Rug Cleaning in Burbank, CA

Rug cleaning in Burbank homes

Older Burbank neighborhoods run to hardwood. Magnolia Park bungalows, the Rancho streets, the hillside homes above Glenoaks. Wool and silk area rugs sit over that wood. That is why rugs leave the house. In-home wanding pushes water into the floor below, and the rug never rinses out. We wash off site.

Dry soil comes out first. Grit works down to the foundation of the weave and cuts the fibers from underneath. Freeway particulate off the 5 and the 134 settles in. So does ash after fire season, which sits as odor more than as visible dirt.

Before water, we test. Dyes are checked for bleed. Viscose sold as silk behaves nothing like wool and yellows if handled wrong. We look for dry rot along south and west edges where sun has baked the cotton warps, and for moth damage under where furniture stood.

Pet urine is the honest problem. It passes through the rug, through the pad, into the wood or slab. The rug can be flushed. The floor beneath may still need attention, and we will say so.

We inspect first, quote firmly before pickup, and note pre-existing wear on the ticket.
