Hand-Tufted Rug Cleaning in Englewood Cliffs – Mo’s Rug & More

What is our Cleaning Process?

We begin every cleaning with a rug inspection to determine the safest and best approach. Here is how we take care of tufted rugs:

1. Pre-Cleaning Inspection

In the inspection, we be looking for glue failure, odor build-up, pet stains, loose tufts, dyes stability, and the wool, cotton, or synthetic fiber blend.

2. Dry Soil Extraction

Dust, dry soil, or other debris trapped in the pile is removed with controlled suction or vibration. This method removes almost all contamination and therefore, minimizes wear and tear before going into the wash.
3. Low-Water Surface Cleaning

We apply a wool-safe or fiber-safe solution to the surface of the rug in a light application to avoid over-soaking the rug and ruining the backing or latex adhesive. Stains are treated using the hand method and spot-removal methods.

4. Odor Treatment & Pet Stains (if applicable)
We treat rugs containing pet accidents or musty odors with enzyme deodorizers specifically designed to remove bacteria from the rug without damaging it.

5. Controlled Drying

Rugs will then be dried flat in a controlled climate. This will be the most critical part of the cleaning process, as it will reduce bubbling from forming, prevent excess shrinking of the rug, and will not disrupt the glue. We will not hang tufted rugs similar to conventional wool rugs.
6. Final Grooming

We brush and lift the pile to clean the rug and indicate texture and softness. In the final grooming or inspection phase, we will check for odor(s), additional spots needing attention, repairs, etc.
