Area Rug Inspection – Our technician will inspect both the front and back of your rug, take photos, and document any need for repair or special treatment. The inspection will include a conversation with you about your rug, where it came from, the amount of use it gets in your home, and any questions or concerns that you may have about the care of the rug.
Dry soil removal – We will remove dust from the rug using a Rugbadger™. This device allows all loose soil to be safely removed from the rug before bathing.
Color testing – Every rug is tested prior to bathing for potential color bleeding. If the rug is colored with vegetable or berry dyes, it may be more prone to bleeding and will need additional products applied prior to the washing process in order to ensure that colors stay put.
Rug Fringe cleaning – When rugs are vacuumed at home, fringe is avoided in order to prevent damage to the rug and vacuum. The professionals meticulously inspect and hand wash the fringe on your rug to ensure there is no damage to the fringe.
Shampoo – Many area rug cleaning companies use large, car wash-style machines to wash your rug. We use handheld cleaning devices to ensure optimum results. The Cimex Rotary shampoo machine is used to thoroughly agitate and emulsify the soil to the surface for extraction. This is done on the front and back of the rug.
Rinsing – After the rug is shampooed, it is rinsed thoroughly to remove all residual dirt, grime, and shampoo.
Rug Grooming – Once the rug is rinsed, it moves on to the hand grooming process and we set the nap and align the fringe by hand.
Drying – To ensure that the rug maintains its original shape and size, it is draped over specially designed drying poles. The fringe is realigned by hand again during the drying process.
Post-inspection – After the rug is dry, it is inspected by two technicians to ensure there is no spotting or misaligned fringe.
Vacuum rug – The rug is then vacuumed to remove any dust that may have surfaced during the cleaning and any marks from the grooming process.
Roll or fold – Once the cleaning process is complete, the rug is either rolled or folded, wrapped, and tied for delivery or pickup.

Pet Spots and Stains Removal | Pet Odor Removal & Pet Urine Removal
One of the most common rug care concerns is pet odor removal. Rugs with odor due to pet urine need to go through an alternative cleaning process to permanently and completely remove the bacteria that cause the smell. When pet urine dries in area rugs, it turns into alkaline salts. The alternative rug bathing process to combat pet odor breaks down these alkaline salts and removes the odor. We soak the rug to break down the urine salts that cause the odor. We then immerse the rug to remove all the contaminants. We Guarantee the removal of urine odor on most rugs (Please note we cannot guarantee odor removal on rugs that have odors in their construction glue. Examples include broadlooms with primary and secondary backings holding the yarn pile with glue between the backings and widely sold hand-tufted rugs from India and China) Call us at 1(888) 491-9180 Rug cleaning services San Francisco Bay Area Cities.
