Experience the Gentle Power of Clean with Air Dusting—Your Rug's Best Friend!

Our professional pre-inspection goes above and beyond what you may have experienced with other cleaning services. Unlike standard evaluations, we take the time to conduct a detailed and thorough examination of your rug, carefully assessing its condition from both the top and bottom surfaces. This meticulous process allows us to identify any issues, such as hidden stains, wear patterns, or structural concerns that may not be immediately visible. By leaving no detail overlooked, we can develop a precise and customized cleaning strategy tailored to your rug's specific needs, ensuring the best possible care and results.

Our ultraviolet light source precisely identifies hidden contaminants such as urine, mold, and mildew, which often remain undetected by the naked eye. Once identified, we then implement specific oriental rug washing techniques that are meticulously tailored to the rug's unique fibers, dyes, soil composition, and construction. This bespoke approach ensures not only optimal cleaning but also the careful preservation of your rug's integrity and value.

Should we detect any worn, frayed, or otherwise weak areas during our initial inspection, we will meticulously block them off to safeguard these vulnerable sections from any additional stress. We then proceed with specialized, gentle cleaning techniques specifically designed for delicate textiles. This careful approach prevents potential rips or tears, guaranteeing the structural integrity and long-term preservation of your cherished rug.

1/2 was dusted with our patented air tools.
This is why it's so important to have Airloom wash your rugs.

Air Dusting is a foundational process within our rug washing methodology. This essential step systematically removes deeply embedded dirt that other cleaning methods often miss. The Airloom Rug Washing method, incorporating Air Dusting, consistently demonstrates the significant volume of everyday soil collected in rugs, regardless of rigorous home maintenance.

Even after "professional" extraction or surface cleaning, a significant amount of dust often remains. Clients are consistently surprised by the volume of soil our patented Air Dusting tool extracts from rugs they believed to be clean.

History shows that rug production created the bigger need for dusting services in the United States.

The American carpet and rug manufacturing industry did not get under way until protective tariffs were imposed on foreign imports in the 1820s.

These laws increased the tax per yard on British textiles, making American manufacturing economically possible.

Soon after, the invention of the steam-operated loom in 1839 revolutionized the carpet and rug industry, making domestic carpet easily affordable.

With that, there was a growing trend to furnish homes and places of business with carpet and/or rugs. It would not be long before the dusting method would be automated.

Service companies were created to handle the need. Wall-to-wall tacked-down carpet went through an in-plant service provider for such a process. All kinds of inventions were appearing.

On June 5, 1869, Ives W. McGaffey obtained a patent on the first hand-pumped vacuum in the United States.

At the beginning of the 20th century, devices were made using fan motors that led to the portable electric vacuum cleaner. The Electric Suction Sweeper Co. emerged with a patented device in 1908.

The founder’s cousin, William Hoover, was one of the first buyers. He went on to become the president of the Hoover Company.

Melville and Anna Bissell did not like the dust in their crockery shop in Grand Rapids, MI, so they created what evolved into the Bissell Carpet Sweeper.

Even before the foregoing, a wood and canvas contraption, known as the Whirlwind, came to birth in Chicago.

The foregoing in no way is a comprehensive history on rug care, but shows that dusting rugs or carpet took various paths to today’s modern technology.
