Preparing for Rug Cleaning

Proper preparation is key to effective rug cleaning. These are steps that most professional rug cleaning services follow:

Clear the Area

Remove furniture and objects from the rug to have a clean, open surface to work on.

Dusting and Vacuuming

Thoroughly vacuuming the rug can help remove loose dirt and debris. For shaggy rugs, use a brush to untangle and fluff the fibers.

Stain Inspection

Professionals also examine the rug for any visible stains or spots. In addition, they identify the type of stains to determine the appropriate cleaning method.

Protect the Surroundings

Cover any nearby furniture or items with plastic sheets or towels to prevent accidental splashes or spillage during the cleaning process.

By preparing your rug and its surroundings properly, you set the stage for a successful cleaning session, ensuring your rug looks and feels its best when you’re finished.
