Let Us Remove Rug Odors

Fresh, Clean Rugs Without the Stubborn Smells

Many of you have owned a certain rug for a certain amount of time and have a busy household. Unless it is so valuable that it’s in a rarely visited room or hung on the wall as a work of art, you’re going to notice off-putting smells eventually. Food and drinks are inevitably spilled, dirt is brought in from outside, and pets have accidents. And not only do pets have accidents, but they also tend to return to the same spot. If there’s a smoker in your home, the odor of smoke gets into your rug as well. Even a gently used rug can develop the smell of age. The smell continues even after you vacuum or shampoo your rug. Fortunately, our experienced professionals at Aegis Fine Rug Cleaning know just how to restore your rug’s fresh, clean smell.

Another Thing to Know About Rug Odors

One thing to know about bad rug odors is that it is very important to have them removed as soon as you can. Some substances, such as pet urine, can not only make the rug smell bad but can actually damage its fibers and the dyes that give it its brilliant colors. The risk of this is especially acute when your rug contains silk or wool.

We Hand-Clean Rugs to Get the Odors Out

Unlike other rug and carpet cleaning businesses, we pride ourselves on hand washing your rugs to get the odors out. Since rugs are made of different fabrics, they need different treatments to remove offensive odors once and for all. Here at Aegis Fine Rug Cleaning, each rug gets individual care from us. Along with hand washing, we also avoid harsh chemicals that can further damage your rug. Regular carpet shampoo contains an array of chemicals that range from baking soda to silicates, bleach, ammonia and certain enzymes. Some of these chemicals can be harsh. In addition, some can impart their own astringent smells to your rug.

Our cleaning formula for rug odor removal also contains ingredients to not only remove odors but to also make sure that your rug holds on to its jewel-like colors. Some chemicals cause the dyes in your rug to bleed into each other, which could ruin it. Since fine rugs can cost thousands of dollars, it is important to us to make sure this doesn’t happen as we remove odors. Our rug smell treatment also makes sure that any damage to your rug’s delicate fibers caused by noisome spills is minimal.
