Rug Cleaning

Many rugs suggest or require professional rug cleaning. Rugs and carpet fibers can vary in size and materials, making them difficult to throw in the washing machine and making cleaning more intensive. Proper cleaning is essential to avoid damaging rugs and ensure they maintain their integrity and last as long as possible.

Types of Rugs that recommend professional Rug Cleaning:

  • Turkish Rugs
    These beautiful, hand-made rugs have unique colors and patterns. They are made using high-quality materials like wool and silk. To avoid color bleeding and damage to the fibers, it’s recommended that Turkish rugs be professionally cleaned.
  • Oriental Rugs 
    Authentic Oriental rugs are woven by hand using a loom, making each rug distinct and of high value. They can be made using various materials, including wool, bamboo, or silk. Because of their sensitive nature, professional cleaning is recommended to avoid color fading or bleeding, fibers getting too wet and not drying effectively, and lingering mildew odors that can result. 
  • Persian Rugs
    Like Oriental rugs, they are woven by hand but are essentially in their category of oriental rugs. They are hand-knotted in Iran, and the technique of hand-weaving various patterns and styles is passed down from generation to generation, making them quite unique. Because of their delicate, hand-woven nature, Persian rugs can get stained and damaged quite quickly, so it is recommended to get a professional rug cleaning service for ongoing maintenance. The world’s oldest Persian carpet, the Pazyryk Persian Rug, is estimated to be 2400 years old! So perhaps these rugs can last quite long, with the proper maintenance. 
  • Wool Rugs
    Durable and long-lasting material with tough fibers that can handle regular wear and tear. Did you know wool rugs are also naturally flame-resistant? This doesn’t mean they are invisible to fire but would be slow to ignite, and the fibers would not sustain a flame for too long. Wool, however, can be challenging to clean because it is susceptible to chemicals and can quickly become discolored or brittle with the wrong cleaning products. Wool also absorbs more water than other fibers, making drying difficult. It is recommended that wool rugs be professionally cleaned at least once a year. 
  • Additional Rugs
    Large area rugs that cannot fit in the washing machine, rugs with fringes, antique rugs, and rugs made of other delicate materials, like silk and viscose, may also require professional cleaning.

Revitalize Your Rugs

As a rule, most rugs should be professionally cleaned at least once a year. A few factors can impact that, including personal preference, unexpected spills or stains, the rug’s location, which may be exposed to traffic or dirt, and how often you vacuum. Children and pets are another factor; cleanings are typically needed more frequently.
