Pet Stains & Odour Removal
Rugs take the brunt of family life, and pet accidents are one of the most common reasons people bring theirs in. We treat pet stains and odours as part of the clean, working to lift the mark andneutralise the smell. Older or deep-set stains cannot always be removed completely, so the sooneryou bring a rug in after an accident, the better the result.

Why Rugs Need Specialist
Cleaning
Rugs are not like clothes or bedding. Ground-in sand and grit act like tiny blades in the pile,wearing a rug down over time, and no amount of vacuuming lifts it all. But cleaning a rug the wrong way does its own damage: too much heat or water can make natural dyes run, cause colours to fade, or shrink and stiffen wool. That is why we test each rug for colour fastness before we start and match the method to the fibre. The goal is a deep, safe clean that removes the dirt and odours while keeping the colours rich and the pile intact. Unlike many cleaners who send rugs away to a third party, we clean them ourselves in-house, so your rug is handled with care from start to finish and never leaves our hands.
How Often Should a Rug Be Cleaned?
As a general guide, most rugs benefit from a professional clean every one to three years, and moreoften in busy hallways, living rooms, or homes with pets and children. Regular vacuuming helpsbetween cleans, but only a proper professional clean lifts the grit and grime that build up deep inthe pile and shorten a rug's life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean wool and Persian rugs?
Yes. Wool, Persian and oriental rugs need careful, specialist handling because of their natural dyes and fibres. We test the colours first and use a method suited to the rug.
Will cleaning make the colours run or fade?
We test each rug for colour fastness before cleaning, exactly to avoid dye bleed and fading that can happen with the wrong method or a home wash.
Can you remove pet stains and smells from a rug?
Often, yes. We treat pet stains and odours as part of the clean. Older or deep-set stains may not come out fully, so the sooner you bring the rug in, the better.
How much does rug cleaning cost?
It depends on the size and material of the rug, as a large wool or Persian rug takes more care than a small synthetic one. Bring it in or call 07774 694552 for a clear price.
How often should I have my rug cleaned?
Every one to three years for most homes, and more often in high-traffic rooms or with pets and children.
