Rug Cleaning

Prior to commencing the cleaning process for your rug, we at Fantastic Carpet Cleaning Manhattan conduct a meticulous inspection. Each rug undergoes careful scrutiny, allowing us to design a cleaning process that not only delivers optimal results but also ensures the rug’s integrity is maintained throughout the cleaning. Rigorous testing is performed to guarantee that our cleaning solution won’t lead to dye bleeding or fading. This is particularly crucial for Persian or Oriental rugs, as their handmade plant-based dyes are susceptible to damage from overly potent cleaning solutions. In cases where pets have urinated on the rug, our pre-inspection identifies problem areas requiring specialized attention and treatment.

Fantastic Carpet Cleaning NYC believes in a cleaning process that begins and concludes with the use of gentle detergents and cutting-edge cleaning equipment. The initial step involves employing a mechanical rug beating machine to eliminate loose dirt, ensuring as much dirt as possible is removed before immersion in our cleaning pools.

Once submerged, the rug undergoes a process where dirt and stains are loosened from the fibers and subsequently eliminated through hand or machine brushing, depending on the rug’s composition. Handmade silk rugs, for instance, are delicately hand-brushed due to the sensitivity of silk fibers to water. Thicker wool or machine-made rugs are efficiently cleaned with a buffing machine, providing deep penetration into the pile. Shag rugs, in particular, witness remarkable results with this method.

Following a thorough rinsing, the rug emerges dust and allergen-free. In cases of urine presence, the rug undergoes multiple rinses until fully flushed. Subsequently, a specialized rug centrifuge is employed to remove water and expedite drying times. The final step involves hanging the rugs to dry in our custom-built, temperature, and humidity-controlled drying room. Post-drying, we conduct a rigorous inspection to ensure the rug meets our cleaning standards. If it falls short, we undertake a re-cleaning at no additional cost.
