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.

DEEP CLEAN & DEODORIZE

Our deep washing and dusting process eliminates odor-causing fine particulates from deep within your rug. Because of the nature of the wash, we do not mask odors with chemicals but remove dust and dirt embedded in your rug’s fibers at the source. This includes harmful plastics, metals, fine particles, and ultrafine particles in the smoke fire that is polluting the air.

DAMAGE RESTORATION

If your house was directly involved in the fire, you may find that your rugs have survived with some damage. Our Los Angeles experts can reweave portions of a rug that have been burned off because of fire damage.

A Custom Process For Your Rug

When it comes to smoke damage, no chemicals can beat the effectiveness of deep cleaning. Our process draws inspiration from over a century of tradition, and combines it with modern and future cleaning solutions to provide the best possible results. When it comes to cleanliness and results, nothing can compete with our 11 step deep rug cleaning process. Our rug cleaning procedure involves fully submerging the rug in a fresh cold water bath and cleaning by non-toxic detergent before being drying it as quickly as possible. If the rug isn’t dried in a timely manner, the remaining water will cause the fabric to become coarse and stiff. Worse yet it could result in fiber deterioration, discoloration and a mildew-like odor that will cast a stinky shadow over your entire house. Our centrifugal rug wringer (fancy word for rug drier) is the best in the industry and safely removes over 98% of the water from the rug in just under 2 minutes to avoid all of that. Come see the Babash difference today!
