00:00This extremely dirty rug hasn't been cleaned in six long years.
00:07That's right, six years of dust, dirt, and forgotten spills.
00:14The cleaning journey begins with an inspection of the rug,
00:17which is a crucial step in choosing the right cleaning method.
00:26The hardened mud has become one with the fibers of the rug.
00:29This is why water was applied first.
00:37As the layers of mud start to get washed off, the red color of the rug is starting to appear.
00:48Bringing in the secret weapon, the special solution that will help with all the dirt.
00:54Not leaving a single inch without covering it in water.
01:02Applying a specially formulated detergent to the rug.
01:05This one will leave a fresh and clean scent to it.
01:08Here comes the deep cleaning machine that sucks up all the dirt.
01:21Cleaning it thoroughly, and as you can see, a lot of dirty water is coming out of the rug.
01:26This process requires more than one round for the true colors of the rug to start appearing.
01:39Scraping off the dirt with the help of a shovel scraper.
01:44Another round of removing water from the rug.
01:52This tool is dragged down the rug in a smooth motion which forces the water out.

02:06This one can wash away the dirt and grime that has been built up for six years.

02:24Using a more special solution until the water coming out of the rug is totally clean.
02:29Going back to the deep cleaning machine, which cleans a rug more quickly.
02:41But why the circular motion you may ask?
02:44Well, it's all about the thorough cleaning.
02:46It allows the fibers to fluff up.
02:52This technique brings the fresh look and allows for the true red color to emerge from beneath.
02:59Back to removing the dirty water around the rug as well.
03:15Using a water pressure to remove all the dirt that was stuck under the rug.
03:25Flipping the rug over to clean the other side too.
03:29Just like the top side, the underside of the rug has accumulated lots of debris.
03:38It's something only the deep cleaning machine can help while ensuring no part of the rug is left uncleaned.
03:46Scraping off the dirt and using water pressure to remove any unwanted parts that have managed to sneak their way from the top.
