Case Study

When a Wash
Isn't Enough.

Some rugs don't need cleaning — they need scientific intervention. This is a full documentation of one of the most complex restorations we've performed: five stages, four protocols, and a result that speaks for itself.

High-End Wool Rug · Urine Contamination · Full Restoration
Stage 01 Mechanical
Preparation & Dry Soil Removal

Pre-wash inspection mapped every urine track line and structural weak point. Harmonic dusting removed concentrated dry sediment before any water was introduced. Fringe was banded for protection. Compressed air extracted pet hair embedded deep in the foundation.

Stage 02 Chemical
The Dwell Bag Decontamination

The rug was sealed in a Dwell Bag with 50 gallons of water to dissolve urine salts crystallized deep in the fiber. The water turned the color of pure urine — visual proof the rug had become a concentrated reservoir.

Key insight: Even when the liquid is gone, urine salts remain crystallized in the foundation. Standard washing moves them — the Dwell Bag dissolves them entirely.
Stage 03 Mechanical
Agitation, Flushing & Extraction

Orbital washing with rotary brushes broke up remaining surface tension. Reverse power washing pushed contamination out through the front. The centrifuge then extracted 95% of dissolved waste — in minutes, not days.

Stage 04 Proprietary
The UV & Peroxide Protocol

A peroxide-based blend was applied to residual staining. UV lights activated the chemistry over 24–48 hours — with automated misting every 45 minutes to sustain the reaction. Result: 70–90% stain elimination on what washing alone couldn't reach.

Why this matters: UV-activated chemistry works at the molecular level — breaking down chromophores that standard cleaning leaves untouched.
Stage 05 Finishing
Final Detailing & Grooming

Pile conditioning restored the wool's natural softness. Hand brushing while hanging set the nap direction. Sprout trimming and corner repair completed the transformation — from contaminated to exhibition-ready.
