A rug in front of the sofa takes a lot of foot traffic, plus crumbs, spilled drinks and pets curling up on it. Dirt settles deep into the pile, and the colours slowly go dull. When you call about rug cleaning in Coorparoo, we ask the size of each rug, what it is made of if you can tell, and whether there are stains or smells to deal with.
The crew we book checks the fibre and tests for colour run before any water goes on. Wool rugs get a gentle, low-heat method, while synthetic rugs can usually take hot water extraction. Loose dirt and grit are vacuumed out first, stains are pre-treated and the fringe is cleaned by hand so it does not tangle or discolour. The pile is groomed at the end so it dries evenly and sits the right way. Rugs that sit under a coffee table often show a clear line where the foot traffic stops, and the crew works on those lanes with extra pre-spray.
- Wool and wool-blend rugs
- Synthetic and polypropylene rugs
- Shag and high-pile rugs
- Hallway runners and bedside rugs
- Fringes and bound edges
Rugs are cleaned in place in most homes. Prop up an edge while it dries so air gets underneath, and keep furniture off it until the pile feels dry right through. Very old, silk or handmade rugs may need a different approach, which the crew will talk through with you before starting. Rugs with pet accidents can be treated for odour at the same time.
