How Often Should I Clean My Rugs?

NYU Microbiologist Phillip Tierno recommends cleaning area rugs once every six months, while the American Lung Association recommends deep cleaning carpets once every year. We recommend frequent routine cleaning when your rug is in a high-traffic area or there are household members with health and respiratory concerns. Cleaning is recommended if you’ve stained your rug and if it’s visibly dirty.

How much does it typically cost to clean a rug?

The price depends on the fiber content and pile length of your area rug. Expect to pay anywhere between $240-320 for an 8 x10 rug made of standard length wool fiber.

Is it worth getting carpets cleaned professionally?

Rugs are one of the dirtiest items in your home. Carpets and rugs are filters that trap dirt, dust, dust mites, bacteria, mold, viruses, dead skin cells, pet debris, and other pollutants. For one of the dirtiest items in your home, Professional Rug Cleaning is one of the most vigorous cleaning processes available for any item in your home.

Can you steam clean an area rug?

Submersion cleaning from a professional specialty rug cleaner is always safer and more effective. However, if your rug is cheap, made of synthetic fiber and isn't particularly dirty then you can opt to steam clean it instead to save money.

NON-TOXIC CLEANING PRODUCTS
ARTISAN HAND WASH W/ COMMERCIAL MACHINERY
COMPLETE WATER SATURATION
DEODORIZATION TREATMENT
FIBER ALIGN BRUSH TREATMENT
After washing and partially drying the rug, a brush treatment is applied to even out the pile in a uniform resting direction while the rug is still damp. It is then sun-dried, which fixes the pile in place and helps prevent distortion in the future, similar to setting hair with a blow dryer.
FLUFFING & DE-CREASING TREATMENT
Flat spades and squeeges help eliminate dirt and residue from within the rugs fibers, accelerating drying times, detangling and softening matted fibers, as well as helping to straighten creases and wrinkles out of battered rugs.
INDUSTRIAL GRADE DE-DUSTING TREATMENT
A technician hand-operates a heavy-duty duster machine on rugs as a colleague sprays water ahead of the duster's path. This helps both to raise dust from deep within the pile to the surface, and to provide lubrication that will prevent the rugs from being damaged from the intense dusting process. Our duster's powerful leather whips safely and effectively remove deep-seated contaminants from the rug fibers through rapidly repeating cycles of rinsing and dusting.
