Murphy’s Area Rug Cleaning Process
Without boring you with our chemical formulas (non-toxic and bio-degradable) or our specific washing techniques that were learned and passed on through generations, we can provide you with a description of our general washing process used in area rug cleaning. Read more below, and feel free to contact ours staff for any information you need.
Rugs are pre-inspected for any possible problems that may arise while cleaning such as dye runs, insect pests, urine, etc.
Rugs are thoroughly 'dusted' to remove dry particulate soil.
Dyes are stabilized for washing.
The rug is scrubbed with a gentle detergent to loosen soils and oils.
Spots are addressed.
Fringes are treated and then rinsed thoroughly.
The rug is placed in our state-of-the-art Moore rug dusting machine for a thorough, deep-clean process.
The water is wrung out through 16' rollers.
The rug is then brushed to set the pile in the appropriate direction.
The rug is then dried in a temperature-controlled drying room.
After they are completely dry, the rugs are then inspected. If they do not pass inspection, they are washed again at no additional charge.
Rug Cleaning Information
Our normal 'turn-around' time for our area rug cleaning is approximately 3 to 7 business days. This varies depending on the soil level, the fiber type and the type of cleaning process. If there is a need to have your rug(s) back sooner, please make us aware of this and we will do our best to accommodate your time schedule by placing a rush order tag on the rug for you for an additional charge.

Hand-made, Persian and Oriental rugs are delicate items, especially as they age. With that in mind, it’s important for great care to be taken when transporting it for cleaning. That’s why we offer pick-up and delivery services to ensure that nothing happens to your rug when it’s being transported.
