Inside the Rug Pit: The Langenwalter Difference in Cleaning Area and Oriental Rugs

In some ways, Oriental and area rugs are similar to carpet.  Like carpet, area and Oriental rugs add beauty and comfort to the floors in your home.  Similar to carpet, Oriental and area rugs endure the endless foot traffic that marches on day after day.  Just like carpet, area and Oriental rugs hold the dirt, dust, allergens, pet dander, and biologic materials left there by pets, people, and polluted air.  Yet there are some differences too.  One difference is that, unlike carpet, rugs can be removed from your home and professionally cleaned.  In the Rug Pit at Langenwalter Carpet Cleaning, we provide superior rug cleaning.  Here’s how we do it:

Comprehensive Cleaning Process

Before we pick your area or Oriental rug up for cleaning or you bring it into our Rug Pit, we already know how we will treat each and every rug.  We have a plan.  With our detailed step-by-step process, we ensure that all rugs will be handled carefully and cleaned thoroughly.

Powerful Equipment

Rugs can sustain hundreds of steps a day and thousands or even more between cleanings.  Each step can deposit dirt (or worse) and press it further in between fibers.  Regular vacuuming will remove some of this but not all.  Some particles will be pushed deep into rugs, and these are not easy to displace.  However, the secret weapon of the Rug Pit is the RugBadger, which delivers 40,000 vibrations per minute to rugs.  This tenacious piece of machinery will not stop until all the garbage is purged.  This intense shaking process gets rugs ready for washing.  Visit our website to watch a video of this amazing piece of machinery.

Expert Know-How

Not every rug is the same.  Rugs can differ in the fibers they are composed of, what dyes are used, and how they are made.  You probably do not know all about the best practices for cleaning each type of rug or even what factors demand consideration.  That’s okay – we do!  We evaluate each rug and then employ the best practices for that type of rug.

Conscientious Workers

Armed with a plan, amazing equipment, and extensive expertise, we are ready to execute.  Our team of rug-cleaning technicians carefully carry out each step of our process from inspecting to dislodging dirt to cleaning and rinsing to thoroughly drying.  Many of our technicians have been working for us for over 10 years.  They know what they are doing!  From the initial evaluation to the final inspection, they apply their accumulated knowledge to make each rug clean and beautiful.

As you can see, Langenwalter’s Rug Pit is equipped with all the resources needed to attack each rug cleaning.  If you have area or Oriental rugs that haven’t had a professional cleaning for a year (or years), now is a great time to get it done.  Our current special can be applied to any of our services, including rug cleaning.  You can bring rugs in to our facility or we can come to your home and pick them up.
