Trusted Care for Delicate Fibers
Restore the Beauty of Your Oriental Rug Without Leaving Home
Oriental rugs require a specialized cleaning approach to protect delicate fibers, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors. That's why we provide Oriental rug cleaning right from the convenience of your home. Our specialist technicians use a specially formulated Oriental rug shampoo designed for these unique materials, followed by a triple rinse with clean cold water to help preserve the rug's integrity. Moisture is carefully controlled throughout the process and will never penetrate through the rug to your flooring below. Whether your Oriental rug has accumulated years of dust, pet odors, stains, or everyday traffic, our process is designed to leave it looking cleaner, smelling fresher, and feeling revitalized. Many homeowners are amazed at how much life returns to their treasured rugs after a professional cleaning.
Help Keep Rugs Cleaner Longer
Protect Your Rugs from Future Spills, Stains, and Everyday Wear
After investing in professional rug cleaning, many homeowners choose to add UniqueGuard Fabric Protection for an extra layer of defense. UniqueGuard can be applied to designer rugs, wool runners, Oriental rugs, and many other fabric surfaces throughout your home. This advanced protection helps repel many common food and beverage spills before they have a chance to become permanent stains. Even better, if you experience a qualifying spill and cannot remove it using the complimentary Spot and Spill Cleaner we provide, our team will return to treat the affected area at no charge. It's a simple way to help preserve the appearance of your rugs and extend the benefits of your professional cleaning service.
