Area Rug Cleaning Company
Our specialized cleaning process uses water immersion and proprietary equipment to remove deep soil from delicate rugs. Technicians mechanically dust rugs with the Wolverine Rug Duster before gentle washing, preserving fiber integrity while eliminating 98% of contaminants. The Centri-Maxx wringer safely extracts water without pile distortion.
Oriental Rug Repair
Expert craftsmen perform fringe restoration, moth damage repair, and color restoration for antique and modern Oriental rugs. Our technicians match original dyes and weaving patterns to maintain authenticity while extending rug lifespan through structural reinforcement.
Stain Protection
We apply advanced protectants that create invisible barriers against water-based and oily spills. This treatment bonds with fibers to prevent permanent staining while maintaining rug texture and appearance, ideal for high-traffic areas.
Pet Odor Removal
Our enzymatic cleaning process targets urine crystals and bacteria causing persistent odors. The treatment penetrates deep into rug fibers to neutralize smells permanently, followed by thorough rinsing and drying to restore freshness.
Rug Storage
Climate-controlled storage facilities protect rugs from temperature fluctuations and humidity. Each rug receives acid-free wrapping and pest protection before being stored flat to prevent creasing, ensuring optimal condition during long-term storage.

They picked up and dropped off my rugs. The gentlemen were very professional and polite. My rugs came back within 8 days and they looked great. My wife and I were very pleased with the entire experience.
