What Is the Cost of Professional Rug Cleaning?
If you’re wondering about the cost of professional rug cleaning, the answer depends on several factors including the rug’s size, material, condition and the type of cleaning required.
Pickup and Delivery Service
We offer a convenient pickup and delivery service. Your rug is collected, professionally washed at our dedicated facility, and returned once the cleaning process is complete.
This service is recommended for wool, silk, Persian, Oriental, hand-knotted, delicate, heavily soiled or pet-affected rugs.
Additional Treatments
Some rugs may require extra attention due to issues such as heavy staining, pet urine, odours or infestations.
If additional treatment is needed, this will always be discussed with you during the assessment process before any work is carried out.
What Affects the Cost of Rug Cleaning?
Every rug is different, and several factors influence the cleaning method and overall cost.
Rug Material
The type of fibre used in your rug plays a major role in determining how it should be cleaned.
- Synthetic rugs are generally easier to clean and are often suitable for in-home cleaning.
- Wool rugs typically require more specialised washing and controlled drying processes.
- Silk, viscose and delicate natural fibres need careful off-site cleaning due to their sensitivity.
- Persian, Oriental and hand-knotted rugs require specialised handling to help prevent dye bleeding and fibre damage.
The cleaning method varies depending on the material and condition of the rug.
Rug Size
Larger rugs generally require more labour, cleaning solution, water extraction and drying time than smaller rugs.
The overall size of the rug is one of the main factors considered when preparing a quote.
Cleaning Method
Different rugs require different cleaning approaches.
Some rugs can be cleaned safely in the home, while others benefit from a deep wash at our specialised facility where they can undergo a more thorough cleaning and controlled drying process.
The recommended method will depend on the rug’s material, construction and condition.
Rug Condition
Heavily soiled rugs or rugs affected by stains, pet accidents, odours or pests may require additional treatments and extra cleaning time.
Our technicians assess each rug individually and will explain any recommended treatments before proceeding.
Pickup and Delivery
We offer a pickup and delivery service for added convenience.
This allows your rug to be professionally cleaned at our facility and returned once fully cleaned and dried.
Proper professional cleaning helps protect your rug, extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best for years to come.
