  • Visible dirt and wear: Visual soiling leads to fiber wear, because the dirt acts like sandpaper with each step on the rug. Regularly vacuuming and rotating your rug are important to maintain a rug’s integrity between rug cleaning cycles. Fine wool and silk rugs should be washed every two to five years, depending on the amount of foot traffic.
  • Unpleasant odors: If there is an unpleasant odor emanating from your rug or you have any previous history of experiencing a pet accident on your rug, a professional rug cleaning experts’ advice is needed. We guarantee odor removal on woven rugs.
  • Allergen issues: If you're experiencing allergen issues in your home or have respiratory disease, immersion rug washing may help?
