Captain Rug Wash was first spotted flying over the windy roads of Dartmoor. Although new evidence has come to light over the years that he has been spotted as far west as Penzance and as far east as Bristol. Spotted in the early part of 2009, locals could not understand why he wondered around looking so sad and lost. A couple of brave locals approached him and asked him if he was okay. The only quick reply that came from Captain Rug Wash was that of sadness and fear. The fear was for the future of rugs belonging to local people. Captain Rug Wash was saddened by fine rugs of the Westcountry being poorly cleaned by uneducated, uncaring rug cleaners who were ruining rugs on a daily basis.
Captain Rug Wash told the local men that he had been sent from his homeland, a distant and magical place, a land full of beautiful rugs. A land where all the inhabitants were growing increasingly worried about the poor conditions and truly awful way rugs were being cleaned. He was sent out by his Elders to find a rug cleaner who was cleaning rugs properly, professionaly, passionately and thoroughly. His mission was to find this educated rug cleaner, he was not permitted to return until he had found such a person to work alongside them spreading the good news of the services the company provided.
He was searching the length and breadth of the Westcountry for many years, unsuccessful in his search, he was starting to give up on his mission. But just as he was thinking his sadness could not get any worse upon hearing more and more stories of people's rugs being shrunk and ruined by uneducated cleaners, he was starting to over hear people talking about a rug cleaning company that was doing amazing work cleaning peoples rugs. So off he flew optimistic of what he would find.
Andi hill, founder of Plymouth Rug Cleaning opened up the door to his rug cleaning headquaters one bright, sunny Monday morning almost tripping over this friendly looking fellow in an amazing Superhero suit, the fabric a quality Andi had never seen. A magical and enlightened glow seemed to radiate from him. Captain Rug Wash soon began to tell Andi about the magical land from which he came a land that was full of beautiful hand knotted rugs. Captain Rug Wash also told Andi about his mission, Andi was not overly surprised at the stories of poor cleaning conditions and techniques that rugs were being put through, that Captain Rug Wash had witnessed.
Upon seeing the great work that PlymouthRug Cleaning were doing Captain Rug Wash was soon seen flying around the Westcountry telling anyone who would listen and anyone who wanted their rugs cleaned about a company he was going to send them too. Where their rugs would be given the most amazing Spa treatment clean it had ever had.
If you listen very carefully and look up into the sky you will see Captain Rug Wash flying overhead helping people who have filthy rugs and no idea who they can trust to clean them.
So if you ever see Captain Rug Wash make sure you follow him to Plymouth Rug Cleaning, where your rug will be treated to the most professional clean it has ever had...

Beautiful Dartmoor
It was a lovely bright sunny day on Thursday 1st December, and I was on my way across Dartmoor to a small village. I was on my way to visit a lady who had a small collection of rugs that she wanted me to have a look.
She pre-told Sandra in the office that they had had the rugs for a number of years and that recently they have had some water damage due to a small flood.
So on the way out I knew I had to be aware of dye bleed and maybe some odour worries.
I arrived at the property and was greeted by nine very beautiful rugs drying over some scaffolding. The scaffolding was surrounding a beautiful farm building that was in early stages of renovation. The farm is set in an idyllic area of Dartmoor, surrounded by rolling hills and plenty of wildlife.
There were mostly Persians a couple Kilims and an Indian rug. All very fine pieces of art. and all in a good need of a wash. After being shown the rug that had bleed due to the water damage. I advised my client that I can clean them and although there is a risk of any rug bleeding, I would clean them all without causing any dye migration.
After taking some measurements and giving my client the price I began to load my van up with the rugs.
Once I got back to my rug cleaning facilities I laid all the rugs out on the floor and dried them as quick as possible.
After spending a long time inspecting each rug for dye migration, worn and damaged areas and for odours, I gave all the rugs a though wash.
My RugBadger machine took out an amazing amount of dry soil before cleaning, approximately four sandwich bags full, I then knew that all the soil, pollen, dander and allergens had been gently extracted from the rugs. This is a very important process before cleaning.
On returning the rugs my clients were over the moon with the results. And after showing them the bags of soil, which they were amazed by, I assured them that all the grim and muck had come out. As my clients were planning on storing the rugs until their property is completed. I let them know that the rugs are to be taken out of the protective plastic that I delivered them back in. If rugs are left in the plastic for a long period of time they are likely to sweat and get damp, as the rug will not be able to breathe in the plastic. Then you will start to have mold problems and odor concerns.
I left my clients at their farm, very happy with beautifully clean and restored rugs, ready to be put down on the floor in their newly renovated farm.
