Everyday family rugs
Send the approximate dimensions and photos of the whole rug. Tell us about food spills, pet use and previous products so the treatment history is clear.
Considered care. Clear advice.
Refresh your rug with a cleaning approach chosen for its fibre, backing, dyes and condition.
Tell us the rug’s size, construction and concerns before choosing a method. Rug cleaning needs to consider the whole item, not just the visible surface or a standard carpet room rate.

Rug Cleaning
A wool rug, synthetic shag and handmade decorative rug can have very different care needs. Our rug cleaning discussion looks at the face fibre, backing, fringes and colour stability before recommending suitable handling.
Send the approximate dimensions and photos of the whole rug. Tell us about food spills, pet use and previous products so the treatment history is clear.
Keep labels and manufacturer information available. Fine fibres, unstable dyes, fringes and older construction can affect suitability and need individual assessment.
Explain the cause and whether the backing or floor beneath was also affected. Some marks or deeper contamination cannot be resolved by a surface clean alone.
Plan with confidence
Photograph the front, back, edges and any labels and measure the rug. If the fibre or origin is uncertain, say so rather than assuming it is wool or silk. Construction and condition guide the method and expected result.
Ask whether suitable work can be performed on-site or whether another handling arrangement is needed. Collection, delivery and off-site treatment require specific confirmation; do not assume they are included for every rug and address.
Discuss drying, furniture and floor protection. A damp rug should not be placed back on a vulnerable surface or covered before following the advice given. Allow time for the rug to be ready before an event or room styling.
Rug cleaning is quoted for dimensions, material, construction, condition and any specialist treatment or handling. Share photos and labels and confirm the method, included work and any collection or delivery charge before booking.
Remove loose objects and explain whether furniture rests on the rug. Discuss moving heavy pieces beforehand. Point out loose fringes, damaged backing, colour transfer and previous cleaning attempts.
Follow the drying and placement advice for your rug and the floor beneath it. Ask about routine vacuuming and spill care suited to its material. Report concerns promptly for review of the agreed work.


Before you book
Practical answers to help you choose and prepare for rug cleaning.
No. The fibre, backing, dyes, construction and care instructions affect the suitable method. Share labels and photos so we can assess the item. A standard carpet-cleaning process should not be assumed suitable for every rug.
Ask about arrangements for your particular rug and address. Collection, delivery and off-site treatment need confirmation and may be separately quoted. The size, construction and method can affect how the item should be handled.
It depends on the extent and which materials are affected. Tell us about the backing, floor beneath and previous treatments. We discuss suitable assessment and expected limitations before additional work, without promising every odour or stain can be removed.
Colour stability is one consideration before treatment. Share the rug’s care information, age and previous cleaning history. Unstable dyes or existing colour transfer can limit the suitable approach, so the material is assessed rather than treated with one method automatically.
Provide its approximate length and width, plus photos of the front, back and labels. Mention fringes, thick pile and any damaged areas. These details help us prepare an estimate, with the scope confirmed before work.
Follow the advice for the treatment and rug construction and allow it to dry as directed. The floor beneath also matters. Do not replace a damp rug under furniture or on a vulnerable surface before the handling guidance is clear.
