The Rug Cleaning Process

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY

If you are the owner, or have owned rugs for long enough to have had them cleaned once or twice, you no doubt have heard that for centuries rug weavers have cleaned rugs by beating them with sticks or throwing them in rivers then drying them on the rocks beside the river.  Looking at this information it is believed that rugs can withstand this kind of treatment, or they prefer it!

Times have Changed, taking into account that the techniques used to manufacture rugs are different, unstable dyes, painted foundations, unusual colours, mass production and cheaper prices.  Looking at this rug cleaners have to possess far more knowledge to deal with rugs.  Technology has improved and antique rugs can now be cleaned far more gently using modern methods.

Your expensive Persian, Oriental and Modern rugs are now treated with the utmost care and respect they deserve in our state of the art Rug Cleaning Spa with imported equipment to give your rugs a sparkling clean and make them soft to the touch.
