At Agra we take pride in our cleaning process & our dedication to quality is unmatched by the competition.  

 

All of our work is:

·         Preformed in our modern indoor facility

Why is Hand Washing Better?

It prevents residue buildup and safely cleans without causing color bleed, shrinkage and other problems commonly experienced with other methods.  Please stay away from any company that illustrates they process your valuable rugs  by large machine or by submersing it into a "Rug Bath". Not only to these methods mix your rug with the elements (ursine, dirt, etc.) you are trying to remove, but can cause costly damages. 

 

Agra's Drying Process:

 

Our drying process consists of 2 key components: 1st they are placed onto beams, then raised off the floor with fans constantly moving air over the front & backside to allow the rugs to dry quickly & most importantly prevent any mold, mildew or odor related to such from occurring. We Never use heat, such as a "heated drying room" as this over dry’s the materials & can cause dry rot, allowing the fibers to become increasingly more susceptible to the equivalent of a rugs "split ends"( like in the case with damaged hair) , also heat draws out all of the oils so important to extending the rugs look, feel & wear. 

 

Agra's Treatment Options:

 

After cleaning & drying, each piece is meticulously inspected. Only after they have meet our xxxx standards do your rugs get prepped for the most important step in the cleaning process....

 

At Agra our treatment replenishes the natural lanolin & oils that exist in wool & silk.  These oils increase the luster, softness & patina of your piece, but most importantly for longevity of your rug. It also provides a natural soil & stain retardant that will prevent future staining & permanent soiling as you continue to use your rug.  Just as sheep skins emits these lanolin & oils, we re-apply them & allow the wool or silk to absorb them as needed to provide this very important level or protection & aesthetic to keep your rugs looking, feeling & wearing their best over many many years!  

 

In the case if synthetic rugs, we use naturally made & mixed Protestants to Serve the same purpose.
