Professional Area Rug Cleaning

Q: How often should I have my rug professionally cleaned?

We recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months for most area rugs. High-traffic rugs or homes with pets and children may benefit from more frequent cleaning every 6-12 months.

Q: Will cleaning damage my rug's colors or fibers?

No. We test every rug for colorfastness before cleaning and use pH-balanced, fiber-appropriate products. Our techniques are designed to protect and preserve your rug's integrity.

Q: How long does the cleaning process take?

Most rugs are cleaned and ready for return within 5-7 business days. We offer rush service for an additional fee if you need your rug back sooner.

Q: Do you clean rugs on-site or at your facility?

All rugs are cleaned at our 20,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Crofton, MD. This allows us to use proper soaking and drying techniques that can't be replicated on-site.

Deep cleaning that goes beyond surface dirt — restoring vibrancy and freshness to your treasured rugs with eco-friendly, fiber-safe products.

Inspection & Assessment

Every rug is thoroughly inspected to identify fiber type, construction, colorfastness, and any areas of concern. This determines the safest and most effective cleaning method.

Dusting & Pre-Treatment

Rugs are mechanically dusted to remove deep-seated dry soil, then pre-treated with fiber-appropriate solutions to loosen embedded dirt and stains.

Deep Cleaning

Using our specialized soaking and hand-washing techniques at our 20,000 sq. ft. facility, your rug receives a thorough deep clean that ordinary carpet cleaners simply cannot match.

Drying & Finishing

Your rug is carefully dried in our climate-controlled facility to prevent shrinkage and color bleeding. A final grooming ensures fibers lay properly and your rug looks its best.
