How To Prepare For Your Area Rug Cleaning
Step 1: Remove clutter
Our Chem-Dry area rug cleaners will vacuum before the main cleaning process, but larger clutter like shoes, toys, and the like can get in the way. Not only that, these items can be a tripping hazard. By removing these items from the area rug, you can help ensure that your rug is cleaned thoroughly and efficiently.
Step 2: Remove light furniture
Many people place their area rugs underneath coffee tables and other small pieces of furniture. While these focus pieces of furniture can do wonders to tie a room’s decor together, it can get in the way of cleaning. Our technicians are experts at oriental rug cleaning, but they are not licensed movers. Set furniture pieces—such as coffee tables, plant stands, and floor lamps—to the side in a nearby room, then move them back after the cleaning, once the rug is dry.
Step 3: Note stains and other focus areas
Sometimes, once you’ve noticed a stain or a flaw on your area rug, that can become all you see whenever you look at the rug. We certainly want to make sure that you are completely satisfied once we have completed your area rug cleaning, so if there are any particular areas where you want extra care, take a note of them and share that with the cleaner.
Step 4: Make preparations for your pets
A new person in your house, particularly one bringing new equipment and new smells with them, can potentially agitate your pets, so make sure that you have prepared for this. It might be wise to have your pet stay with a friend or relative, or even closed into another room or the backyard.
Step 5: Clear a path
It can be easy to forget that a technician needs to get himself and his equipment from his vehicle to your front door and from your front door to the rug. Make sure that there is a pathway he can take in order to clean your oriental rug efficiently. Some technicians use equipment that is attached to the van, so it may be a good idea to move cars out of the way so that his van is as close to the entrance as possible.
Our Area Rug and Carpet Cleaning Process
Common Questions About Area Rug Cleaning in Chesapeake Bay
How do you ensure my area rug is cleaned thoroughly without being damaged?
At Southside Chem-Dry, our technicians are trained to evaluate the specific construction and fibers of each rug before we begin. We use a low-moisture Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process that attacks dirt particles at the microscopic level. This allow us to lift grime and grit from deep within the rug’s backing without the harsh scrubbing or excessive water that can damage delicate fibers or cause colors to bleed.
Can you remove pet urine odors* from my area rugs?
Yes. For rugs affected by pet accidents, we offer our specialized P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment). This process is specifically designed to removes pet urine odors* from carpets and rugs* at the source rather than just masking them. Because rugs are often valuable investments, we use this specialized method to refresh the rug and ensure the odor*-causing crystals are addressed without using harsh chemicals.
Will my area rug take a long time to dry in our humid coastal climate?
No. Because our process uses significantly less water than traditional steam cleaning, your rugs will typically be dry in just a few hours. This rapid drying time is particularly beneficial for our customers in the Chesapeake Bay area, as it helps reduce the risk of mildew growth after cleaning and prevents “wicking,” where stains reappear as the rug dries.
