Rug cleaning in our specialist facility

A closer look at our professional Rug Cleaning process

Our rug cleaning service is carried out at our dedicated facility using professional equipment and carefully controlled methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our Rug Cleaning service.

Rugs require careful handling, especially when dealing with natural fibres, delicate dyes or potential moth damage. Below are answers to the most common questions about our rug cleaning process and what to expect.

Rugs are cleaned at our dedicated facility where dusting, washing and drying can be carefully controlled. This allows for a more thorough and consistent result.
Yes. Cleaning methods are selected based on the rug’s fibre type, construction and dye stability to ensure safe handling.
We carry out dye testing before cleaning to check colour stability. This helps us choose the safest method for your rug.
Yes. Every rug is carefully inspected for signs of moth damage before cleaning begins.
Cleaning can remove dirt and larvae, but it cannot reverse fibre loss caused by moths. However professional cleaning helps stop further contamination and allows the rug to be assessed properly.
Many stains and odours can be significantly improved or full removed. Some permanent staining or deep-set damage may remain, and we will advise you honestly after inspection.
The turnaround time depends on the rug’s material and condition. We will confirm a realistic timeframe after assessment.
Most rugs benefit from professional cleaning every 1 to 3 years, depending on foot traffic, pets and household conditions.
