespan of your rugs
- Keep rugs cleaner for longer
- Help filter harmful airborne pollutants
- Remove allergy-triggering proteins
Our Step by Step Hot Water Extraction Cleaning System
Hot water extraction is commonly known as steam cleaning which is a method whereby a formulated cleaning solution is injected deep within the carpet fibres and then extracted removing deep down dirt.
STEP 1: High-Powered Pre-Vacuuming, Including Edges and Crevices
5 times more powerful than a standard home vacuum cleaner!
Our cleaning experts use a high-powered, professional vacuum cleaner to remove years of built-up dust, grime, and dirt trapped in hard-to-reach areas such as tight crevices and carpet edges.
Using specialised edge and crevice tools, we reach areas that standard household vacuum cleaners simply cannot access.
STEP 2: Pre-Inspection
Our expert will inspect your rug for fibre type, construction, dye techniques, backing, and padding, as well as areas of heavy soiling, staining, and excessive wear.
STEP 3: Pre-Spray
Our expert will apply an advanced pre-spray cleaning solution with high cleaning power and a mild pH.
The solution is allowed to penetrate deep into the rug fibres, loosening grease and oils so they can be effectively extracted during the cleaning process.
STEP 4: Spot & Stain Treatment
Our expert will inspect your rug for any remaining spots or stains. Any identified areas will receive additional treatment using specialised spot-cleaning solutions.
STEP 5: Agitation
Our expert gently works the advanced pre-spray cleaning solution into the rug fibres, helping to release as much embedded dirt as possible for effective removal.
During this process, any remaining soil and dust are transferred into the cleaning solution. Depending on the level of soiling, we use either a specially designed agitation machine or a carpet brush.
STEP 6: Rinsing & Extraction
Our expert will rinse your rug using a powerful hot water extraction machine.
This process involves injecting an effective cleaning and deodorising solution deep into the rug fibres at high pressure, dislodging any remaining soil while neutralising germs.
Our high-powered twin vacuum motors then extract the dirty solution into a waste tank, leaving your rug as dry as possible.
STEP 7: Post-Cleaning Inspection
Our expert will carry out a final walk-through to inspect the cleaning results. If you are available, they will review the results with you to ensure you are completely satisfied with the service
STEP 8: Grooming
Our expert will use a specialised carpet rake to realign the rug fibres through a process known as pile alignment. This not only enhances the overall appearance of your rug but also helps to reduce drying time.
