Professional Rug Drying in Bellingham & Mount Vernon

rug drying professionally

Without complete rug drying, rug cleaning can become incomplete nightmare. After a rug has been cleaned it must be dried within 24 hours. Anyone who has forgotten a load of laundry for a couple days understands, imagine a family heirloom rug cleaning taking days to dry? A rapid rug drying process is essential to avoid any mold growth or that musty wet smell. We get the musty rug smell calls often from folks who allowed carpet cleaning companies to surface clean rugs in home or attempted cleaning a rug themselves.

At Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning, a rug isn’t completely clean until it’s dry. We care about each rug, as if it was our own. Many homes have decorated around the colors rugs. Some older fine rugs are family heirloom treasures, and many rugs have special stories or memories of how our customers came upon them. Our staff of experts provide the highest quality rug cleaning and state of the art heat, dehumidification and air movement with our controlled drying process. For any questions with regards to cleaning or rug drying, call 360-762-3020 or contact us online to reach a Steam Sweepers rug cleaning expert.

Our Highly Effective Rug Drying Process in Stanwood & Arlington, WA

After cold water immersion rug cleaning, wash, and rinse steps the professional rug cleaning process isn’t complete until the last step, rug drying. At Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning, our drying process includes:

Step 1

Rug Preparation for Drying

After a rug has been washed and cleaned we prepare to hang dry in our controlled drying area by grooming the fibers to lay with the nap of the weave and then brush the fringe accordingly.

Step 2

Excess Water Removal

This is the first step of the drying process. All rugs are hand squeegeed front and back to immediately remove as moisture prior to hanging the rugs in our drying tower area. High-powered extraction is used on some heavy heavy piled rugs.

Step 3

Professional Drying

After removing excess water post immersion, your rug hangs safely within our drying towers. In a humidity-controlled drying room with proper airflow and temperature control your rug is dry within 24 hours. It is the most effective process for drying rugs in the industry, especially throughout the Northwest and other wet or cold climates.

Step 4

Final Inspection

After the rug is completely dry, we re-clean the fringe on the downside of the hang. Once the fringe is dried, the area rug is gently tumbled again, then viewed for a final quality control inspection before being returned to you. Our results are guaranteed!
