How We Clean Different Types Of Area Rugs


  • Wool Rugs: Wool rugs are known for their durability and plush feel. Professional cleaners use a gentle yet effective cleaning process that includes vacuuming, spot treatment, and thorough washing with pH-balanced cleaners to maintain the natural oils in the wool.
  • Silk Rugs: Silk rugs are delicate and luxurious, necessitating a careful cleaning approach. We typically use a low-moisture method and gentle, neutral detergents to prevent damage and preserve the rug's natural sheen.
  • Synthetic Rugs: Made from materials like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene, synthetic rugs are durable and stain-resistant. Cleaning usually involves a combination of vacuuming, stain treatment, and hot water extraction, known for its effectiveness in removing deep-seated dirt and allergens.
  • Cotton Rugs: Cotton rugs, popular for their casual look and affordability, are easier to clean. They are typically treated with a deep cleaning method involving safe detergents and thorough rinsing, which helps remove dirt and preserve the fabric's natural feel.
  • Oriental and Persian Rugs: These are often handcrafted and made from natural fibers. The cleaning process for these rugs is quite meticulous, involving dust removal, gentle hand-washing with special solutions, and careful drying to preserve the colors and intricate patterns.
  • Shag Rugs: With their long fibers, shag rugs require special attention. Professional rug cleaners often use methods that deeply clean the fibers without matting them, often involving controlled moisture and specialized tools.
 

Importance of Professional Rug Cleaning:


  • Preservation of Quality: Professional cleaning helps in maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of the rug.
  • Expertise: Professionals have the knowledge and tools to handle various rug types without causing damage.
  • Deep Cleaning: Professionals can remove more dirt, bacteria, and allergens than standard home cleaning methods.
  • Safe Cleaning Agents: They use eco-friendly and fabric-appropriate cleaning agents that are safe for both the rug and the environment.

In conclusion, professional area rug cleaning is essential for the maintenance and longevity of your rugs. With a range of rug types in the market, each with its specific cleaning needs, relying on experts ensures that your cherished rugs remain in pristine condition, enhancing the beauty and comfort of your living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost to Clean an Area Rug?

The cost of professional area rug cleaning varies based on the rug’s size, material, and condition. On average, prices range from $1 to $5 per square foot, with delicate or antique rugs requiring specialized care at a higher cost. We offer free pickup and delivery, adding to the convenience.

What’s the Best Way to Clean an Area Rug?

The best cleaning method depends on the rug’s material and level of soiling. For most rugs, a deep but gentle wash with professional-grade solutions is ideal. Delicate rugs, like wool or silk, require specialized hand-cleaning, while synthetic rugs can handle more intensive treatments like hot water extraction.

How Do Professionals Clean Rugs?

Professional rug cleaning typically involves:

  • Inspection & Dust Removal – Dry soil and dust are thoroughly removed.
  • Pre-Treatment – Stains and high-traffic areas are treated with specialized solutions.
  • Deep Cleaning – Using either hot water extraction, immersion cleaning, or dry-cleaning methods based on the rug type.
  • Drying & Grooming – The rug is carefully dried, brushed, and inspected before returning to the customer.

Can I Send My Rug Away for Professional Cleaning?

Yes! As professional rug cleaners, we offer pickup and delivery services, so you don’t have to worry about transporting your rug. Sending your rug to our cleaning facility ensures a thorough, deep clean with the proper equipment and drying conditions.

Can I Take My Rug to the Dry Cleaners?

Most dry cleaners aren’t equipped to handle area rugs, especially delicate or handwoven ones. Standard dry-cleaning chemicals can be too harsh and may damage natural fibers like wool or silk. It’s best to use a professional rug cleaner who specializes in proper washing techniques.

How Long Does It Take for a Rug to Dry After Cleaning?

Drying time depends on the rug’s material and cleaning method. On average, rugs take 6 to 24 hours to dry completely. Professional drying rooms and air circulation systems can speed up the process, ensuring your rug is returned fresh and ready to use.
