Your rug isn’t just there to be walked on, it's a valuable investment that improves the entire room it's in. Here at The Steam Team, we recognize how important it is that your rug receives proper care.

Steam Team’s Professional Process

When you’ve called in The Steam Team for a professional rug cleaning, our technicians will begin by inspecting the rug for any particularly troubled areas, and then determine the best cleaning process for your specific type of rug. Next, all debris and dirt will be removed from the rug. The whole rug will then be sprayed with a preconditioning agent and shampooed with powerful area rug cleaning agents. Any contaminants still on the rug, along with the cleaning agents, will then be rinsed off. Our technicians will then gently lay the fibers of the rug evenly to promote proper drying.

Final Steps and Inspection

To ensure that your rug is completely dried and has been cleaned properly without missing any stains or dirt, it will be placed in a special controlled atmosphere drying room, before undergoing a thorough inspection. Once our technicians and you are satisfied with the fully cleaned and dried rug, the fringes will be combed using specialized tools to brighten them to their original color, and then our technicians will leave you with your newly restored rug.

How Often Should You Clean Drapery and Carpets?

Best Carpet Cleaning Austin

It’s easy to forget about curtains and blinds when you’re cleaning the house, but window treatments can get just as dusty and dirty as your furniture or carpets!

How often you clean your window treatments depends on how quickly you notice your house gets dirty in general, right? Here are some expert tips on knowing how often to clean your drapes.

Gauge how often you clean your drapery by how often you need to clean the rest of your house.  

If you are able to get away with a good top-to-bottom cleaning once a month, then there’s no reason to make the time to clean your drapery more often than that. If your household requires a good cleaning once a week, then tend to your drapery more frequently along with everything else. Carpet cleaning should be done regularly. 

Use the right cleaning method to avoid damaging your drapery and keep them cleaner, longer.

If the curtains are a delicate material or sheer, usually a good shake will do the job (but do this before you vacuum and mop the floors, of course!). Be sure to dust along the top of the curtains and curtain rod, too, using a duster or the nozzle attachment on your vacuum cleaner.

For heavier-weight curtains, be sure to check the care instructions. Machine-washable drapery can be steam cleaned, saving you the time and hassle involved in removing the curtains and washing and ironing them. Plus, calling in the professionals will take the entire task right off your hands!

Here at The Steam Team, we specialize in steam cleaning upholstery, flooring, and yes -- even window treatments or carpet cleaning. If you haven’t paid attention to your curtains recently, now’s the time! Give us a call today.
