Rug cleaning, done the way each rug needs

We offer a wide range of rug cleaning methods, each promoted by rug manufacturers as the safest for their rug type. From everyday wool rugs to antique oriental rugs, our technicians are thoroughly trained in the delicate balance of pH solutions that fine rugs require.

We understand the investment in these pieces of art, and we treat them as delicately as we would our own. Every rug is cleaned at your home.

How it works

From colour-fast check to finished rug

01

Colour-fast check

Every rug is checked first to ensure its dyes are stable before anything is applied.

02

Method matched to fibre

The cleaning process is chosen for your rug type: steam cleaning, low-moisture encapsulation, or specialist solutions.

03

Deep fibre cleaning

Solutions and conditioned hot water are injected deep into the fibres, agitating dirt loose, then extracted by powerful vacuums.

04

Stain removal

A range of solutions matched to the stain type, removing the stain completely or as much as physically possible.

05

Sanitising available

Powerful anti-microbial treatments remove odours and leave rugs clean and fresh, on request.

06

Dried and finished

Rugs are dried properly and left soft, clean and residue-free.

Good to know

Honest answers about rug care

Can you clean rugs on hardwood floors?

No. Any water-based method risks lasting damage to timber. We clean rugs on carpets or on a garage floor instead.

Will you move furniture?

Light furniture is no problem. Insurance restricts us from moving heavy pieces, so please arrange that before we arrive.

Do you repair rugs?

We specialise in rug cleaning, stain removal and protection. Minor fringe and binding repairs are available at Flooring Design, Featherston Street, Palmerston North. For specialist oriental rug repairs we recommend Anna Williams at rugrepairs.co.nz (Wellington).
