Dusting is the most important step in cleaning area rugs. Area rugs collect an amazing amount of dust, sand and dirt. These become embedded in the foundation of the rug.

The dust, sand and dirt must be removed before any cleaning with water can be done. Using water without first dusting will cause embedded materials to harden around the foundation, causing a stiffer, unhealthy rug, ultimately shortening its lifespan.

For years the standard method was hanging the rug and beating it with a rug beaer or running the rug through a dusting machine, which beats the rug mechanically. Both methods can be harmful to the rug, weakening or ripping the foundation.

Our advanced method of dusting using compressed air and our patented air wand, removes years of embedded soil and sand safetly from the foundation up with no harmful beating of the rug.

When your rug is cleaned and restored by Oriental Rug Care, you can rest assured that any allergens that remain when other companies clean with inferior methods, will be thoroughly removed, leaving your rug dust free- contributing substantially to your healthy home environment.
