Whether you have a treasured family heirloom or a delicate silk rug from overseas, our process is designed to deliver deep cleaning results without risking dye bleeding, shrinkage, or fiber damage. We do not use machines. Every step is carried out manually with professional attention to detail.
Our Orlando Rug Cleaning Process
We follow a comprehensive multi-step process tailored to each rug’s fiber type, dye structure, and condition. The goal is to safely eliminate dirt, odor, and stains while preserving the integrity of every rug.
Vacuuming the Rug
The process begins with a detailed vacuuming session. Each rug is laid flat and carefully vacuumed to remove dust, debris, and surface-level particles. This step prepares the rug for deeper washing while preventing dirt from embedding further during the hand-cleaning phase. For documentation and transparency, we photograph this stage with the vacuum clearly visible on the rug.
Testing Colors for Bleeding
Before introducing water or shampoo, we test the rug’s colors to evaluate the potential for dye bleeding. Rugs made with natural dyes or older weaving techniques often have unstable colorfastness. This test ensures we can proceed with the safest cleaning method. If bleeding occurs, we shift to a dry-cleaning process; if not, we proceed with wet hand-washing.
Hand Washing the Rug (For Color-Safe Rugs)
For rugs that pass the bleeding test, we perform a full wet hand-wash using a specialized hand brush, soft water hose, and premium-grade rug shampoo. This allows us to apply direct, even pressure and monitor areas with stains or heavy soil buildup. Unlike machine washers, this technique gives us full control to avoid fiber distortion or color changes. Each rug is cleaned front and back to remove embedded contaminants.
Dry Cleaning the Rug (For Color-Bleeding Rugs)
If the rug’s dyes are unstable, we switch to a dry-cleaning method. This involves applying cleaning agents that lift dirt and oil without saturating the rug in water. Both sides of the rug are addressed, and the cleaning is done by hand to maintain control and prevent discoloration. The goal is to protect fragile dyes and delicate natural fibers while still providing a thorough clean.
Water Extraction
Once washing is complete, water is carefully extracted from the rug using traditional methods that help reduce drying time while preventing structural damage. This step is done manually to ensure that the rug retains its original shape and doesn’t suffer from uneven drying or mildew growth.
Air and Sun Drying
The rug is then placed outdoors to dry naturally using sunlight and fresh air. This slow, natural drying process typically takes two to three days, depending on Orlando’s weather conditions. We do not use artificial heaters or dryers, as these can warp fibers or accelerate aging. Sunlight also helps disinfect and refresh the rug naturally.
Fringe Cleaning
Once the rug is fully dry, we perform a detailed fringe cleaning. Sitting down to work by hand, we use a smaller brush, a blend of soap and shampoo, and clean water to scrub each strand of fringe. Yellowing, darkened spots, and bleeding residue are removed with precision. This final stage ensures your rug’s borders look clean and restored to their original tone.
Specialized Stain & Odor Removal
Beyond standard cleaning, we treat a wide variety of stains and odors based on rug type and staining material. Using safe and effective spot treatments, we address:
Common Stains We Remove
Dark Stains
Stubborn marks from dirt, oil, or unknown origins are carefully dissolved without affecting surrounding fibers.
Rust Stains
Caused by furniture, frames, or metal decor left on rugs, rust is treated using targeted formulas that neutralize oxidation.
Blood and Tar
Both biological and sticky industrial stains require careful pre-treatment and lifting techniques.
Pet Stains and Odors
Accidents from pets are among the most common challenges. We apply enzyme-based solutions to eliminate both the mark and the smell.Accidents from pets are among the most common challenges. We apply enzyme-based solutions to eliminate both the mark and the smell.
Odor Removal
In cases of mildew, pet accidents, or smoke exposure, we apply a controlled deodorizing process. This neutralizes the source of the smell rather than masking it with fragrance. The rug is rewashed and dried fully after odor removal.
