    • Shampoo: We use safe organic, chemical free cleansers twice before we rinse the rug. We continue this process until we get rid of all the residue, dirt, stains, and odor. 
    • Inspection #2: Our experts then re inspect the rug to see if there are any harsh stains still left over which they then clean manually. We also check the rug fringes again to see whether they need more manual cleaning. 
    • Drying: We then leave the rug to dry naturally. 
    • Delivery: We then bring the rug back to your precious home and ask the clients if they’re happy with our work!
