Rug Type: Modern printed area rug (wool blend, large rectangular, blue/ivory medallion pattern with floral borders)

The Area Rug Cleaning Challenge:

Years of Pacific Northwest foot traffic, pet activity, mud tracked in from rainy days, and general household soiling had left the rug dull, matted, and embedded with deep dirt. The vibrant blue tones were muted, and the intricate medallion design was barely visible under layers of grime and allergens.

The Area Rug Cleaning Solution:

The Ridgefield family scheduled free pickup with Benchmark Restoration & Cleaning. Our technician collected the rug from their home, transported it to our dedicated Area Rug Cleaning Center in Vancouver, WA (11419 NE 126th St Suite 116), and processed it through our exclusive 8-step eco-friendly BioCare™ process:
