#1 for Rug Cleaning in Milwaukie, OR

Step 1: Rug Material Identification

Rugs come in a wide variety of fiber types, lengths, and styles, and each has unique cleaning needs. Our technicians in Milwaukie begin their work by ensuring that they know what they’re working with.

Step 2: Cleaning Solution Application and Agitation

Cleaning agents are an essential part of the cleaning process. Once we’ve locked down the composition of your rug, we apply the appropriate cleaning solution and work it deep into the pile, where it can do the vital work of beginning to break down grime.

Step 3: Steam Cleaning or Washing

We use the appropriate temperature of water for your rug to activate the cleaning solution and extract broken-down dirt and oils. Synthetic rugs commonly made of polypropylene can take high heat, whereas natural fiber rug cleaning like wool take lower heat.

Step 4: Drying

Drying is a critical stage in the cleaning of any rug. A rug must dry evenly and completely, or discoloration or mold may result. We encourage you to dry your rug somewhere other than where it normally lies (i.e. the garage or a balcony railing) to ensure proper drying in your Milwaukie home.
