Immersion Washing for Rugs in Bellingham and Stanwood, WA

Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning has specialized in Cold-water immersion of fine wool and silk area rugs for nearly three decades. A proven method restoring beauty and value to rugs from around world. A hands on, boots-on method where rugs are laid flat in about three inches of cold water and gently agitated with hand-held rollers that gently roll over the surface of the rug creating a wave movement. This gentle action releases and suspends the dirt and grime from the rug’s fibers, foundation, fringe into the once fresh water. The wash vat is emptied and re-filled with freshwater for a complete rinsing. Water is then extracted; the rug is then hung on a drying rack in our temperature-controlled drying room. Rugs are dry in 24 hours. We service customers from Blaine to Stanwood and from Bellingham to Mount Vernon. Please visit our rug cleaning process page for detailed information.

Cold-water immersion rug cleaning has been used in the Middle East for hundreds of years and is still used today. This method is available for our customers in Bellingham, Oak Harbor, Anacortes.
