What types of rugs do you clean?

How much does rug cleaning cost?

Do you remove pet stains and odors?
Yes! Pet odor removal is one of our specialties.
We use targeted treatments to eliminate and neutralize pet odors — not just cover them up. Our process is safe for pets, kids, and delicate rugs.

Let us know your location and we’ll schedule a time that works best for you.
How long does rug cleaning take?
Most rugs are ready within 2 weeks, depending on the level of cleaning required.
We’ll always let you know the estimated timeline when you drop off or schedule your pickup.
What cleaning products do you use?
We use simple, soap-based solutions — safe for people, pets, and the planet. No harsh chemicals, no overpowering fragrances — just a deep clean that’s gentle on your rug.
Can you clean rugs with fringe or delicate fibers?
Yes. We have experience with delicate and detailed rugs, including those with fringe, hand-knotted construction, or sensitive materials. We’ll assess your rug and adjust our process to ensure safe, effective cleaning.
Do you sell rug pads?
We do! We offer high-quality rug pads that can be cut to fit your rug. A good rug pad helps prevent slipping, protects your floors, and extends the life of your rug.
