Hand Washing Fine Rugs and Rug Sanitization

With the Coronavirus in the news and confirmed cases spreading day by day, you may be concerned about the cleanliness of your home. Furniture and rugs can be breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, and other germs.

Did you know thousands of germs and bacteria inhabit the average square inch of your rug? Often these organisms are less than harmless. You can’t exactly pour hand sanitizer all over your precious rugs, so what can you do?

Have your rugs professionally cleaned and sanitized.

Rugs retain dander from pets and humans, as well as dirt, odors, and germs. Sanitizing your rugs is one way to feel a bit safer, especially if guests frequently visit your home. A clean and sanitized rug will also improve your home’s air quality, letting you breathe easier.

Your home should be a place where you are at lower risk for exposure to germs, and a sanitized rug is one way to improve the cleanliness of your environment. If you plan on working from home in the future, clean rugs are a necessity.

While Behnam Rugs never uses harsh chemicals on your rugs, we do thoroughly hand wash them many times. Our methods are more effective at removing dirt, dander, and bacteria because they are more thorough. We never use machines to protect your rug from mechanized harm.

Our technicians use paddles to massage the front and back of your rug and loosen any particulates. The front and back are then washed three times each at a minimum. Every rug is rinsed with non-recycled Dallas drinking water. Organic shampoos rinse away built up germs, while enzymes cut through pet odors. You are left with a rug that looks and smells much better than before.

While it is impossible to guarantee your rug is free from bacteria and viruses, the majority of them should be gone.

You can rest easy knowing your rug is no longer a breeding ground for dangerous germs and is unlikely to still be home to the thriving bacterial ecosystem it was before.

In addition, Behnam Rugs is enacting stricter delivery procedures for those that need their freshly sanitized rugs delivered. Our technicians wear masks, gloves, and foot coverings to minimize the risk of exposure. For those visiting our Dallas showroom, please note that all staff are required to wash their hands every hour at a minimum. Call 972-733-0400 to schedule cleaning.
