Having your rugs cleaned will not only make your rugs fresher and brighter but also help to revive their natural feel and colour enhancing any room they are laid in.

Unlike other companies, we’ll choose the right cleaning process that is best suited for your specific rug type and avoid the use of any harsh chemicals, bleaching agents or other hazardous products that could potentially damage the fibres or ruin the colour. We always carry out a detailed pre-cleaning inspection and will discuss any areas of concern that you may have regarding your rugs and your service options.

You Can Trust Us With Your Rugs

Since 2000, Bailey’s Floor Care has cleaned thousands of rugs and dealt with a wide range of fibres, constructions and cleaning challenges, our team at Bailey’s have been able to deal with most situations that we have come across over the years.  So your rugs are safe in our hands and from collection to delivery your rugs will be given the perfect rug spa treatment available.

One of the most important steps in the rug cleaning process is to remove the ground-in dry soil from the base of your rug.  We do this using many different methods from air dusting to old fashioned beating.
Here’s a short video of our Rug Badger being used on a rug.
Harnessing over 40,000 harmonic vibrations a minute, the Rug Badger will vibrate out even the most stubborn soil and sediments caught deep in the fibres of your rug!

Take a look below at our Rug Cleaning process

From pre-wash inspection to the finishing touches… All designed to produce results that make you proud of your rugs again.

1. PRE-INSPECTION: (Read More)
Your rug is inspected for any pre-existing conditions. Many times, soil covers up dye lot variations (abrash), fibre staining, prior dye bleeding, worn areas or white knots that become “uncovered” after the wash. Some of these are weaving characteristics (abrash and white knots), whilst others are damage that can possibly be repaired or reversed.
2. DUSTING: (Read More)
Once the pre-wash inspection is complete, we can begin with thorough dusting. Some rugs can hold up to one pound of dirt per square foot before they actually appear dirty. Cleaning a rug with pounds of fine grit and dirt in the foundation creates mud, so dry dusting is an important first step to the rug cleaning process. We will remove ALL of the damaging soil! Harnessing over 40,000 harmonic vibrations a minute, our Rug Badger will vibrate out even the most stubborn soil and sediments caught deep in its fibres.
3. CLEANING: (Read More)
The dyes of your rug are tested for colourfastness. If the dyes are not colourfast, then the rug is prepared by setting the dyes. We will then begin a cold water, mild shampoo bath, using soft brushes for mild agitation. The rug is soaked for a certain length of time, depending on how much surface soil needs to be worked out and rinsed from the fibres. The rug is then thoroughly rinsed with clean water, before being spun in our centrifuge spinner, which can remove up to 95% of the water.

Getting a rug dry as quickly as possible reduces the possibilities of dye migration. With our process, your rug will take just hours to dry, instead of days.

4. PROTECTOR: (Read More)
After the cleaning process, we can move on to applying the protector to your rug. This barrier coats each fibre to protect against re-soiling and staining. This allows you to simply mop up spills as it prevents the fibre from absorbing spills.
5. DRYING: (Read More)
Air movers are used to help facilitate drying without the use of high heat, so there is no risk of shrinkage.

Upon a first wash, it is typical for a rug to shrink slightly (less than an inch) – just as cotton and wool clothing does in even a cold water hand wash. Our special drying room is temperature and humidity controlled to ensure safe and speedy drying of your rugs.  And, as with throwing wool or cotton in a high heat dryer, you know this shrinks natural fibres… this is why we dry our rugs the way we do.

6. FRINGE & FINISHING: (Read More)
Fringes are washed again after the bath, before being dried. Your rug is then given a final grooming with a horsehair brush before being carefully wrapped to ensure its cleanliness during transit. We will then deliver your rug directly to your home and unwrap it for you.

So, if for whatever reason you’re dissatisfied with the service we provided, just let us know! We will re-do the job as a matter of urgency, and if you’re still not happy, we will give you all of your money back!
