Removal of dry soil is one of the most important steps in the process of cleaning oriental rugs. Fine particles of sand, grit, and soil can greatly decrease the life and beauty of a fine rug. We go to great lengths to remove these trapped impediments prior to the introduction of the next cleaning method. Our process thoroughly vibrates the rug from the back, thus allowing these fiber damaging impediments to fall free from the rug to be vacuumed. This process can effectively remove up to 95% of the loose soil trapped in the rug fibers that cannot be removed by vacuuming alone. We then vacuum the back and front before proceeding to the actual washing of the rug.
