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.
