They can create style, individuality and prestige to a home. Like wall to wall carpeting, an area rug can take a lot of mistreatment by repetitive traffic, soil, spills, sand and many other contaminants.

Call Northern Virginia Carpet and Rug Cleaning, the rug cleaning specialists, to deep clean and protect your area rugs.

Using advanced equipment and special rug cleaning procedures, our skilled technicians will guarantee your area rug continues to enlighten your home for many years in the future.

We will treat your rugs with special attention and care. Northern Virginia Rug Cleaning is certified in determining the perfect cleaning techniques and methods to clean your rug's particular fibers, knots and dyes.

Our trained technicians begin by using a dusting machine which is more effective in the removal of soil than trying to vacuum them. Rugs are then washed and hung to dry in a perfected air environment.

We use one of the most advanced technologies to clean deep and revitalize your area rug, to make it a great mix of glowing intensity and texture and once again a treasure of your home.

Here's a closer look at how it's done:

• Pre-Assessment - We calculate the appearance your rugs, looking for evidence of discoloration, spots or stains, fading, wearing, existing damage, colorfastness and odors. We appraise the cleanability of your rug and the proper cleaning method that should be used.

• Dust - We remove the dust and fine debris lying deep inside the area rug, by using compressed air and special accessories. This is usually called air-washing or dusting, and is by far the most effective method rather than just trying to vacuuming or beat the rug.

• Pre-Treat - Stains, spills and spots are pre treated by using the most cutting-edge spotting procedures.

• Pre-Clean - Areas of heavier traffic and soil are pre-cleaned. Some examples would be discoloration caused by fading, wear, or when reaction to chemicals can not be reversed.

• Dissolve and extract the ground-in dirt.

• Rinse to remove the deeper dirt and cleaner residue, to restore the natural texture.

• Grooming to restore with special tools. Attention: distortion or fiber wear can not be reversed.

• Dry - Your Rugs put into a controlled climate room to thoroughly dry. It usually takes no more than 24 hours.

• Final-Inspection - We conduct a painstaking inspection of your rugs. If we need to, we will repeat any of the steps above until the rugs are as clean and brilliant looking as is possible.
