Rugs collect dust, grit, allergens and everyday spills that can damage fibres over time. Professional rug cleaning helps remove this build-up, restore colour and extend the life of your rug. Each piece is carefully inspected and cleaned using methods suited to its material, construction and condition. We provide specialist rug cleaning from our dedicated plant, serving homes and businesses across Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
We begin with a detailed inspection to understand the condition, materials and any areas of concern. Your rug is then cleaned at our dedicated facility using professional equipment and carefully selected techniques. The process is designed to remove built-up dirt, allergens and odours while treating the fibres with care. Each stage is controlled to ensure a safe, consistent result.
1. Pre-clean inspection
We examine the rug for fibre type, dye stability, wear and any areas of concern.
2. Dye testing
Colours are tested to ensure they remain stable during the cleaning process.
3. Professional dusting
Dry soil and grit are removed using specialist dusting equipment.
4. Pre-treatment
A suitable cleaning solution is applied to loosen oils, dirt and pollutants.
5. Deep wash
The rug is carefully washed to remove embedded soil and contaminants.
6. Thorough rinse
Clean water is used to flush out residues and leave the fibres fresh.
7. Centrifuge extraction
Excess moisture is removed to speed up drying and protect the rug’s structure.
8. Controlled drying
Airflow and dehumidification are used to dry the rug safely without high heat.
9. Optional protection
A protective treatment can be applied to help guard against future spills.
10. Finishing and inspection
Fringes are checked, the pile is groomed and the rug is prepared for delivery.
