Shag Deep Cleaning

Many of our customers own shag rugs; they are a great addition to a home, offering a soft, high pile that feels great underneath the feet. Problem is most shags come in an ivory color, which over time shows up when foot traffic brings dirt or when things are spilled on it. A customer recently brought one of her shag rugs in for our deep cleaning as it had foot traffic as well as other stains. Take a look below:

This shag needed our deep cleaning process, which we started right away. First we dusted the shag to get all the dirt and debris out, then it was hand washed with special cleansers that would help penetrate the dirt layer and get it looking new again. Then it was naturally dried  and then brushed to get the pile fluffy once again. Check out the results below:

This shag now looks brand new and it ready for more use in our customers home. They are repeat customers of ours, having seen what our cleanings have previously done to this shag as well as other rugs in their house. If you have a shag that needs a thorough deep cleaning, bring it into our showroom so we can help you get the best cleaning a shag can have!

Handknotted Silk Rug Cleaning

Sometimes rug owners take cleaning duties into their own hands, with varied results. A new customer of ours recently got a stain on their Handknotted Silk Rug and tried to clean the are himself. Not only did the stain not come out but the washed area started creating a color variation that worried him the instant he saw it. He was so upset at possibly having damaged this expensive piece of art. From one end of the rug it looked like a dark blotch on a light rug and from the other end looked like a bleached out part on a darker rug. We calmed him down and let him know that we would put the rug through our deep cleaning process so as to restore the rugs colors. Take a look at the before pics below:

We thoroughly dusted the rug to remove any loose debris before it was completely wet washed. We use special cleansers depending on the type of rug we are washing, and silk rugs require special attention as well as cleansers that won't damage the fibers of such a nice rug. After the rug bath we naturally dried the rug flat under the sun. The results speak for themselves; take a look below:

The rug is beautiful once again and put some welcome relief on to our customers face after he saw how well our deep cleaning process works.
