Rug Cleaning you can rely on
Rugs need a tailored approach. We analyse the pile, vacuum thoroughly (shag pile is often agitated outside first, since vacuuming alone can't lift the dirt trapped in long fibres), treat marks and stains, then steam clean, neutralise, deodorise and sanitise. We check for moisture wicking through the backing and elevate the rug so air flows on both sides for an even, complete dry.

Rug Cleaning questions.
How are rugs cleaned differently to carpet?+
Rugs need a tailored approach. We analyse the pile, vacuum thoroughly, treat marks and stains, then steam clean, neutralise, deodorise and sanitise — and we check for moisture wicking through the backing so the rug dries evenly on both sides.
Can you clean shag pile rugs?+
Yes. Shag pile is often agitated outside first, because the long fibres trap a lot of dirt that vacuuming alone can't lift. We then steam clean and groom the pile.
How long do rugs take to dry?+
Most rugs are dry within several hours. We elevate the rug where needed so air flows on both sides for an even, complete dry.
Do you clean delicate or antique rugs?+
We assess every rug and determine the pile composition before choosing the right method, so delicate rugs are handled carefully. If a rug is especially valuable or fragile, let us know when you book.
Can you treat odours in rugs?+
Yes. After steam cleaning we deodorise so the rug smells fresh, and sanitise to eliminate potential bacteria.
Do you collect and return rugs?+
Most rugs are cleaned on site. Get in touch and we'll advise the best approach for your rug and location across Brisbane.
