Area Rug Cleaning
Our area rug cleaning service exists for one reason: delicate and natural-fiber rugs that need gentler methods than wall-to-wall carpet.
Most cleaning quotes bundle this into a line item and hope for the best. We treat area rug cleaning as its own scope with its own method, because delicate and natural-fiber rugs that need gentler methods than wall-to-wall carpet does not respond to a general-purpose wipe-down. You get a written quote that says exactly what is covered before anyone starts.
Fiber-tested methods, pet-specific enzyme treatment, and honest answers about which stains will not fully lift.
- Insured & background-checked crews
- Free written estimates
- Written room-by-room checklist
