With a bevy of awards under its dirt-vanquishing belt, Glyndon Lord Baltimore Cleaners transforms world-weary area rugs and dingy clothes into shining beacons of fiber and fabric. To kick off the degriming process, cleaners shake floor toupees loose of all dry dirt with a special RugBadger machine. After a pretest to ensure sturdiness and color stability, rugs are thoroughly cleansed of stains and odors from mildew, territorial pets, and random skunkings. A nontoxic antimicrobial disinfectant ensures that rugs remain as fresh as a bouquet of satin gardenias. There is no limit on rug size ($2.50/sq. ft. regular; oriental & silk $3.50/sq. ft.), and for a $50 fee, the specialists will also carefully move furniture, sweep, and replace furniture with polaroids of furniture upon delivery.
