Rug Cleaning Geelong | Same Day Service

Yes, in most cases, at your home across Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast. Valuable hand-knotted and silk rugs, and rugs with heavy pet contamination, get a better result from immersion cleaning and we will tell you honestly when that applies.

Yes, and we see a lot of it locally. Viscose, sold as bamboo silk or art silk, yellows and stiffens permanently if it is over-wetted. We only ever use a low-moisture method on it, and we set expectations before starting rather than after.

Yes, on site in most cases, with no travel surcharge across Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast. We protect the floor underneath and dry the rug with air movement before we leave.

With a thorough dry pass on both faces before any moisture is introduced. Wetting a sandy rug first turns the grit into a paste that sets in the foundation, which is the most common mistake we see after a DIY attempt.

Small rugs start from $89, medium from $129 and large from $169, with a $120 minimum call-out covering up to three rugs at one address. Wool and hand-knotted rugs carry a surcharge from $30 because the process is slower, and silk or viscose from $60. You get a fixed itemised quote before we begin.

We test dye stability on a hidden section of every rug before any solution touches the visible pile. If the dyes move, we switch to a low-moisture, pH-neutral method and tell you what result is realistic. Skipping that test is how rugs get ruined, and it is the main reason we will occasionally recommend not wet-cleaning a rug at all.

Almost always, yes. We protect the floor underneath, clean on site and dry with air movement. The exceptions are valuable hand-knotted or silk rugs and rugs with heavy pet urine contamination in the backing, which genuinely get a better result from immersion cleaning elsewhere.

Viscose, sometimes sold as bamboo silk or art silk, is the most fragile fibre we deal with. It yellows, stiffens and marks permanently if over-wetted. We only ever use a low-moisture method on it, and we will set expectations honestly before starting.

Four to six hours for most wool and synthetic rugs, dried flat with air movement. Low-moisture cleans on silk and viscose are faster. We ask you to keep furniture and pets off it until it is fully dry.

Surface accidents, usually yes, using an enzyme treatment that breaks down the salts causing the smell. Urine that has soaked through into the backing and the floor beneath is much harder on site, and repeated accidents in one spot often need immersion cleaning to fully resolve.
