A rug over a timber floor is a common sight in Brisbane, from lounge rooms in old Queenslanders to bedrooms in riverside units. Rugs trap dust and skin flakes on the face and underneath, and thick or shaggy piles hold even more. We book rug dust mite treatment with a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew checks the rug label and fibre before choosing a method. Wool and synthetic rugs usually take steam well. Shag rugs need more vacuum time to reach the base of the pile. Silk, viscose and hand-knotted rugs can be damaged by heat and water, so the crew may suggest a vacuum-only treatment instead and explains why.
- Rug lifted where possible so the floor underneath can be vacuumed
- Vacuum pass on the back of the rug to shake out fine dust
- High-heat steam or extraction worked through the face pile
- Fringes and edges treated by hand
- Rug laid out or raised on blocks to dry
Rugs often dry faster than wall-to-wall carpet because air can reach both sides. On a dry day, a smaller rug can go out on a verandah rail or clothes line. A large lounge rug stays inside with a fan running and the windows open. The crew gives you a rough drying time before they pack up.
Treatment lowers the build-up in a rug but does not remove every mite. Shaking or vacuuming the back of smaller rugs now and then helps between visits. Call 07 3543 2097 to book rug treatment on its own or with other rooms, and we will set up a crew that covers Brisbane.
