Area rugs take a beating

An area rug usually sits in the busiest spot in the room — under the dining table, in front of the couch, at the foot of the bed. It collects crumbs, spills, pet hair and grit, and because rugs are often thick, all of that sinks deep into the pile where a vacuum can’t reach.

On top of that, rugs sit on hard floors. Sand and dirt trapped in the rug can scratch the wood, tile or vinyl beneath it. Keeping your rug clean helps protect both.

How we clean area rugs

  1. Identify the rug. Size, fiber and construction all affect how a rug should be cleaned. Thick, dense rugs hold a lot of water and need extra care to dry properly.
  2. Remove dry soil. Getting the loose grit out first makes the wet cleaning more effective.
  3. Pre-treat spots and traffic areas.
  4. Deep clean and rinse. We pick the method that fits the rug: our truck-mounted system, extraction on-site, or a cold-water bath off-site.
  5. Extract and dry. Strong suction pulls out as much water as possible so the rug dries quickly — important in Florida humidity, where a damp rug can start to smell.

Rugs we clean

  • Synthetic rugs (nylon, polypropylene, polyester)
  • Thick and shag rugs
  • Large living room and dining room rugs
  • Wool, Oriental/Persian, sisal and silk rugs (cleaned off-site with a cold-water bath)

We don’t clean jute rugs.

How much does area rug cleaning cost?

Area rug cleaning starts at $10. We usually price by the size of the rug.

Your price depends on the rug’s size, material, how soiled it is, and whether it needs pet odor treatment. We’ll give you an exact number before starting.

How to get ready

  • Vacuum the rug if you can, and clear furniture off it.
  • Tell us about any pet accidents or spills and roughly how long ago they happened.
  • Check for a label on the back of the rug — the fiber content helps us choose the right method.

What customers say

“Just moved into a previously owned home and had Steve come out and do the tile in both my bathrooms where the tiles and grout were very dingy. He did a fantastic job on both! Floors looked brand new. He also did a large, thick area rug for me and it looks great as well.” — Nanci J.

Straight answers

Area Rug Cleaning: common questions

Do you clean rugs at my home or take them away?

Most rugs are cleaned right in your home. Some specialty rugs need to be removed and cleaned off-site in a cold-water bath.

Can you clean wool or handmade rugs?

Yes. Wool, Oriental/Persian, sisal and silk rugs are cleaned off-site with a cold-water bath. We don't clean jute rugs.

Can you get pet urine out of an area rug?

Pet accidents are one of the most common reasons people call about a rug. We can clean and deodorize to remove odors. Urine that has soaked deep into the rug and its backing can be harder to fully remove, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect before we start.

Will cleaning my rug hurt the floor underneath?

No. Rugs on wood or laminate floors are moved off the floor before we clean them. Rugs on tile or carpet can be cleaned right where they are.
