Have Your Rugs Professionally Cleaned With proper care, handmade Oriental rugs can last for generations. Because of their complexity and value, rugs should be cleaned and restored by trained professionals with knowledge, expertise, and proper cleaning and drying facilities. What does my vacuum leave behind? The average vacuum can only remove so much, leaving dirt and sand deep within the rug fibers. Over time these particles can begin to break down the foundation of a rug. Dirt, dust, and allergens can lead to health problems. Having your rugs regularly cleaned will help you maintain a clean home and living environment. WE CAN HELP! With proven techniques and skills, we can restore your valuable rug to a cleaner and more healthy state!

OUR RUG CLEANING PROCESS Larson Rug Cleaning utilizes a washing method that outperforms all others in preserving a rug’s integrity. This in-plant system uses tools and equipment specifically designed for cleaning Oriental and specialty rugs. The eight-step process is extremely thorough, yet gentle. Our method has proven effective on a wide range of fine rugs – from the most fragile antiques to sturdier, power-loomed modern rugs.

STEP 1: Air Dusting- The preliminary step of the process is air dusting. We use a diesel driven air compressor and tools specially designed to lift and remove dirt, sand, and dry particles trapped deep inside the fibers and foundation of the rug.

STEP 2: Industrial Vacuuming- Using the most powerful industrial vacuums, we remove the remaining dirt and sand on the surface of the rug.

STEP 3: Rotary Scrubbing- Because dirt particles actually form an electrostatic bond with rug fibers, specially-formulated liquid detergent is applied using a rotary-style scrubbing machine to break down the bond and restore the pile.

STEP 4: Hand Scrubbing- Hand-scrubbing is used to remove stubborn stains from the fringes and various parts of the rug. We use only non-alkaline shampoo and other natural safe cleaning products that protect your health and our environment.

STEP 5: High-Pressure Rinse- High-pressure water extraction is used to remove dirt and soils left behind during the cleaning process.

STEP 6: Moth Proofing- An even coat of mothproofing is applied to the front and back. This will help protect the rug from moth damage for up to two years.

STEP 7: Controlled Drying Achieving a fast and efficient drying method is critical, as rugs can mold and mildew if saturated for long periods of time. In our controlled, heated Dry Room, we use a combination of dehumidifying, air circulation, and heat. Here, rugs are allowed to dry for 12-24 hours.

STEP 8: Fringe Restoration- The last step is to clean and restore all fringes using specially designed tools. Finally, all rugs are brushed and inspected for any remaining stains.
