D E S I G N + B U I L D Questions to ask when choosing a Rug Cleaner Choosing the right company to care for your fine oriental and specialty area rugs is very important. Here are four questions to ask before choosing a professional area rug cleaning company: Where are my rugs being cleaned? When choosing a professional rug cleaning company, ask if it is possible to come and tour the location where they clean the rugs. If a company is operating locally with the proper equipment and with an actual location, you should be able to visit during normal business hours. When you choose The Rug Salon, your rugs are cleaned here in the Coachella Valley in our state-of-the-art rug washing facility. What are your certifications? Ask who they hold their certifications through and ask to see the certificates. Verify they have the training and are a part of an organization that holds their members to ethics and continuing education.

Our company performs a thorough inspection, and we take pictures of each rug that comes in to determine the best cleaning procedure for each rug. Your rugs will receive individual attention depending on their fiber type, construction type and the condition of the rug. Each rug is individually washed and cleaned using Wool Safe procedures. Are you properly insured to take my rug out of my home for cleaning? Most carpet cleaning companies that advertise that they clean area rugs do not have a rug cleaning facility, nor do they carry the proper insurance to do so. These companies also do not carry the same insurance that a rug cleaning company must carry.
