Our Rug Cleaning Process

We follow a structured process to ensure each rug is cleaned safely and effectively.

Provide details about your rug, including size, material, and condition. We will give you a clear and transparent quote based on your requirements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For delicate or valuable rugs, we may carry out a virtual or onsite survey to assess the fibres, dyes, and overall condition before selecting the appropriate cleaning method.

Before cleaning begins, we inspect the rug, identify stains, and apply pre-treatment where necessary. We ensure the correct cleaning approach is used to protect the material and structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rug cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size, material, and condition of the rug. Larger or heavily soiled rugs may require more time and treatment. We provide clear, tailored quotes based on your specific requirements, ensuring transparency and no hidden charges.

Do you offer same-day or urgent rug cleaning?

We aim to accommodate urgent or same-day bookings where possible, depending on availability. This can be useful for unexpected spills or last-minute requirements. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time slot.

Is your rug cleaning service insured?

Yes, our rug cleaning service is fully insured. We hold public liability insurance to protect your property and belongings. Our team is trained to handle rugs carefully, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring a safe cleaning process.

What is included in a rug cleaning service?

The service includes deep cleaning, stain treatment, deodorising, and removal of dirt and allergens. We assess the rug type and apply the most suitable cleaning method. While we aim to remove as many stains as possible, some permanent marks may remain.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking a few days in advance, particularly during busy periods. For larger or multiple rugs, additional notice may be helpful. We always try to remain flexible and accommodate shorter notice where possible.

Drying times typically range from 4 to 8 hours depending on the material, cleaning method, and ventilation. We use efficient extraction methods to reduce moisture, and good airflow can help speed up drying.
