Phoenix Cleaning Solutions
Rug Cleaning Companies in Durham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 17, 2019
“Fast, friendly responses to my initial request turned into fast, friendly, knowledgeable service. Bynum even took a moment to show me the high end cleaning equipment in their van (I'm a nerd for all things mechanical) which I enjoyed. The spots that we had in our carpets for years are gone, the tile looks great, and everything dried by the evening or morning after. Pricing was also very fair for the quality of the company. One thing I really appreciated was the communication by text letting me know they were on the way, letting me know the job was complete and linking me to the job details and invoice. Slick setup! I'll be referring them to my friends and others for sure. Very glad to have found Phoenix Cleaning Solutions.”

Rugs are no different than carpet when it comes to the amount of dirt, dander and allergens that they attract and trap, which means you should also be cleaning rugs regularly to keep your Durham, NC home fresh. The plus side is that unlike carpeting, area rugs can be removed and sent out for thorough cleaning if desired. Rug cleaning can also include repair work as needed, like complete re-weaving or foundation patching. Make sure the local Durham, NC rug cleaner you choose has experience with the types of rugs you need serviced, especially if they are hand-woven or Oriental.

How does professional rug cleaning in Durham, NC work?


Each rug should be cleaned according to what type of fiber it’s made from, how the fibers are dyed and how it’s constructed or woven. When you use a Durham, NC area rug cleaning drop-off service, most places follow a process similar to the one outlined below:

  1. Remove dust - An initial round of removing loose dust and debris will help the rug cleaner solutions applied in later steps be more efficient.

  2. Test and Soak - The pro will test the fiber-specific rug cleaning solution in an inconspicuous spot to ensure it won’t cause damage or discoloration. Soaking helps with any tough stains.

  3. Wash - This step is typically done by hand on each side and involves using a special rug washing brush to work the solution evenly into the fibers.

  4. Flush - Loosened dirt and solution are flushed out via water, vacuum or steam cleaning.

  5. Rinse - A final rinse is done, often with a light pressure washer, to ensure the rug is free of any remaining debris and washing agents.

  6. Wring - As much remaining water and moisture as possible is wrung out by high-powered machines — don’t worry, this doesn’t harm the rug!

  7. Dry - They are then left to completely dry in a temperature-controlled setting.

  8. Protect - A protective coating can be added, if desired, to prolong the life of the piece.

  9. Inspect - Area rug cleaners will thoroughly inspect the washed and dried product to ensure no damage was done in the process and it looks as good as or better than when it arrived.

For in-home rug cleaning services in Durham, NC, most companies use the hot-water extraction method, commonly known as steam cleaning, like they do with carpeting. All you have to do is secure pets and put away anything valuable in the surrounding area and the professional rug cleaner near you will handle the rest.
