Everything You Need To Know About Area Rug Cleaning

May 8, 2024

HydroClean is proud to be Colorado Springs’ leading carpet and rug cleaning company. Since 2005, our IICRC-certified technicians have delivered high-quality floor cleaning services with one goal in mind: customer satisfaction. From refreshing wall-to-wall carpet to deep cleaning tile floors, our team uses professional-grade equipment to get the job done right the first time.

One of the most popular services we provide is professional area rug cleaning. Area rugs add warmth, comfort, and style to your home while protecting the floors beneath them. However, over time, they trap dirt, allergens, and even pet urine that household vacuums and cleaning sprays cannot fully remove. That is why it is important to understand the process, benefits, and long-term value of professional rug cleaning. Here is everything you need to know about area rug cleaning and how HydroClean can help restore your rugs.

Why Area Rug Cleaning Matters  

Area rugs are high-traffic surfaces that accumulate dust, pollen, pet dander, and spills. Without proper cleaning, these contaminants can cause odors, discoloration, and even damage to rug fibers. Professional rug cleaning not only restores the look and feel of your rug but also protects your indoor air quality and extends the life of your investment.

The Professional Area Rug Cleaning Process

At HydroClean, we follow a detailed process to ensure your rug is cleaned thoroughly while preserving its color, texture, and structure. Here is what you can expect when you schedule a professional rug cleaning service: 

1. Rug Pick Up

A certified technician carefully removes your rug from your home and transports it to our cleaning facility, where we house the specialized equipment needed for deep cleaning.

2. Pretreatment Inspection  

We examine the rug for stains, damage, and overall condition to determine the best cleaning method. This ensures optimal results and rug safety.

3. Rug Beating

Loose dirt and allergens are removed with a mechanical rug beater that gently shakes out embedded particles.

4. Vacuum  

The rug is vacuumed with a high-powered, commercial-grade machine that removes even more debris than standard household vacuums.

5. Dye Lock & Pretreatment

A protective dye lock solution is applied to prevent color bleeding. Then, the rug is pretreated with a cleaning solution and allowed to soak for maximum effectiveness.

6. Washing 

A technician applies a mix of safe cleaning agents and water, then uses a specialized brush to work the solution deep into the fibers. This removes dirt, allergens, and pet odors. A squeegee is used to extract the dirty water, and the process is repeated until the rug is spotless.

7. Drying 

The rug is placed in a centrifuge to spin out excess water and then air-dried on racks to ensure complete drying without damage.

8. Post-Treatment Inspection 

We conduct a final inspection to confirm stains are gone and the rug is fully clean.

9. Rug Delivery 

Your rug is returned to your home, fresh and clean. Our technician walks you through the results and places your rug back in its original location.
