Rug Dusting Services in Cincinnati & Aberdeen, OH
Did you know an 8 X 10 wool area rug can hold approximately 75 pounds of “dust” before appearing dirty? This “dust” is unhealthy for your Oriental rug and your family. Alas, common rug materials such as wool or silk create the perfect conditions for allergens, dust mites, bed bugs, and bacteria to thrive. Because this “dust” is abrasive to the fibers of your area rug and can lead to traffic lanes, you will need rug dusting services to prevent any degradation of face fibers in your fine textile.
Fortunately, Teasdale Rug Cleaning provides thorough rug dusting services for both commercial and residential customers in Aberdeen, Bellevue, Cincinnati, Erlanger, Decatur, and other cities throughout our Cincinnati service area.

Contact UsWhat Contaminants & Allergens are Common in Rug Dust?
The “dust” removed by rug dusting can include a mixture of many things most commonly:
- Allergens
- Dirt/Soil/Sand
- Dead Skin Cells
- Worn Rug Fibers
- Food Particles
- Pet Dander
- Moth and Carpet Beetle Larvae
Allergens and pollens embed themselves deep into your rug are continually released with each step you take. Rug dust also includes dead skin cells and dust mites. It is the same principle as when your mattress doubles in weight over time from dead skin cells. However, we can remove them from your rugs. We can also remove pet dander, fleas, and mites that are known irritants.
Why Vacuuming is not Enough
Vacuums work great on the loose weave of your carpet and are great for maintaining the health of your rug, but even the strongest vacuums are ineffective at removing soils deep in the tight weave of Oriental and other specialty area rugs.
Whether you have a handmade Persian rug or a machine-made Chinese rug; vacuuming will only remove the debris that is on the surface. Frequent vacuuming is an all-important part of keeping your rug looking great, but every rug needs a good dusting and professional cleaning every 2 years to keep it not only looking clean but actually being clean.
Damage by Soil & Debris
Each step you make on a rug full of dust can do irreparable damage to the core construction of your rug. Dirt and soils are abrasive and break down the fibers. Frequently, this causes some fading from the wear on the pile. This will not even be evident until after the professional rug cleaning process.
Our Time-Tested Rug Dusting Process by Teasdale Rug Cleaning
Years ago, our grandmothers would hang their area rugs over a clothesline or fence and beat the contaminants out of them with a broom. This process was typically performed after the rugs had been vacuumed and you’d be amazed how much dust, dirt, and debris can be knocked out of a freshly vacuumed rug. Fast forward to today and technology allows us to supercharge the “dusting” process.
At Teasdale Rug Cleaning, our dusting process begins with a thoroughly exhaustive vacuuming of both sides of the area rug with a powerful commercial vacuum cleaner with beater bars and brushes attached. Once both sides of the rug have been vacuumed in two directions, we place the rug face down on a grid and use a specialized badger dusting machine that provides 40,000 harmonic vibrations per minute. This vibrating action dislodges deep-set soil, sand, dander, and other contaminants.
We offer rug dusting as a stand-alone service for clients to remove dust & soil between professional cleanings. This rug dusting process will not rid of spots, stains, or odors, but it will eliminate contaminants.
