Aren’t All Fine Rug Cleaning Companies the Same?

Choosing the Right Rug Cleaning Company Can Make All the Difference!

Consumers know that they have choices, even when looking for a company to clean Oriental rugs in Austin. But for a lot of services and products, things seem interchangeable. What’s the difference between going with one rug cleaning company over the other? They’re both in the cleaning business. They both know what they’re doing.

Right?

The truth is, not all rug cleaning companies are the same, and it is important to choose one that does not cut corners. Our cleaning process is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your rug is carefully inspected for its color stability, construction, condition and more. Using those factors, we design a cleaning process and solution that are customized specifically for your rug. On the other hand, many commercial cleaners and franchises use the same industrial types of products on all rugs and carpets, fine or otherwise. We address the individual components of the rugs to ensure that they are thoroughly and safely cleaned. 

After our hand-cleaning process, we gently rinse the rug with cold soft water to wash away every bit of residue. We do not use automated machines. Not only can machines damage the rug, but they often only clean the surface of a rug. Cleaning by hand ensures that your rug is deeply cleaned, and all allergens, dirt and debris are removed. Then, in a low-humidity room, we gently dry your rugs on a cushion of air. We never hang rugs to dry which can distort their shape and colors.

When it comes right down to it, we offer a service that seeks to protect and preserve your investment. We don’t just want to do the job, we want it done right for the satisfaction of each client. That’s what makes Aegis different, and that’s why you should trust us with your fine rug cleaning. Questions? Want to schedule a clean? Call us today! (512) 327-1900. You’ll never want your rugs cleaned by another company again!
