Yeatts Rug Plant remains at the top.

Expert fine fabric and rug cleaning requires years of training, constant education, and a willingness to adopt to new fabric cleaning methods. Equipment upgrades throughout the last decade have been tremendous. However, the technician using the equipment has to read the operator’s manual and comprehend all the applications, maintenance, and parts of the equipment. Then the technician would become more proficient in cleaning fabrics and rugs as a result of on-the-job training. If the company owner refuses to pursue new fabric cleaning methods using new or improved equipment, cleaning solutions, and training employees of these enhancements, then repeat business slowly fades away.

Vacuum cleaning and maintenance tips.

Vacuuming carpets and rugs lifts sand and harder, tiny debris that actually cut into the fibers once weight from an individual turns or walks onto the surface pile.
