Why Area Rugs Need Different Care Than Wall-to-Wall Carpet
Area rugs sit on hard floors, absorb concentrated foot traffic, and often have different fibers, backings, and dye stability than wall-to-wall carpet. Using the wrong method can cause browning, dye bleed, or backing damage.
Rug Types We Clean
- Synthetic rugs (nylon, polyester, olefin)
- Machine-made wool rugs
- Cotton flat-weaves and dhurries (where safe on-site)
- Decorative rugs with stable dyes
We do not attempt on-site cleaning of hand-knotted antique rugs, silk rugs, or rugs with unstable dyes. If yours falls into one of those categories, we will say so and recommend a specialist.
Our Process
- Fiber and dye test to confirm cleaning method
- Thorough dry-soil removal
- Pre-treatment for spots and traffic areas
- Hot-water extraction rinse where appropriate
- Grooming and drying with airflow
