We follow a multi-step process that gently but thoroughly washes your rug:

  • Dusting to remove embedded grit

  • Soaking in cold water with plant-based detergent

  • Gentle agitation to release soil and odors

  • Centrifuge spinning for moisture removal

  • Hanging & drying in a climate-controlled room
