Then, in conjunction with humidity in the air trapped dust turns into a form of dry clay which makes the wool of the rug brittle. After a certain time, the rug becomes like sandpaper and gets more force of friction which wears out the rug. Normal cleaning methods cannot take this dust away, for example hovering can only provide a superficial cleaning.

Rug Store method of cleaning starts with dusting, which takes out 90 - 95% of the dust, and then we wash the rug thoroughly. We extract the dirty water and soap residue by spin drying; we then dry the rug in natural conditions without exposing it to unnatural heat which can cause wrinkling of the rug. Finally, another dusting session is necessary in order to eliminate the stubborn particles that have not been removed during the first dusting. Although this is our general method, we treat each rug individually in order to prevent damaging and possible colour run incidents. We also offer moth proofing and freshening treatment service to those rugs created fungi in its structure that causes bad smell.
