A Rug Is Not Just Small Carpet
Rugs are woven and dyed differently to fitted carpet, and many are not colourfast. Cleaning a wool or silk rug with the same heat and chemistry you would use on synthetic broadloom is how rugs end up bleeding, browning or shrinking.
We test dye stability on every rug before any solution touches it. If the dyes move on the test patch, the method changes to a low-moisture, pH-neutral process, and we tell you what result is realistic before we start.
Rugs also hold far more dry soil than people expect, because both sides are exposed. A thorough dry pass on both faces comes before anything wet, and it is usually where most of the dirt actually comes out.
Tell us the fibre and roughly where it came from when you request a quote. Hand-knotted, silk and antique pieces are handled differently, and some are better off not being wet-cleaned at all.

What Is Included in Every Clean

Should Your Rug Be Cleaned at Home or Taken Away?
Most rugs are fine on site. Some genuinely are not, and we will tell you which yours is.
How We Clean, Step by Step
Most rugs take 30 to 60 minutes on site, then a few hours to dry.

Rug Types We Clean
The fibre decides the method entirely. This is the part cheap operators skip, and it is why rugs get ruined.
Rug Stains We Treat
Tell us what happened and how long ago. On rugs, speed matters more than on carpet because dyes and spills interact in the weave.

Rug Cleaning Melbourne FAQs
How much does rug cleaning cost in Melbourne?
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.
Will the colours run?
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.
Can you clean my rug at home?
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.
Is viscose safe to clean?
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.
How long does a rug take to dry?
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.
Can you get pet urine out of a rug?
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.
Do you clean the fringes?
Yes, separately. Fringes are cotton and yellow easily, so they are treated gently rather than blasted with the same process as the pile. Fringe detailing is from $25.
How often should rugs be cleaned?
Every 12 months for a rug in a living area, or every 6 months with pets or young children. Rugs sit in the busiest part of a room, so they soil faster than the fitted carpet around them.
Can you clean a rug on carpet?
Yes. We place a barrier underneath so moisture does not transfer into the carpet below, and we dry the rug with air movement. If the carpet underneath needs doing too, it is cheaper to book both in the same visit.
Do you cover my suburb?
All of Melbourne metro plus Geelong and surrounds. Call 0436 389 114 if you are unsure.
