From your front door to our Yatala facility and safely back again. This is the real process, not a quick spray.
Viscose is the fibre most likely to be wrecked by a well-meaning clean
Viscose has the silky sheen of real silk at a fraction of the price, which is why so many Brisbane homeowners own one without realising how fragile it is. It is essentially processed cellulose, closer to paper than wool, so a single splash of plain water can leave a yellow or brown mark the moment it gets wet, the colour shifting in front of you. Then it gets worse: you ring around and cleaner after cleaner says they will not touch viscose, leaving you afraid the rug is already a write-off. It usually is not. The trouble is never that viscose cannot be cleaned, only that it must be cleaned with the right method, the right chemistry and fast, controlled drying, by someone who recognises the fibre on sight.
A carpet cleaner with a van can ruin a fine rug
One-size-fits-all carpet machines are the number one cause of rug damage. Here is exactly what goes wrong.

Specialist care, not a quick spray
Your rug is collected and brought to our dedicated washing facility, where it is hand-assessed and cleaned by fibre, then dried under control. A deep, safe clean that protects the rug you love, backed by 29 years and a 7-day free re-wash guarantee.
Built to protect your rug
Where others turn viscose, rayon and art silk away, we take it on. In 29 years of washing rugs only, never carpets, our IICRC-certified technicians have mastered the fibre, so you finally have somewhere to send the rug nobody else would touch.
Your rug is hand-washed by immersion at our dedicated Yatala facility using a controlled, low-moisture process and gentle, fibre-matched chemistry, the opposite of an uncontrolled home soak or a steam wand run over it in your loungeroom.
Because over-wetting and slow drying are what cause the yellow-brown mark, we manage temperature and airflow to wick moisture away fast and even, so the cellulose dries before it can oxidise and brown.
We inspect and dye-test the fibre, then give you a straight answer on what can and cannot lift before we start. Your rug is fully insured in our care, and we clean with non-toxic products that are safe for pets and children.

Common questions
Can a viscose rug be washed, or will water ruin it?
It can be washed, but only the right way. Viscose loses much of its strength when wet and browns easily, so an uncontrolled soak, a scrub or a steam clean can ruin it, which is why many cleaners refuse it outright. We accept it and use a controlled low-moisture hand-wash with anti-browning chemistry and fast, managed drying, getting a result a DIY attempt or a generic carpet clean cannot.
Why is viscose so hard to clean, and why should I never steam it?
Viscose is processed cellulose, closer to paper than wool, so heat, high moisture and agitation make it swell, brown and lose its sheen. Steam cleaning in the usual sense is one of the worst things you can do to it. We identify the fibre first, then hand-wash by immersion under controlled low moisture with rapid, even drying, never a beater bar. When we use steam it is adjustable, controlled-temperature water, not a hot blast.
There is already a yellow or brown mark after water got on it. Can you fix it?
That mark is cellulosic browning, where the cellulose has oxidised, and it is exactly what we treat. The sooner we see it the better the result, so stop adding any moisture, blot gently, never rub, and call us on 1800 655 949. We assess it first and tell you honestly how much is likely to lift before we begin.
Is it worth paying to clean it, or should I just replace it?
That depends on the rug and the damage, which is why we assess before you commit and quote by size, fibre and condition rather than a flat figure. Many viscose rugs respond well and regain much of their sheen. If a stain or browning cannot be fully removed we tell you straight and explain options like colour restoration, so you make a clear decision instead of throwing good money after bad.
How long will a viscose rug last, and how do I keep it looking right?
Viscose is a delicate, lower-durability fibre, so it will not outlast wool, and in high-traffic lanes the pile darkens and dulls with use. It lasts far longer when kept out of constant foot traffic, blotted rather than scrubbed when spills happen, and cleaned by a specialist rather than soaked at home. Unsure whether yours is viscose? It often has a bright, silky sheen, feels cool and soft, and may be labelled rayon, art silk, bamboo silk or banana silk. Do not test it with water; blot gently and call 1800 655 949, and we confirm the fibre when we collect it.
