Our Rug Cleaning Process in Blaine

Collage of rug cleaning process

Our rug cleaning process begins with an initial inspection and pickup where our staff check the rugs warp/weft foundation stability, stains and other areas that need special attention. We tag your rug for identification and transport your area rug to our cold-water immersion wash plant located in Bellingham.

Once on-site, the owner of Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning will perform a follow-up inspection with a trained eye for identifying any hidden issues. Based on the rug type our cleaning and washing process begins. After dusting the rug for loose dirt, we clean, wash, and rinse the rug to eliminate odors and stains.

We thoroughly dry the rug to prevent any moisture issues. The combing, brushing, and fringe grooming are done to revive its texture and overall look. Finally, we vacuum the rug post tumbling. We inspect the rug again to ensure the quality of the finished piece. When needed, we can also apply special wool-fiber protectors or moth prevention products to ensure a safe rug before returning it to your home.

Benefit of Vacuuming & Final inspection

Neat and cleaned rug

Rug Quality is Ensured: Vacuuming a rug alone would be useless without first Tumble Dusting the rug. Our Tumble Duster removes and loosens any debris that may have been lodged deep into the rug’s foundation post cold-water immersion, and the vacuum assists us in the final rug cleaning step by removing surface debris such as lint.

Vacuuming Silk Rugs? It takes a trained eye to recognize a silk rug, let alone determine whether it should be vacuumed or not. Silk can be very sensitive to fiber distortion. A short-piled fine silk rug should never be vacuumed, pre or post cleaning. These rugs must be hand-combed post-cleaning and dusted from the back side only. Never use a vacuum with a beater bar on a fine short-piled silk rug.

Cost-Saving Solution: Vacuuming, post tumble dusting and final inspection are part of our rug cleaning process. Washing and cleaning rugs is all we do six days a week, our crew of professionals restore beauty and value to fine rugs from around the world. Dust, dirt and grime act as sandpaper when lodged deep in a rug’s foundation, Our tumble duster assisted by a good vacuuming will minimize future repairs and prolong your rugs life.

Importance of the Final Rug Inspection by Our Expert Technicians

After the post-wash, drying, post tumbling and surface vacuuming, the owner, Bryan Thomas, does a final inspection of the rug to ensure an effective & thorough cleaning was completed. We will inspect all areas of concern, including rug stains, odor issues, rug fiber, rug texture and rug fringe. Once we make sure your rug is completed, we will schedule a delivery to your home or notify you for pickup at our wash-plant. Check out our service area in Northwest Washington.
