Area Rug Cleaning With the Care They Deserve.
Hand-finished cleaning for rugs that are too valuable for a standard machine.
The area rug cleaning brief.
Area rugs are different from wall-to-wall carpet. They have edges that fray, fringes that tangle, dyes that bleed, and backings that can be damaged by the wrong cleaning method. Oriental rugs, Persian rugs, silk blends, and hand-knotted pieces require specialized handling that a standard carpet cleaning approach would ruin. Our area rug cleaning process starts with careful inspection of fiber type, dye stability, and construction. We dust the rug to remove dry soil (which can be 80% of the dirt), test for colorfastness, then clean using appropriate methods for the specific rug. Fringe is hand-cleaned. Edges are inspected for damage. The rug is dried flat to prevent shrinkage.

What you get.
Specialized Rug Knowledge
We identify fiber type and construction to choose the right method. Wool, silk, cotton, synthetic, hand-knotted, machine-made — each gets appropriate care.
Colorfastness Testing
Before cleaning, we test dyes for stability. If a dye is fugitive (likely to bleed), we adjust our method to prevent color transfer and damage.
Flat Drying
Rugs are dried flat to prevent shrinkage and distortion. This takes longer but preserves the rug shape and dimensions.
The process.
Inspection and Testing
We inspect fiber type, construction, dye stability, and existing damage. We note any areas of concern and discuss expectations with you.
Dust, Clean, and Detail
We mechanically dust the rug to remove dry soil, then clean using the method matched to your rug type. Fringes are hand-cleaned.
Dry Flat and Return
Your rug dries flat in our facility. Once dry, we inspect the results and deliver it back to your home.

Area rug cleaning is priced per square foot, starting at $3-5 per square foot depending on rug type and construction. A typical 8x10 rug runs $240-400. Silk and hand-knotted rugs are at the higher end. Pickup and delivery included.
