Area rugs and oriental rugs require specialized cleaning methods that differ significantly from wall-to-wall carpet cleaning. Texas Restoration Group provides professional rug cleaning services for all types of area rugs, oriental rugs, and specialty rugs throughout Austin and Central Texas.
Area rugs accumulate dirt, allergens, pet dander, and odors that regular vacuuming cannot remove. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, area rugs can be picked up, transported to a cleaning facility, and thoroughly cleaned using methods that are not possible in-home. We offer convenient pickup and delivery service throughout the Austin area.
Oriental rug cleaning requires particular care and expertise. Hand-knotted wool rugs from Persia, Turkey, India, and China are valuable heirlooms that can be permanently damaged by improper cleaning. Synthetic dyes in some rugs can bleed if wetted incorrectly. Natural dyes in antique rugs require special handling. Wool fibers can shrink or felt if exposed to excessive heat or agitation.
Our rug cleaning process begins with a thorough inspection to identify the rug type, fiber content, construction method, and any areas of concern including color bleeding risk, damaged areas, and pre-existing stains. We test for dye stability before cleaning.
Dusting removes dry soil from rug fibers before wet cleaning. Professional rug dusting equipment removes significantly more dry soil than vacuuming, which is important because wet cleaning can cause dry soil to become embedded in fibers.
Hand washing uses gentle, pH-appropriate cleaning solutions applied by hand to clean rug fibers without damaging the foundation or causing dye bleeding. Rinse extraction removes all cleaning solution residue. Controlled drying in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment prevents shrinkage and mildew growth.
Fringe cleaning and repair addresses damaged or soiled fringe on oriental and traditional rugs. We clean fringe separately and can repair damaged fringe as needed.
