What the ground changes
Rug cleaning in Wavre
We dust before wetting, wash below 30 °C between pH 5 and 7, and dry flat within 24 hours.
Collection
The Wavre North business park covers 186 hectares and brings together 349 companies for more than 13,400 jobs; a further 18-hectare project is under way for R&D and biotechnology. It comes on top of the South business park. GSK has committed an investment of €250 million there in a new vaccine production unit.
We collect and we bring back: the washing is done flat at the workshop, never with a hose in your living room.
The local setting
Walibi Belgium, opened on 26 July 1975 on 64 hectares in Wavre, together with the covered water park Aqualibi, received around 1.45 million visitors in 2018. The Dyle runs through the town, partly culverted beneath the centre.
Mud, sand, pollen, soot from an open fire: the immediate surroundings always end up at the bottom of the pile.
The building stock
Wavre is the administrative capital of the province of Walloon Brabant. It covers 42.06 km² at a density of 844.34 inhabitants/km², and only 37% of its building stock consists of detached houses (2023) — the lowest proportion of the three municipalities measured by the Maison de l'urbanisme du Brabant wallon.
The type of floor changes everything: on an old parquet, a rug traps the mineral dust; on cold tiles, it takes up damp from underneath.
A living-room rug can give up as much as a kilo and a half of mineral dust, settled at the base of the pile, against the foundation, where no domestic vacuum cleaner will go and find it. It is not fluff: it is sand, angular grains that saw at the wool with every step.
Hence the first rule: nothing goes into water before it has been dusted. Mechanical dusting works by vibration and powerful suction, on both faces; beating does the same work by percussion. Wetting a dusty rug turns that sand into mud and fixes it at the bottom of the pile.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you also work on office fitted carpets in the Wavre business parks?
Yes. The Wavre North business park alone brings together 349 companies and more than 13,400 jobs on 186 hectares, with the South business park on top of that: it is the leading office hub in Walloon Brabant. We work in the evening or at weekends so as not to interrupt business, with techniques suited to carpet tiles, stairwells and traffic areas. Direct access via the E411 allows us to cover several floors in the same day.
Can I wash my rug with a hired shampooer?
It is the best way to ruin it. These machines inject hot water and an alkaline detergent without ever rinsing with clean water or spinning. On wool, that gives at best a sticky residue that calls the dust back, at worst a dye bleed and the beginnings of felting.
How do I know whether my rug needs washing?
Lift a corner and tap the back with the flat of your hand, over a light-coloured floor. If a grey cloud settles, the mineral dust has already reached the base of the pile. A second sign: colours that look veiled. That is almost never fading, it is a grey film sitting on the pile.
