Professional Rug Cleaning
Rugs are cleaned as a separate service to fitted carpets and priced by area rather than per room. Rug material and construction - wool, synthetic, flatweave, tufted and so on - can affect the most suitable cleaning approach, so every rug is assessed before cleaning rather than treated identically.
How Rug Cleaning Is Priced
Rug cleaning costs R130 per square metre. For example, a 2m × 3m rug is 6m², which comes to R780. Use the calculator above and simply enter your rug's length and width - the area and price are calculated instantly.
Measuring Your Rug
Measure the length and width of your rug in metres at its widest points. Multiply the two figures together to get the area in square metres - the calculator above does this automatically as soon as you enter your measurements.
Our Rug Cleaning Process
Inspection
We assess the carpet, fibres, stains and general condition before starting.
Preparation
The room and carpet are prepared for cleaning.
Spot & Stain Treatment
Areas requiring additional treatment are identified and pre-treated.
Warm-Water Extraction
Professional extraction equipment and warm water are used to clean and lift soil and cleaning solution from the carpet.
Extraction
As much moisture and suspended soil as practical is removed from the carpet.
Professional Drying
A blower is used afterwards to improve airflow and assist drying.
Final Inspection
The cleaned carpet is checked to make sure the work has been completed properly.
Stain & Odour Handling
As with fitted carpets, visible stains and odours on rugs are assessed and treated individually. Some marks can be permanent depending on the substance, rug material and age of the stain, so we treat each rug on its own merits.
