When caring for your fine oriental rugs, it is important to find a company who has been properly trained in dealing with fine fabrics. It is always recommended for fine area rugs to be washed in our plant and not on location. At SPOT OUT, our 7 step in plant cleaning process will gently but thoroughly clean your area rug. We will restore your rug back to that clean, fresh like new feeling. From inexpensive throw rugs to fine rugs that are family heirlooms, you can trust SPOT OUT with all your area rugs.    

    To make sure that your rugs are taken care of properly, SPOT OUT uses a number of cleaning methods that are specifically designed for the type and style of rug you own. Whether it’s a low moisture cleaning or full submersion bath cleaning, all of our unique systems utilize the newest technology and equipment to provide the most thorough and effective cleaning possible.

Here's what we'll do:

Pre-Inspection and Pick Up: We will determine as much as we possibly can about the type of rug and inherent qualities that may affect cleaning. We will outline the expected results and cleaning “prescription”. Our company will come to your home to pick up your rug.

Dry Soil Removal: Woven rugs, especially hand knotted rugs are designed to hide dry soil. (A few years ago, the Eureka Company did a study and found that a 9 x 12 rug could hide 87 pounds of dirt!) WOW! We use a variety of techniques to “dust” the rugs from the front and back. A machine called a pile lifter, special vacuum attachments and any many other methods are implemented. This is the most important step in cleaning any textile.

Pre-Condition: Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify the soils.

Pre-Spot and Fringe Preparation: Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringe is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal.

Shampoo: Most rugs are cleaned with an Oriental Rug Shampoo that is especially designed to get maximum cleaning while protecting sensitive natural fibers.

Rinse and/or Wash: Depending on the type of rug it will be rinsed with extraction equipment on both sides or washed in a wash pit designed especially for Oriental Rugs.

Speed Dry: Once the soil is rinsed away, the rug is dried flat or hung to dry in a controlled environment. Proper drying is essential to avoid unnatural shrinkage.

Finishing: When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft groomers made for area rugs.
Post Inspection and  Delivery: Our cleaning specialist will give the rug a final inspection and release it for delivery.
