How The Steam Team Elevates Rug Care at Its Austin Facility

A Closer Look at the In-Plant Washing Process

A Closer Look at the In-Plant Washing Process

Bringing a rug into a controlled facility rather than cleaning it in place unlocks a fundamentally different level of thoroughness. At our Austin plant, rugs undergo full submersion washing in specialized baths, systematic agitation to release deeply embedded soils, and multi-stage rinsing that flushes contaminants completely from the pile and foundation. A dedicated dusting station using soft-bristle mechanical equipment removes dry particulate matter before any moisture is introduced, protecting both the fibers and the wash water. Each piece then moves into a temperature-regulated drying room where consistent airflow prevents mildew and preserves pile structure. Prior to any step involving water, our technicians evaluate fiber composition, dye fastness, and overall structural condition to customize the process — ensuring colors remain vivid, dimensions stay true, and the rug's original character is fully preserved when it returns to your floor.
Expert Repair and Restoration for Damaged and Aged Rugs

Expert Repair and Restoration for Damaged and Aged Rugs

A well-made rug represents a significant financial and sentimental investment, yet even the finest pieces are vulnerable to fraying edges, unraveling fringes, moth damage, pet wear, and structural deterioration caused by years of use. The Steam Team's restoration craftspeople are trained in the hand techniques required to address each of these issues faithfully. We reweave compromised areas, restabilize foundation warps and wefts in knotted constructions, reattach or replace fringe, and patch sections where pile has been lost entirely. Color rehabilitation is also available for sections that have faded or been stained, with careful dye-matching performed against the rug's original tones. For those seeking Austin deep rug cleaning services alongside hands-on structural repair, our facility handles every stage under one roof — eliminating the need to coordinate multiple vendors and ensuring a cohesive, lasting result.

Frequently Asked Questions

In-plant washing provides full submersion, multi-stage rinsing, and controlled drying conditions that on-site portable equipment cannot replicate. This approach removes deeply lodged soils, allergens, bacteria, and persistent odors far more completely, which prolongs the life of your rug and maintains its appearance over time.

We work with Persian, Oriental, Turkish, silk, wool, synthetic, flatwoven, tufted, and hand-knotted rugs of all sizes. Every piece receives an individual intake assessment so that wash methods, water temperature, and any necessary repair techniques are matched precisely to the rug's fiber content and construction.

The majority of rugs are completed and ready for return within three to five business days. Turnaround time varies based on the rug's size, soil load, and whether repair work is needed. We provide an estimated timeline at intake so you always have a clear expectation of when your rug will be ready.

Yes. Our restoration specialists handle fringe repair and replacement, edge stabilization, moth damage patching, tear repair, and foundation reconstruction by hand. Materials and techniques are carefully matched to each rug's original construction so that repairs are durable and visually seamless.
