At the Heart of It All:
Our Comprehensive Wash

Our comprehensive washing approach is the cornerstone of everything we do. It’s more than just cleaning—it’s a carefully designed process that restores your rug’s beauty, removes deep-down dirt and odors, and protects its fibers for years to come.

From advanced equipment to expert handling, every step is thoughtfully executed to deliver exceptional results you can see, feel, and smell.

Because your rug deserves more than a surface clean—it deserves a total refresh.

At Day & Nite Rugs, we’ve spent decades perfecting a rug cleaning system that’s both gentle and effective. Our 10-step process combines cutting-edge technology with expert craftsmanship to restore the beauty, cleanliness, and longevity of every rug we handle.

Step 1: Rug Check-In & Expert Assessment

Every rug’s journey begins with a detailed, hands-on inspection—whether dropped off or picked up. Our experts carefully examine for:

• Visible stains or damage
• Heavily soiled areas
• Pet accidents or odor spots
• Fiber type & construction details

We take note of any special cleaning needs to create a customized care plan that ensures your rug gets exactly what it needs—nothing more, nothing less.

This first step sets the foundation for a safe, effective, and beautiful transformation.

Step 2: Deep Dive Inspection

After the initial check-in, we take things a step further with a thorough, up-close inspection of your rug.

Here’s what we look for:

• Hidden stains not visible at first glance
• Deep-set soil and embedded debris
• Delicate areas needing extra care
• Any previous repairs or signs of wear

This deeper assessment helps us craft the perfect cleaning strategy—one that’s gentle, effective, and customized to your rug’s unique materials and history.

The goal? A spotless, vibrant rug without compromising its integrity.

Step 3: Powerful Pre-Clean Dusting

Before a single drop of water touches your rug, we tackle one of the most important steps: dusting.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, we gently but thoroughly remove:

• Dry soil
• Dust and allergens
• Deeply embedded debris

This isn’t just a surface sweep—our process reaches deep into the fibers where vacuums can’t.

By removing dry particles first, we prevent them from turning into mud during washing and ensure a deeper, more effective clean down the line.

Think of this as hitting the reset button for your rug—clean starts here.

Step 4: Full Immersion Wash & Gentle Rinse

Now it’s time for the deep clean. Your rug is fully immersed in a specially formulated bath of water and gentle, fiber-safe cleaning agents—designed specifically for fine rugs.

During this process, we:

• Agitate the rug to loosen stubborn dirt, odors, and stains
• Target problem areas without harming delicate fibers or dyes
• Break down buildup from years of foot traffic and pet activity

Once clean, the rug is carefully rinsed multiple times to ensure every trace of soap and residue is gone, leaving it fresh, soft, and beautifully revitalized.

This is where your rug truly begins to come back to life.

Step 5: High-Speed Water Extraction

After its deep cleanse, your rug takes a spin—literally. We place it in a cutting-edge centrifugal machine that rapidly extracts excess water.

This powerful (yet gentle) spin cycle:

• Pulls moisture from deep within the fibers
• Speeds up drying time dramatically
• Prevents mold, mildew, and fiber damage

The result? A rug that’s not only clean but well on its way to being safe, dry, and ready for the final touches.

Fast. Effective. Essential.

Step 6: Fresh Air Drying

With most of the water spun out, your rug enters the final phase of the cleaning journey: a carefully controlled, natural drying process.

We hang or lay the rug flat in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled space designed for:

• Optimal airflow
• Even, gentle drying
• Preventing shrinkage, warping, and color fading

Drying times vary depending on rug material and humidity, but we never rush this step.

The result? A rug that’s soft, dry, and beautifully restored—ready to return home.

Step 7: Final Grooming & Fluffing

Now that your rug is clean and dry, it’s time for the finishing touch—a full grooming treatment to bring back its natural beauty.

Our team carefully performs:

• Combing and brushing to realign fibers
• De-tangling of any matted areas
• Fluffing to restore softness and plush texture

This step doesn’t just make your rug look great—it revives its feel and enhances that like-new appearance you’ll love.

Soft. Fluffy. Fresh. It’s the perfect final flourish.

Step 8: Fringe Detailing & Restoration

The final touch is all in the details—and that means giving your rug’s fringe the care it deserves.

Fringe often traps dust, dirt, and discoloration, so we take extra time to:

• Gently clean with specialized solutions
• Lift stains without harming delicate fibers
• Brush and align each strand for a crisp, fresh finish

This delicate process helps restore the original color, texture, and flow of the fringe, adding that final touch of elegance to your freshly cleaned rug.

Because a rug isn’t truly finished until the fringe looks flawless.

Step 9: Final Touches & Quality Check

With your rug now clean, dry, and beautifully groomed, we finish with a final vacuum and expert inspection to ensure everything is just right.

This last step includes:

• Gentle vacuuming to remove any remaining loose fibers or dust
• A detailed quality inspection by our rug care specialists
• Confirming that the rug meets our exacting standards—and yours

Only when everything looks, feels, and smells perfect is your rug considered ready for delivery.

Because excellence isn’t a step—it’s the standard.

Step 10: Optional Add-Ons for Long-Term Protection
