Dusty grew up in the "in-home" Carpet cleaning business and
transitioned his family business to hand cleaning and 'in-studio"
cleaning of wool and area rugs in the 90's. Dusty is one of the most
qualified rug cleaners I know in the industry and is a graduate of the
Master rug cleaning Program in Dallas TX, completed the rug program
with the RIA and has attended the Rug Cleaning Technician program with
the IICRC. He is also a frequent guest speaker at many rug related
events around the world and loves to teach people in the industry how
to build successful rug care business's
Dusty has all methods of rug cleaning at his finger tips from full
immersion washing to complete dry cleaning with no chemicals. He custom
match's rugs to the safest and most effective process for the
individual rug and never cleans in a tub or machine with other rugs
where cross contamination or colour bleeding can occur. All rugs are
cleaned with fresh and clean water and cleaning solutions.
I highly recommend that you check out Dusty's office Manager, "RugLover
Mary's" blog, she always has great advice for here readers and is a
wonderful person that I have had the pleasure of meeting personally
when I visited her hometown in Canada! http://ruglovermary.blogspot.com/2010/04/do-you-run-to-auction-online-or-run.html
