Houston Rug Cleaners



In the video above the rug was actually cleaned by another cleaner about two weeks before the video was shot.  It is amazing how much soil these rugs can hold.  It should also be noted that trying to remove the dry soil with a vacuum cleaner will not be successful.  Wool fiber under a microscope looks like a Christmas tree.  So when soil gets into the rug it will go down but a large percentage of it will not come back up with vacuuming because of the characteristics of the wool fibers.  This is why it is way easier to flip a rug upside down and vibrate the dry soil loose then it is to vacuum it from the top.  This is also a good reason why rugs should always be cleaned in a rug cleaning plant and not at your home.  We can't transport the proper rug cleaning equipment to your home and set it up cost effectively.  After the video we still had to spend another 30-40 minutes getting the dry soil out of the rug.   For more information on rug cleaning visit our website or feel free to call us during business hours (Mon. - Fri. 8am - 5pm) at 281-548-7200.
