Wool, silk, oriental, synthetic — every rug is different, and one cleaning method doesn't fit all. Our IICRC-certified technicians inspect your rug first, then choose the right technique to clean it deeply without damaging the fibers, colors, or construction.

Different fibers and constructions require different approaches. We identify your rug's material before selecting a method — never a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Wool is durable but sensitive to harsh alkaline cleaners and heat. We use pH-balanced solutions and controlled extraction to clean deeply without felting or shrinkage.
Silk requires the lowest-moisture approach available. We use minimal-wet methods and gentle, silk-safe solutions to preserve sheen and prevent color bleed or fiber damage.
Hand-knotted rugs with natural dyes need careful pre-testing for colorfastness. We inspect the pile direction, fringe, and backing before any solution is applied.
Nylon, polyester, and olefin rugs are more tolerant of standard hot water extraction. We still pre-treat high-traffic lanes and stains with targeted spotters before rinsing clean.
Long fibers trap soil, pet hair, and dander deep in the pile. We use a slower, lower-pressure extraction pass to lift debris without matting or distorting the pile.
Thin construction means moisture must be carefully managed to prevent backing damage and warping. We use controlled extraction with rapid drying to protect the structure.
Every job starts with an inspection — not a cleaning. We identify the fiber, test for colorfastness, and map any problem areas before a drop of solution touches your rug.
