Rug Cleaning Miracle

Almost 30 years ago I hired Lane Blank to decorate our house when we put an addition on it. She became a great friend in the process and has remained so.

She always recommended products of the highest quality and they have all held up all these years. When we decorated the guest room and the nursery she picked out a wool carpet for each room.

The guest room was a light colored back ground, but since it was the guest room we thought it would get the least use. The nursery got a blue rug. Over the years the nursery went from having Carter get sick on the rug to having that room turn into Russ’ home office and get things spilled on it. The guest room got more use than we thought as that became the room Russ would go to when he woke up in the middle of the night as he does every night.

For 30 years we only ever vacuumed the carpets. They had gotten stained and discolored. I had no idea if they would ever be presentable again. Three weeks ago I called Mike at Fargo Hanna. I asked him if they might try and clean these rugs. A couple of days later two men showed up at my house and rolled them up and took them away. Not an easy job with all the furniture on them.

Today they returned them. I also ordered new pads for them which they cut and rolled onto the rugs so that when they placed them back in the rooms and unrolled them the pads was in the perfect position.

I could not believe my eyes. They were like new rugs, especially the blue one that had the stains from lots of baby and childhood events. I could not find where the stains had been.

It’s a great lesson to buy good quality to start. The second lesson is don’t wait 30 years to have a rug cleaned, especially if it can be picked up and taken away by Fargo Hanna and have them clean it.
