Over years of use, rugs become flattened and stained, losing their vibrant appeal. But deep professional cleaning can turn back time, reviving your rugs to their original beauty and lustre. Read on to learn insider tips and techniques from the rug care pros for total carpet rejuvenation.
Addressing the Damage of Accumulated Grime
Walked-on rugs gradually accumulate:
- Ground-in dirt and debris that dulls colors and patterns
- Dust mites, pet dander and other allergens that trigger reactions
- Spills that lead to stubborn stains if not treated promptly
- Bacteria and odors from moisture that degrade air quality
- Abrasive grit that causes progressive damage to rug fibers
Thorough deep cleaning by professionals lifts out this buildup.

Winning the Battle Against Red Wine
Red wine’s pigmented, tannin-rich makeup poses a rug-staining nightmare. Attempts to scrub often make matters worse. Trust professional stain removal methods:
- Identify fibers to select suitable cleaners and techniques

- Flush with rinse agents formulated to lift wine residues
