Revita is not traditional rug washing. Revita revitalizes rugs, purging them of dirt, bacteria, dust mites, allergens, stains and odors. No harsh chemicals. In fact, Revita removes the toxic residue le by previous rug cleaners and gently strips away the brittle calcium deposited in your rug by the well water they used. A revitalized rug is so er, richer and healthier than ever before. Utterly clean. You’ll smile when you see and feel the di erence. Revita is a new technology using ultra-puri ed water and purely organic additives to restore the life and vitality of area rugs, even the most delicate, antique silk Persians and Orientals. Miraculously, Revita costs about the same as traditional rug washing. But technology is always like that, isn’t it? Giving us safe, a ordable solutions that were impossible only yesterday.
