Rug Cleaning Process

Benefits of Chemdry Cleaning

Deeper, Longer-Lasting Clean

Chemdry’s carbonation cleaning method offers a deeper clean that lasts longer than other methods. It removes allergens and bacteria, improving the air quality inside.

Since no soapy residues are left behind, carpets remain clean longer. Dirt is less likely to stick to the fibres.

Preserving Your Rugs and Carpets

The gentle cleaning process preserves rug dye and leaves colours vibrant. We offer a safer, healthier option for homes with children and pets, ensuring that your family can enjoy clean carpets without exposure to harsh chemicals.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your rugs and carpets, regular cleaning is crucial. For most area rugs, Chem-dry recommends cleaning every 6-12 months to combat stains and preserve their quality.

Wall-to-wall carpets, especially in homes with children, pets, or allergy sufferers, should be cleaned every 6 months.

Oriental / Persian Rug Cleaning

Oriental, Persian, Chinese, or Egyptian rugs need more careful cleaning than regular large rugs. They often feature a sculpted design with areas of different fibre heights or are hand-cut to achieve this look.

Before cleaning these specialty rugs, we perform detailed tests. These tests check for the rug’s compatibility and determine its fibre content. This takes into account variations in how machine-made and handwoven rugs are constructed.

Identifying the fibre content is a key part of our cleaning service. It helps prevent issues like colour bleeding, colour runs, or distortion of the rug’s pile.

This ensures that Chem-Dry treats your valuable rugs with the care they deserve every time.

Specialty Treatments Available

In addition to our standard cleaning service, at Chem-dry we offer specialty treatments to address specific needs. Our protectant package helps resist stains, slow aging, and extend the life of your carpets.

For homes with pets, the Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.) effectively eliminates stubborn odours. They also provide a deodoriser to neutralise trapped cooking smells, and other tough odours.

The Cleaning Process Step-by-Step

Pre-Inspection and Pre-Vacuuming

The Chemdry cleaning process begins with a pre-inspection to assess the condition of your rugs or carpets and determine the appropriate cleaning approach.

Next, a thorough pre-vacuuming removes loose dirt and debris.

Stain Pre-Treatment and Hot Carbonating Extraction

Stubborn spots are pre-treated to break them down and prepare them for removal. The hot carbonating extraction process then deep cleans your carpets, lifting dirt and grime to the surface, where it is extracted.

Post-Inspection

Finally, a post-inspection ensures that your carpets have been cleaned to our high standards.

By understanding these key aspects of Chemdry rug cleaning, you can make an informed decision when choosing a cleaning service for your home or business.

With its innovative process, eco-friendly solutions, and commitment to quality, we offer an effective way to maintain clean, healthy, and beautiful carpets and rugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Difference Between Chem-dry’s Cleaning Process and Traditional Steam Cleaning?

• We use a low-moisture, carbonation-based cleaning method called Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE), which relies on millions of tiny bubbles to release dirt and grime from carpet fibres.
• Traditional steam cleaning uses high amounts of water and pressure, which can lead to extended drying times and potential mould or mildew growth.
• Chem-dry’s process uses about 80% less water resulting in faster drying times (typically 1-2 hours) and a healthier cleaning approach.

How does Chemdry address pet urine smells and stains in carpets and rugs?

Our special treatment called Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.) tackles pet smell sources.

• First, we use a UV light to find where pets had accidents.
• Then, we clean those spots with HCE (Hot Carbonating Extraction).
• After cleaning, we apply the P.U.R.T. solution. This breaks down urine crystals and gets rid of smells. Unlike just covering up smells with fragrances, this method actually addresses the problem more deeply and effectively.

What additional services do you offer to protect and maintain carpets and rugs?

• Chemdry provides a Protectant Package that uses a combination of protective treatments to create a stain-resistant barrier on carpet fibres, helping to prevent future stains and extend the life of the carpet.
• We also offer a deodoriser treatment to neutralise tough, lingering smells from pets, cooking, and other sources.
• For particularly stubborn stains, such as those caused by permanent markers or lipstick, our technicians have access to specialised stain removal products that can effectively treat a wide range of stains.
