Restore the Beauty and Freshness of Your Rugs

From pet stains to everyday soil, we safely deep-clean and revive every fiber — giving your rugs the vibrant color and softness they once had.

About Our Rug Cleaning Service

Area rugs can trap dust, pet dander, and odors deep within their fibers — far beyond the reach of vacuuming. Over time, this buildup dulls colors, flattens texture, and can even cause fiber damage if left untreated.

Our professional rug cleaning process safely deep-cleans each rug type — from synthetic to wool to silk — using industry-approved methods designed for delicate fibers. Every rug is inspected, dusted, washed, rinsed, and placed in a temperature-controlled drying room to restore its natural softness and color vibrancy.

You’ll see and feel the difference: rugs look brighter, feel softer, and smell fresher, giving your home a cleaner, healthier atmosphere you can enjoy every day.

Experience the Total Difference

Our Rug Cleaning Process

Each rug receives a customized cleaning plan tailored to its fiber type, dyes, construction, and level of soiling. This ensures safe, thorough results for synthetic, wool, viscose, silk, and specialty rugs.

Inspection, Dye Test, Vacuuming & Dust Removal

We wash the rug using the correct rug shampoo, based on its fiber type and the level of soil. Specialized spot treatments are applied to address issues such as ink, grease, spills, and stubborn stains. For rugs from homes with pets, we apply a pet urine treatment to remove stains and neutralize odors at the source. We continue this process until all removable dirt, residue, and pet odors are eliminated.

Rug Shampoo Wash, Spot Treatments & Pet Urine Treatment

We wash the rug using the correct rug shampoo, based on its fiber type and the level of soil. Specialized spot treatments are applied to address issues such as ink, grease, spills, and stubborn stains. For rugs from homes with pets, we apply a pet urine treatment to remove stains and neutralize odors at the source. We continue this process until all removable dirt, residue, and pet odors are eliminated.

Thorough Wash with Mechanical or Hand Agitation

Depending on the rug’s construction and condition, we use either controlled mechanical agitation or hand scrubbing with soft brushes for delicate rugs. This safely loosens embedded soil, oils, hair, and residue from deep in the fibers.

Rinse, Centrifuge Spin & Temperature-Controlled Drying

The rug is thoroughly rinsed and spun in our rug centrifuge, removing water, shampoo, and contaminants. We monitor the water leaving the centrifuge to ensure a clean, soft, and residue-free finish. The rug is then dried in our temperature-controlled drying room to protect dyes and prevent uneven drying.

Grooming, Final Vacuum & Delivery Prep

We groom the rug for a smooth, even appearance and HEPA vacuum it again to remove loose fibers and lint. The rug receives a final inspection, and then it is rolled up and ready for delivery.

Matthew saved our flood-damaged area rugs (even though they were not of high quality). He made them fluffy and absolutely odor-free for a reasonable price, ultimately salvaging our house! Thank you!

Total Cleaning Service provided the best customer service, over all value for cleaning two large area rugs and runner. The company was prompt in responding to my service request, and provided the best quote than their competitors. They are truly a full service company, offering free pickup, delivery and rug placements. Total Cleaning Service was able to complete the service in no time while competitors were quoting 3 weeks. The quality of their work is amazing. My husband inherited the rugs that has never been professionally cleaned since it was laid in their family home 38+ years ago. The rugs came back like they were brand new. They were unrecognizable! The plushness of the rug pile is amazing; the colors popped, and they were able to remove stains that were on the dining room rug
