Area Rug Cleaning Company
Our patented 10-step process combines traditional immersion techniques with modern technology for thorough cleaning. Using the Wolverine Rug Duster and Centri-Maxx wringer, we safely remove soil from delicate fibers. This specialized service preserves the value of wool, silk, and handmade rugs while ensuring complete drying without pile distortion.
Oriental Rug Repair
Expert craftsmen perform precise repairs using authentic materials and techniques. We address holes, frayed edges, and structural damage with yarn matching from countries of origin. Our specialists handle fire, water, and insect damage restoration for handmade rugs requiring insurance-level repairs.
Rug Padding
Custom-designed hypoallergenic pads protect both rugs and flooring surfaces. Our non-slip solution prevents bunching and tripping hazards while extending rug lifespan. The dual-surface design grips hard floors and carpeted surfaces equally effectively without damaging fibers.
Deodorizing
Specialized treatment eliminates pet odors and bacteria from rug foundations. Our process addresses severe soiling cases while preserving fiber integrity. The solution works at the microbial level to permanently remove odor sources rather than masking them temporarily.
Stain Removal
Targeted removal of wine, coffee, ink, and organic stains from delicate textiles. Our technicians use fiber-specific solutions that break down stains without damaging dyes. Early intervention increases success rates, with specialized treatments for both natural and synthetic rug materials.
