Dust Removal
Your rugs will be inspected, tagged with your info and rug needs. When the rug is ready to be washed, we make sure we dust your rug to remove loose dirt, grit, unwelcome particles, hair, etc. Both front and back is vacuumed after dusting.
Why is this important and how do we do it?
Long ago, rugs were manually beaten to get this dust out. Today, Capital Rug Cleaning has the equipment necessary to get this done under control. Rug dusting is done at our rug cleaning facility. Our machine beats the rug and vacuums the dust and at the same time.
Settlement of dust, sand, or grit lay at the foundation of your rug and reduce the life of a oriental carpet by causing premature wear. Your rugs are dusted to bring out these particles. An extremely important step in the process, it cannot be performed in your home.
Many carpet cleaners are forced to skip this step. Most are unaware of the importance of dusting rugs before wetting them. Also, in-home carpet cleaners that offer steam cleaning your rugs – miss this step 100% of the time. It is not recommended top steam clean natural fiber carpets – especially hand knotted wool area rugs.

Rug Washing by Hand
Soaked and scrubbed both front and back with plenty of clean water and rug shampoo (non-toxic).
3
Rinse Completely
We make sure no residue of any cleaning or spotting agents is left in the rug. The rug is rinsed completely and hung to dry.
4
Dry 100%
After washing, rinsing, and wringging, your rugs are hung in a controlled drying room. Depending on the thickness and fiber material, it will take 8-12 hours to completely dry your rugs.
If we determine the rug needs another wash, it will be washed again safely. If not, we’ll bring it down from the rack and give last inspection.

Wrap for Protection
Rugs will be wrapped for protection. You will be notified to collect or we’ll schedule your delivery.

What a lovely family business! They did a wonderful job cleaning a large area rug- removing pet stains and all! Service was prompt , very professional, and great rates! Highly recommend!
Very responsive to my scheduling needs. They cleaned a very dirty rug and it came out looking like new after the cleaning. I will bring it back for its next cleaning as well as to redo the edges when it is time.
Capital Rug Cleaning did an excellent job on two wool rugs. They were 20 years old and Capital made them look like new. Caleb, who picked up and delivered the rugs, was careful, kind, and very knowledgeable.
