The custom-built vibrating dusting machine gets to work, gently loosening the deeply embedded dirt from both the front and back of your rug. The rug is then totally soaked and submerged in cool water, along with mild, organic shampoo. As it sets in, this process breaks down and brings out all impurities and any additional deep-set dirt and dust trapped within the fibers and foundations. Then the rug is rinsed with purified water to flush out and remove all the impurities until the water runs clear. Then excess water is squeezed out and the rug is left to air dry. We also dry some rugs on a blocking table as they are prone to losing their shape when wet. Once the rug is completely dry, the final steps include brushing the rug and its fringes. After this, a final inspection is performed and upon passing the inspection, the rug is rolled up and ready to be delivered.
