Rug cleaning that protects your investment
Rugs accumulate significant amounts of dust, allergens, pet dander, and grime within their pile — often far more than wall-to-wall carpet because they sit directly on hard flooring where dust concentrates. Regular vacuuming removes surface debris, but can't reach deep contamination embedded in the fibres.
Unlike carpets, rugs vary enormously in construction — wool, synthetic, natural fibres, woven pile, hand-knotted, machine-made, and everything in between. Each type responds differently to moisture, temperature, and cleaning solutions. Wayne inspects every rug before selecting the appropriate method to avoid colour bleeding, shrinkage, or pile damage.
For most residential rugs, Wayne uses a low-moisture cleaning process that thoroughly cleans the rug without over-wetting, minimising drying time and the risk of any fibre distortion. This approach is safe for the vast majority of modern and traditional rug types.
