3. On-location Cleaning
The
IICRC S-100 Standard for the Cleaning of Textile Floor Coverings recommends that area rugs be removed from a clientâs home or business and cleaned under the controlled conditions of an âin-plantâ cleaning facility.
When this is not an option due to size, cost, logistics, customer preference, the rug may be cleaned on-location. On-site rug cleaning should only be performed by a technician trained in the various methods that will most safely and effectively clean the rug.
Extra care should be taken not to damage the flooring under and around the rug being cleaned.
All cautions should be discussed and noted by your IICC Certified technician.
Care Tips:
-Rotate your rug once or twice a year to prevent uneven wear and fading.
-Flip your rug upside down and use a full size upright vacuum cleaner with a beater bar/brush roll to vibrate dry soil out of the fibers. Spend a good amount of time going over the rug from many directions. Be prepared to sweep or vacuum up what could be a considerable amount of dust if you live in a dry area or have pets.
