Area Rug Cleaning in Scotts Valley, CA
Area rugs, much like carpets and upholstered furniture, serve as natural air filters in your home. They trap dirt, dust, and non-living allergens*, preventing these harmful elements from spreading to other rooms. However, to ensure your rugs continue to do their job effectively, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Just as you routinely replace the air filter in your home’s ventilation system, it’s important to keep your carpets, upholstery, and area rugs clean.

How to prepare for a Chem-Dry oriental rug cleaning
Step 1: Remove clutter
Before our Chem-Dry area rug cleaners in Scotts Valley begin the main cleaning process, they’ll vacuum the rug to prepare it. However, larger items like shoes, toys, or other clutter can obstruct the process and even pose tripping hazards. Clearing these items beforehand helps ensure your rug is cleaned thoroughly, efficiently, and with the utmost care.
Step 2: Remove light furniture
Many people place their area rugs underneath coffee tables and other small pieces of furniture. While these focus pieces of furniture can do wonders to tie a room’s decor together, it can get in the way of a cleaning. Our technicians are experts at oriental rug cleaning, but they are not licensed movers. Set furniture pieces—such as coffee tables, plant stands, and floor lamps—to the side in a nearby room, then move them back after the cleaning, once the rug is dry.
Step 3: Note stains and other focus areas
Sometimes, once you’ve noticed a stain or a flaw on your area rug, that can become all you see whenever you look at the rug. We certainly want to make sure that you are completely satisfied once we have completed your area rug cleaning, so if there are any particular areas where you want extra care, take a note of them and share that with the cleaner.
Step 4: Make preparations for your pets
A new person in your house, particularly one bringing new equipment and new smells with them, can potentially agitate your pets, so make sure that you have prepared for this. It might be wise to have your pet stay with a friend or relative, or even closed into another room or the backyard.
Step 5: Clear a path
It can be easy to forget that a technician needs to get himself and his equipment from his vehicle to your front door and from your front door to the rug. Make sure that there is a pathway he can take in order to clean your oriental rug gently and efficiently. Some technicians use equipment that is attached to the van, so it may be a good idea to move cars out of the way so that his van is as close to the entrance as possible.
