After soaking, the rug is flushed and rinsed out. This occurs with the rug still in the wash pool, immersed underwater, while clean water circulates into the pool and dirty water is pumped out. Using both compressed air and a jet stream of water, a flushing tool is then massaged over the rug to flush contaminants out of the fibers. In the same stroke, the tool replaces the contaminated water with fresh clean water.

Then a roller, which also features a jet stream of water, is pushed over the rug to force out any remaining contaminants. Both front and back sides of the rug are flushed in this manner. After the rug is thoroughly flushed and rinsed, the nap is set by hand using a pile brush.
