Professional Rug Cleaning at Sarasota Rug Spa:

Expert care for every rug, from intake to final inspection

Step 1: Intake and Inspection

  • Our trained experts begin by thoroughly examining your rug to identify fabric type, stains, and any existing damage. We document these findings to ensure the appropriate cleaning method is used, preserving the rug’s original quality.

Step 2: Dusting & Pre-cleaning

  • We remove loose dirt and debris using specialized dusting techniques to ensure that the rug is ready for the deep cleaning process. Pre-cleaning may involve spot-treating stains to prepare the rug for washing.

Step 3: Wash Cycle

  • This process is customized based on your rug’s material and condition to avoid damage. Using a combination of water, eco-friendly cleaning solutions, and gentle agitation, we wash the rug, taking extra care to preserve any delicate fibers.

Step 4: Rinse Cycle

  • We thoroughly rinse out all cleaning solutions and any remaining dirt to ensure that your rug is left free of residues. Multiple rinses may be used for particularly dirty rugs.

Step 5: Drying Phase

  • Your rug is placed in a temperature-controlled drying room to ensure it dries evenly and without issue. We carefully monitor the drying conditions to maintain the integrity of your rug’s structure.

Step 6: Final Inspection

  • Once the rug is fully dried, we inspect it one last time to ensure it meets our quality standards. Then, we will roll your rug back up, leaving your rug clean, fresh, and ready to return to your home. Shortly after, you’ll hear a call from us letting you know your rug is ready!

Are you dealing with a flooded rug?

Special Circumstances: Flooded or Water-Damaged Rugs

  • If your rug has been exposed to water, time is of the essence. Certain materials, such as rayon, silk, and jute, are more susceptible to irreversible damage when wet for an extended period of time. Wool and synthetic fibers like polypropylene are more resilient, but mold and mildew can begin growing within 48 hours on any rug. For flooded rugs, we follow an emergency cleaning process designed to extract water and treat the rug as quickly as possible to minimize damage.

Best Practices for Water-Damaged Rugs

  • Remove the rug from the water as soon as possible and place it outside in the sun to air out.

  • Do not roll up a wet rug, as this can encourage mold growth.

  • Call us, your professional rug cleaner, as soon as possible to mitigate damage.
