IN RECENT YEARS, chronological advances in
the science of rug cleaning have been little short Of

Today thanks to modern scientific methods and equip

Cleaned" rug really Clean Without breaking or njur-
ing the fbres Without loosening them Without beat
ing them down and fattening out the pile like pan.
cake With virtually all the dirt and hard sharp parti
cles out. And rinsed free Of harmful residue
But please note those words MODERN SCIENTIFIC
METHODS and EQUIPMENT. Unless these modern
chronological advances fully employed, it is
PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE (a) to clean rug
really clean, (b) to leave it unchanged (c to control
shrinkage d) to return it to your home practically
free of all dirt-attracting detergent impurities.
IN SHORT: Ordinary outdated rug cleaning methods
that merely scour your rug-give it superficial rims
ing-and hang it up to dry-simply do not do the job
As matter Of fact, these obsolete methods can do
rugs more harm than good.
lot Of people must get pretty discouraged at times,
with rug cleaning results.
You go out and buy rug. rug always costs money.
good one cost you hundreds, or even thousands
Of dollars When 1t starts looking soiled YOU send it
out to rug cleaner-and like as not it comes back
looking pretty good.
But or weeks later after it has been back on your
floor for WHILE may look worse than it did before
you had it cleaned. Why? This must be puzzling to
the average fastidious housewife.
The fact that it may not look clean is bad enough.
But what you don't see-what you can't see until it is
too late-is the hidden damage which may possibly
have been done. Damage which risks your entire rug
investment
The way it ends up is this BY trying to save few
pennies on rug cleaning many people find too late
that their expensive rugs have been damaged beyond
recovery.
