Rug Care
Careful, material-appropriate cleaning for wool, synthetic, and blended area rugs — done right regardless of size or shape.
Area rugs see concentrated foot traffic in a smaller footprint than wall-to-wall carpet, which means dirt and wear build up faster per square foot. They also sit directly on hardwood, tile, or laminate, so trapped moisture or harsh chemicals can damage both the rug and the floor underneath if handled incorrectly.
We measure and price by square footage so you know the cost upfront, and we adjust our approach based on the rug's construction — whether it's machine-made synthetic, natural wool, or a blended weave. Each holds moisture and reacts to cleaning solutions differently.
Every job follows the same careful process, adjusted for the specific material and condition of what we're cleaning.
We check fiber content, dye stability, and backing type to determine the right solution and how much moisture the rug can safely handle.
Rugs hold a surprising amount of dry soil in their base. Thorough vacuuming from both sides removes loose particulate before wet cleaning.
Pet accidents, food stains, and high-traffic paths get pre-treated individually before the full cleaning pass.
Hot water extraction at $1.00 per square foot lifts embedded soil and residue while controlling moisture to protect the rug's backing and any furniture underneath.
We groom the pile in the direction of the weave and position the rug or use air movers to promote even, efficient drying.
Wool and higher-quality synthetic rugs represent real value. Routine cleaning prevents grit from cutting fibers and dulling color over time.
A dirty, damp, or poorly cleaned rug can transfer moisture, dye, or residue to the hardwood or tile beneath it. Controlled cleaning protects both surfaces.
Area rugs collect the same dust and dander as carpet but often get vacuumed less thoroughly because they can be moved aside. Deep cleaning catches what's been missed.
