Our Process for Area Rug Cleaning in Hanahan, SC
At Citrus Fresh Carpet Cleaning, we clean your valuable area rugs in our local state-of-the-art facility. For your convenience, you have the option of scheduling a pickup or delivery service. Alternatively, you can bring your area rug to us and drop it off at our cleaning location. Because every area rug we clean is a little different, no two cleaning applications will be exactly the same. However, the typical cleaning process for an area rug is as follows:
Pre-Inspection and Check In
We begin with measuring and cataloging to provide both accurate pricing and a way to track each rug throughout the cleaning process. We then thoroughly inspect the rug for fiber content, construction, dye stability and any preexisting concerns. We record this information in a detailed report with photographs. Our company will come to your home to pick up your rug, or you may drop it by our shop.
Dry Soil Removal
The vital first step to quality cleaning is dusting. Our state-of-the-art automatic rug dusting machine is specially designed to safely remove hidden embedded dust, sand and soil from the base of the face fibers. It is not unusual for a woven rug to release 2-5 lbs. of this dry material, which if not removed, can cause long term damage.
Area Rug Washing
Before the wash process has started, your rug is tested for dye stability and treated accordingly with a dye stabilizer to minimize any bleeding of the dyes. The rug is now ready to be fully washed on our clean and graded wash floor. The pre-inspection determines the appropriate techniques and products to be used for effective and safe cleaning.
Rinse & Water Removal
Once the rug has undergone its complete wash, it is time to rinse it. Using clean water and a specially designed squeegee. Followed by running the rug through one of the most successful rug-wringers in the world! Not only provides another level of rinsing, but flushes out any extra urine and other contaminants in the rug. It removes over 90% of moisture from rugs in 3 minutes or less. When the rug emerges, it is completely rinsed and merely damp.
Fringe Cleaning
All fringe detail will take place in the finishing stage. Fringe will be extracted, groomed and treated accordingly.
Drying
Rug are hung to finish the drying process. They are enclosed inside our dying tower rack with powerful air movers and dehumidifiers in drying each rug quickly as possible.
Grooming / Delivery
Once fully dried, the rug will be vacuumed and groomed. The pile will be set and it will receive a final post inspection. The rug then will be rolled, nicely wrapped and placed in our clean room to await pick-up or delivery.
Benefits of Professional Area Rug Cleaning
Whether you're on a budget or you have an abundance of free time, you may be thinking about DIY area rug cleaning in Hanahan, SC.

What About In-Home Area Rug Cleaning in Hanahan, SC?
At Citrus Fresh Carpet & Rug Cleaning, we offer several carpet cleaning services to our customers. While we're happy to come to your home to clean the synthetic carpets you walk on every day, we must take a special approach with area rugs. The bottom line is that to clean your area rug properly, we must do so in our fully-equipped cleaning facility. We can't travel to your home with the equipment needed to thoroughly clean area rugs that are wool, handmade, silk, etc.
There are many reasons why an area rug must be removed from a home or office to be properly cleaned. Here are three of the most important:
Dust
Most in-home carpet cleaning does not incorporate dusting with synthetic carpets. But with area rugs, dusting is non-negotiable. Area rugs, especially of the wool variety, can hold pounds of dust, mites, dead skin, and other yucky debris. To remove this debris, dust and soil must be removed from the foundation of your rug's fibers. To do this, heavy equipment, a clean facility, and a professional's touch are needed.
Improper Rinsing
Standard in-home carpet rinsing often involves a fiber rinse that can leave residue on high-end area rugs. This residue can lead to fading and yellowing. By bringing your area rugs to our cleaning facility, our team can rinse your area rug more thoroughly. That way, we can release trapped dirt that is trapped in the wefts and warps of your Oriental rug. We can then place your area rug in our wash pit for additional rinsing, using water to flush through your rug from back to front. We then use a specialized squeegee to remove any remaining soil remnants until the water we use runs clear out of your rug.
Knowledge
Your average in-home carpet cleaner will clean your carpet the best way they can with the information they have. As such, they may treat your area rug like it is a piece of carpet. Unfortunately, that can have disastrous effects on your prized area rug.
However, highly-trained area rug specialists have unique knowledge that in-home carpet cleaners aren't required to know. As mentioned above, they also have the specific equipment and building space needed to completely clean an area rug. The owners of Citrus Fresh Carpet & Rug Cleaning were trained to clean Oriental and area rugs by world-renowned expert Lisa Wagner, earning the title "Textile Pro Certified."
Area Rug Pads from Citrus Fresh Carpet & Rug Cleaning Services
In addition to personalized area rug cleaning in Hanahan, SC, we offer custom-cut area rug pads to fit your area rugs like a glove. Our rug pads act like an insurance policy for high-quality area rugs, even if they're made of materials like wool or cotton. Unlike other rug pads, however, our pads have the ability to soak up unwanted spills.
Most rug pads allow liquids to pass right through them. When this happens, the fluid is trapped between the rug pad and your floor - an incredibly damaging circumstance for your flooring and its finish. Can you imagine what a pool of red wine would do if left to fester underneath your favorite area rug? You could be looking at thousands of dollars of damage.
With rug pads from Citrus Fresh, liquids are moved away from the rug by the absorbent top layer of the padding and are held in place by the rug pad. The pad, which is designed with a moisture barrier, does not allow the spill to reach your flooring. This innovative design doesn't just protect your floors - it protects your area rug better too. As if that weren't enough, the closed-cell technology of these pads helps provide a barrier to pet urine!
We sell Rug Pads - and will custom cut to fit your rugs!
Additional benefits of area rug pads from Citrus Fresh include:
- The Eco Preferred or Eco Value is a Green Label Certified Environmentally Safe Product
- The only "GO GREEN" felt pad on the market.
- Green Label Plus Certified

HANAHAN, S.C. (WCSC) - The City of Hanahan is continuing to work towards bringing enhancements to two of its parks for the community to enjoy.
Those two parks are Hawks Nest Park and Steward Street Park.
City officials' plan for Hawks Nest Park features covered pickleball courts, stadium-like bleachers for their turf field that will seat more than 500 people and enhancements to the dog park.
At Steward Street Park, the additions include a kayak launch, ramp, floating dock, boardwalk, trails, a pavilion and a playground with inclusive play spaces for children with disabilities.
Officials say the city invested $15 million to update and finish both parks and that there was a referendum years ago where over 75 percent of voters voted yes to adding both parks.
The city has also secured $1,150,000 in state funding to go toward both parks. Officials say they have also received funds through different partnerships.
Hanahan Mayor Christie Rainwater says that the city was eager to begin working as soon as the funding became available. However, she says the initial bid cost for the pickleball courts at Hawks Nest Park was higher than they anticipated.
“We want to get the best courts, but also for the best deal and steward that taxpayer money well,” Rainwater says. “We are in the process of having that out to bid, so we’re gathering the financials on that and going to be able to pick a company and go with them and have them in the park sooner than later.”
One Hanahan High School student, Conner Requidan, says he uses Hawks Nest Park often to spend time with his friends. The pickleball courts would be a big upgrade for them since they currently use other areas at the park to play the game.
“I play pickleball out there on the tennis courts, but a nice court, an actual court would be nice. It would also bring in a lot more people who want to play pickleball. I think it would be a good addition,” Requidan says.
Another Hanahan High School student and park user, Stephan Slaughter, believes that the courts would bring in a strong sense of community.
“Pickleball is like a big sport that everybody in our city plays, so I feel like it’s really going to bring the community together and get everybody to come over here, schedule times and come play with friends, family, stuff like that,” Slaughter says. “I just think it’s going to be a great booster for the community, so everyone can come out at the same time and just enjoy doing the things that they love to do.”
For the bleachers at Hawks Nest Park, the city is currently in the approval process, with the plans being reviewed by an engineering firm. Once approved, officials say that the bleachers will take about 5 weeks to install.
Rainwater emphasized that these bleachers are crucial, saying that schools, organizations and community members all use the turf field, yet spectators currently don’t have a place to sit.
“We now have the funding to put in bleachers and so those are on order, they are due to arrive this spring, and so now when families are cheering on their kids or their other loved ones they can do so sitting or standing from the bleachers that will be delivered soon,” Rainwater says.
The dog park area at Hawks Nest Park will receive shade structures, benches and lighting, creating a more enjoyable space for pets and their owners. Officials say they will begin installing the lighting soon and are just waiting for the materials to arrive for the shade structures.
Rainwater says that for Hawks Nest Park they are hoping to have the bleachers in by this spring and the pickleball courts within a year.
Officials say that the pavilion and restrooms at Steward Street Park are almost complete and they plan to hold a ribbon cutting for the park on April 4th.
