Windsor-Essex Professional Area Rug Cleaning

Area rugs collect far more than what can be seen on the surface.

Mister Steamer offers professional area rug cleaning with both in-home cleaning and off-site rug washing options depending on the rug’s construction, condition and cleaning requirements.

Our off-site facility allows us to perform more extensive soil removal, washing, rinsing and controlled drying than is practical inside the home.

Every Rug Is Evaluated Individually

Rugs can differ enormously in fibre, dyes, backing materials, construction and condition.

That means we don’t believe every rug should automatically go through an identical ten-step process.

Before cleaning, the rug is inspected for concerns such as colour stability, fibre condition, pet contamination, fringe condition, tears, weakened backing or previous damage.

The cleaning method is then selected accordingly.

Off-Site Rug Washing

For rugs suitable for full washing, dry particulate soil can first be removed using professional dusting and vacuuming equipment as appropriate.

Cleaning agents are then selected according to the rug and the type of contamination present.

Depending on construction and condition, washing may include controlled preconditioning, spotting, agitation and thorough rinsing.

Rugs suitable for centrifuge extraction can then be placed in our rug centrifuge, which removes a very large amount of water and suspended contamination before drying.

The rug is then placed in a controlled drying environment with airflow until appropriately dry.

Final detailing may include grooming, additional spotting, fringe attention or removal of remaining loose fibres as needed.

Not Every Rug Gets the Same Treatment

Some rugs should not be aggressively scrubbed.

Some require additional dry-soil removal.

Some require dye testing.

Some require special attention to urine contamination.

Some may be better suited to controlled surface cleaning rather than full immersion or saturation.

Our goal is to select the safest practical method capable of producing a strong cleaning result.

In-Home Area Rug Cleaning

Some synthetic and colourfast area rugs can also be cleaned in the home.

This is especially useful when the rug does not require the more extensive treatment available through our off-site washing service.

We can help determine which option makes the most sense from photos and information about the rug.

Pet Contamination

Pet urine contamination can travel into the fibres, backing and foundation of a rug.

When substantial contamination is present, additional treatment may be necessary beyond standard cleaning.

Because severity varies considerably, pet treatment is evaluated separately rather than automatically included with every rug cleaning.

Pickup, Delivery and Drop-Off

Drop-off cleaning is available, with pickup and delivery available in qualifying areas for an additional charge.
