Our Step-by-Step Rug Cleaning Process
Our proven rug cleaning method is carefully crafted to ensure maximum effectiveness without compromising your rug’s quality.
1. Inspection & Pre-Cleaning Assessment
Every rug we clean begins with a thorough inspection. We examine the construction, dyes, fabric type, and condition. This allows us to choose the safest and most effective cleaning method. Special attention is paid to stains, worn patches, or potential moth damage.
2. Dusting – Removing Deep Dirt
Using industrial-grade dusting equipment, we remove dust, sand, hair, and allergens trapped deep within the rug’s fibres. This is a crucial step that is often overlooked in basic cleaning services. Proper dusting ensures that water-based cleaning is more effective and doesn’t turn dirt into muddy residue.
3. Deep Cleaning with Wool-Safe Products
Our washing process involves gentle, pH-balanced shampoos that are safe for natural fibres such as wool, cotton, silk, and jute. Rugs are washed thoroughly using fresh, clean water in a specially designed rug bath. The goal is to penetrate the rug’s fibres without causing dye bleeding or shrinkage.
4. Rinsing & Water Extraction
After washing, rugs are gently rinsed until all residue is removed. We use professional water extraction tools to draw out moisture while preserving the rug’s shape and fibre structure.
5. Air Drying in Controlled Conditions
Drying is one of the most important phases of rug cleaning. We never expose rugs to harsh heat. Instead, all rugs are air-dried in a clean, ventilated, temperature-controlled environment. This prevents damage and keeps fibres soft and colours vibrant.
6. Final Grooming and Inspection
Once dry, your rug is groomed to restore pile direction and softness. A final inspection ensures everything meets our high standards. Only then is your rug carefully packed and scheduled for delivery.
Rug Types We Clean
Different rugs require different care. Our technicians are trained to recognise and clean a wide variety of rug styles. Here’s a snapshot of what we handle at Extreme Cleaning Services:
- Persian Rugs – Known for their intricate craftsmanship, these require gentle yet deep cleaning to protect both design and dye.
- Oriental Rugs – Often handmade, Oriental rugs receive special attention with safe cleaning products and precise techniques.
- Wool Rugs – Durable but prone to retaining moisture, we use wool-safe solutions to clean and preserve these warm, soft rugs.
- Silk Rugs – Extremely delicate, silk rugs are washed by hand with extra care to maintain their sheen and luxurious texture.
- Jute & Sisal Rugs – These natural fibre rugs can be damaged by moisture, so we use low-moisture techniques.
- Cotton Rugs – Easy to handle but still require proper drying and cleaning to avoid shrinkage or fading.
- Shag Rugs – Their long fibres trap dirt; we use deep yet gentle methods to revive fluffiness without matting.
- Vintage & Antique Rugs – These pieces are treated like historical artefacts with appropriate restoration and safe handling methods.
Rug Repair and Restoration Services
A rug may need more than just cleaning. Frayed edges, damaged fringes, threadbare spots, or colour fading can make your once-prized rug look worn out. We offer professional rug repair and restoration in Melbourne. From hand-reweaving damaged areas to re-binding edges and replacing fringes, our experts use traditional techniques and matching materials to bring your rug back to life. Whether it’s a beloved family heirloom or a modern designer rug, our goal is to preserve both aesthetics and structure.
Rug Cleaning Melbourne That Preserves Your Investment
A rug is more than just a floor covering — it’s a work of art, a piece of history, or a family treasure. That’s why our rug cleaning Melbourne services are built on care, experience, and precision. When you choose us , you’re choosing a team that understands the value of your rug and treats it accordingly. With years of dedicated rug care, our Melbourne customers trust us to deliver consistent, high-quality results. We never rush the process and never compromise on quality. Each rug receives our full attention — from pickup to final delivery.
Moth Treatment for Rugs
One of the silent destroyers of wool and natural fibre rugs is moth damage, especially in low-traffic areas or under furniture. Moth larvae feed on organic fibres, causing patchy bald spots and irreparable damage. Our moth treatment services involve detection, deep cleaning, and application of non-toxic repellents to eliminate larvae and prevent reinfestation. If you suspect moth activity, early intervention is essential.
