Dirty Rugs Cause Excessive Wear, dull Colors and Poor Indoor Air Quality
Over time accumulated soiling, broken fibers, fine dirt’s and dust works it way down into a rug’s foundation. With each step and pivot of foot traffic the debris acts like sandpaper, this excessive wearing dulls the original luster and coloring of the rug. Area rugs act like a filtering system in your home, collecting particulate matter moving through the air and trapping it between the wools cuticles. Wool can hold 6 times its weight in stuff that causes poor indoor air quality such as animal hair, pet dander, skin particles, fleas.

What Makes Cold-Water Immersion Rug Cleaning Special?

- Natural vegetable dyes will bleed when exposed to hot water.
- Synthetic dyes will fade, and they can run with heated water.
- Cold-Water immersion washing is still used exclusively in the regions of the world where these fine rugs are woven. Heated water and harsh cleaners dramatically reduce the life of a rug that can last generations.
- It’s hands on, boots wet and labor intensive. No harsh chemical or steel equipment and tools contacting the rug while washing. Rugs are washed and gently rolled while immersed in two inches of water.

Special Rug Treatments for Pet-Stained Rugs in Whatcom County, WA
Pets are just like kids, always cheerful and energetic. Even with trained pet, accidents happen sometimes. If these accidents don't receive proper and immediate treatment then it can ruin the rug’s appearance. At Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning, our knowledge in this area of pet-damaged rugs have given us a name in the Pacific Northwest for our skills.
Pet Odor Removal: We are the only company that will guarantee odor removal of woven rugs. If we charge you for odor removal, we guarantee results.
Pet Stain Removal: Pet urine is begins it’s life as an acidic compound. Dyes are acidic based, so urine and dyed fibers create a marriage of sorts. As the urine deposit ages it changes from acidic to alkaline. This is when a pet stain becomes permanent and cannot be removed by cleaning. Once the chemistry converts to alkaline the dyes run from the fibers and you have dye bleed. During the washing process we can remove the odors of woven rugs but not the bleeding or staining that has occurred. Restoration can be done on certain rugs to remove visual bleeding of dyes.
Our Wide Range of Rug Solutions
Apart from rug cleaning and pet care solutions, our experts will also help you with the following services. That includes:
Rug Repair: Over time your rug experiences natural wear on the fringe. Many times, fringe is an easy repair if we get to it while the weft yarns are still intact. The sides of rugs or selvage will naturally wear also, this can be a relative simple repair as long as the warps are intact. Moth damage can be devastating for wool rugs when stored for long periods or in home rugs that have furniture placed over them for long periods. Our weaver can repair moth holes, but it can get costly. No matter the issue is, you can always rely on answers and solutions.
Rug Pads: We custom cut rug pads at our facility. Rug pads help prevent slip and fall injuries. They also prevent friction wear on natural hardwood flooring and act as a vapor barrier. Furthermore, our rug pads offer a Firm Grip™ that will keep your rug in place.
Rug Protection: We offer moth-repellent, protector, and stain-repellent solutions to you. So that you can prevent any stain and pest damage on the rug.
