Raising the Bar for Rug Cleaning in Austin
Area rugs, especially handwoven, antique, and specialty pieces, are not just floor coverings; they are works of art, family heirlooms, and important investments. Cleaning and caring for these pieces requires far more than basic carpet cleaning skills — it demands an intricate understanding of textile fibers, dye stability, proper washing techniques, and precise drying methods.
By achieving Master Rug Cleaner certification, The Steam Team’s expert technicians have demonstrated deep proficiency in:
Fiber identification and analysis
Advanced stain and spot removal techniques
Hand washing and custom treatment methods for delicate rugs
Safe drying and preservation practices
Repair and restoration of damaged textiles
“Our clients entrust us with some of their most valuable possessions," said David Marquardt, President of The Steam Team. "Earning Master Rug Cleaner status shows that we have the education, hands-on training, and ethical commitment to honor that trust every single time.”
A Commitment to Education and Industry Excellence
The Steam Team has always believed that ongoing education is key to delivering the highest level of service. This belief motivated their decision to pursue Master Rug Cleaner training — one of the industry's most respected and rigorous programs.
The Master Rug Cleaner course includes over 100 hours of classroom instruction, in-depth textile science study, and extensive practical experience in a real-world rug washing environment. Instructors are among the top experts in the field, many with decades of experience handling rare and exotic rugs from around the world.
“Our goal isn't just to meet industry standards — it's to set them,” added Marquardt. “Becoming a Master Certified Rug Cleaner is part of our broader vision to continually raise the bar for rug care not just in Austin, but throughout Texas.”
The Steam Team also participates in annual continuing education seminars and industry conferences to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in rug care technology and techniques.
