Area Rug Cleaning Service

Area rugs are a beautiful addition to any house. They help contribute to a room's overall ambiance, character, and vibe, much like fine paintings and wall décor. However, they must be clean and in exquisite condition to complete the furnishing and look of any room you want to decorate. Unlike paintings and wall decorations, area rugs are on the ground, meaning they have to withstand a lot of foot traffic.

They are primarily placed in areas where high footfalls and traffic will liven up the space and give it a distinct look. However, that means you must also be prepared to protect and clean any rugs to give them a pristine and not worn-out look. The best part about area rugs is that apart from adding to the décor of any room, they also act as an air filtration system.

Area rugs can do a great job at trapping allergens, dirt, and dust particles in any room and help to prevent unhealthy particles from circulating in the room and around the house. However, they will only be able to do this job if kept clean and well-maintained. The air filtration system in your house needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly to keep performing its job.

Your upholstery, carpets, and area rugs also need to be cleaned regularly, and the professionals at Decker's Carpet Cleaning are up for that job. We focus on attention to detail and clean your area rugs with extreme care and precision, ensuring they are restored to their natural beauty. Our team employs cutting-edge techniques, tools, and processes for area rug cleaning to remove all non-living allergens, bacteria, and dirt from your oriental and area rugs.

These are pieces of art and are worth an incredible amount of investment, which is why we will never let you down.

In Plant Cleaning

We recommend In Plant cleaning for most area rugs as it is the most thorough cleaning option available for area rugs. While all area rugs will benefit from an In Plant cleaning, the ones that we highly recommend be cleaned using this method are: Wool Rugs, long pile rugs, and any rugs with pet damage. Silk rugs must be cleaned In Plant. The turnaround time for this process can be between 2-3 weeks.

A Step By Step Breakdown of our In Plant Area Rug Cleaning Process:

• Pre Inspection
• 2-step dry soil removal using a rug badger to remove excess dirt and soils going beyond what can be achieved from vacuuming the face of the rug, followed by a HEPA filtered vacuuming
• Dye-Blocking - ensures that the colors in your area rug maintain and do not bleed during the cleaning process
• Fringe Preparation to ensure the integrity and color of the fringe is maintained throughout the cleaning process
• Pre-Condition the area rug with cleaning solutions formulated for the specific fiber content of the rug
• Agitate by hand using a carpet groomer to break surface tension and work the solution evenly yet gently into the deep recesses of the area rug
• Deflocculate - allow the cleaning solution to break down oily, sticky soils into fine particles
• Rinsing through submersion in the Rug Bath to ensure the deepest clean possible, leaving the rug free soft and of any soapy residue
• Groom by hand with our special carpet groomer to reset the pile and allow air movement
• Inspect the area rug Post Cleaning to ensure the project is to our expectations
• Evaporate excess liquid to reduce drying time by placing industrial air movers
• Protect the carpet with our OPTIONAL Green Guard carpet protector, if desired

On Site Cleaning

On Site area rug cleaning is performed in the home using a hot water extraction method with a truck mounted extraction machine. The process for on site cleaning mirrors our process for Hot Water Extraction on wall to wall installed carpet, but is adapted to the unique challenges faced by the construction of area rugs in contrast to wall to wall carpet.

A Step By Step Breakdown of our On Site Area Rug Cleaning Process:

• Pre-Inspection of the area rug to determine fiber content and weave
• 2-step dry soil removal using a counter rotating brush to lift pile and achieve a more effective vacuuming(when fiber content allows us to do so), followed by a HEPA filtered vacuuming
• Prespay using our hypoallergenic non toxic Deep Cleaning cleaning detergent
• Agitate by hand using a carpet groomer to break surface tension and work the solution evenly yet gently into the deep recesses of the area rug
• Deflocculate - allow the cleaning solution to break down oily, sticky soils into fine particles
• Rinse and extract using our high powered truck mounted carpet cleaning unit. We utilize a neutralizing agent that continues to clean as we rinse and leaves the area rug soft and free of soapy residue
• Groom by hand with our special carpet groomer to reset the pile and allow air movement
• Inspect the carpet Post Cleaning to ensure the project is to our expectations
• Evaporate excess liquid to reduce drying time by placing industrial air movers
• Protect the carpet with our OPTIONAL Green Guard carpet protector, if desired
• Remove fans and provide a final grooming

Your heart may sink into your stomach when you drop a mug full of coffee on your expensive Persian or oriental area rug. You may find yourself looking on in horror as your toddler or pet tracks in mud from outside. These situations sound like the stuff of nightmares, but you can rest easy knowing our technicians are here to help.

We have the skills, knowledge, tools, and expertise to remove stubborn spots and stains on area rugs while maintaining their overall look and integrity. At Decker's Carpet Cleaning, we have tried and trusted area rug cleaning methods that have helped remove countless spots and stains from all types of area rugs and carpeting.

Whenever you notice your area rugs starting to show wear, or a new spot or spill appears, it may be tempting to run to the pantry and reach for that at home spot treatment spray or rent a DIY carpet cleaner. These options are generally not the way to go when it comes to maintaining your area rugs, or wall to wall carpet for that matter. One of the main problems with most at home treatments is that they are very soapy and tend to leave sticky residue behind, causing even more dirt and soils to stick to that spot. In some cases, depending on the material and dye of the rug, these products can cause color loss, bleaching, or bleeding of the dyes. One of the worst examples of this is anything with peroxide can actually destroy Wool Rug fibers. It is generally a safer choice for your area rug to be cleaned by a professional who has the tools, products, and know-how to handle almost any area rug cleaning situation.
