Professional Rug & Carpet Cleaning
Dust, soil, spills, pet-related contamination and everyday use can affect the appearance and condition of rugs and carpeting. Professional cleaning can help remove accumulated soil and address appropriate stains and odors while taking the material and construction into consideration.
Depending on the rug or carpet, cleaning services may include:
- Area rug cleaning
- Oriental rug cleaning
- Handmade rug cleaning
- Machine-made rug cleaning
- Carpet cleaning
- Dust and soil removal
- Spot and stain treatment
- Pet stain and odor treatment
- Extraction cleaning when appropriate
- Dry cleaning when appropriate
- Specialty cleaning based on fiber and construction
Our Area Rug Cleaning Process
Proper rug cleaning begins with evaluating the rug rather than automatically using the same process for every piece. Handmade and specialty rugs can require different handling than many machine-made rugs.
Depending on the rug, our process may include:
- Initial evaluation: The rug is reviewed for construction, material, age, condition and visible damage.
- Dust and dry soil removal: Loose contamination is removed as appropriate before washing or cleaning.
- Colorfastness testing: Dyes may be tested to help determine an appropriate cleaning method and reduce the risk of color migration.
- Stain evaluation and pretreatment: Heavily soiled areas and stains may be pretreated based on the fiber and type of contamination.
- Odor treatment: Pet and other odors may require additional treatment depending on the source and extent of contamination.
- Cleaning: The method is selected according to the rug and may include washing, extraction, dry cleaning or another appropriate process.
- Fringe care: Fringes and edges are evaluated and treated with consideration for their construction and condition.
- Controlled drying and final inspection: The rug is dried using a method appropriate for its material and construction and inspected after cleaning.
Results vary depending on the rug, material, age and type of stain. Some discoloration may be permanent when a substance has chemically altered or damaged the fibers or dyes.
Rug Repair & Restoration
Damage does not necessarily mean a valued rug must be replaced. Depending on its construction and condition, damaged areas may be repaired or restored using techniques appropriate for the rug.
Our rug repair and restoration services may include:
- Hole and tear repair
- Reweaving damaged areas
- Repairing worn or bald areas
- Lost corner restoration
- Damaged edge repair
- Binding repair and replacement
- Serging
- Fringe repair and restoration
- Reconstruction of lost ends
- Repair of selected moth-damaged areas
- Water-damaged area restoration when practical
- Color and pattern reconstruction when possible
Oriental & Handmade Rug Restoration
Handmade and Oriental rugs may require specialized repair techniques to preserve their construction, pattern and appearance. Missing or damaged sections can sometimes be reconstructed using compatible fibers and weaving techniques.
Before extensive restoration begins, the rug should be evaluated to determine the condition of the foundation, fibers, edges, fringe and surrounding areas.
Rug Resizing, Binding & Serging
A rug may be too large for a new room, damaged along one edge or require modification after moving or redesigning a space. Depending on its construction, some rugs can be professionally resized and the new edges properly finished.
Services may include cutting and resizing, edge finishing, binding, serging and other modifications appropriate for the rug.
Pet Stain & Odor Treatment
Pet accidents can penetrate beyond the visible surface of a rug and may affect fibers, dyes and the rug foundation. Treatment depends on the material, extent of contamination and whether permanent discoloration has occurred.
Cleaning and odor treatment can address many situations, but some older or chemically altered stains may not be completely removable. When physical damage is also present, repair or restoration may be considered separately.
Residential & Commercial Rug and Carpet Services
All Furniture Services® provides rug and carpet services for homes as well as hotels, restaurants, offices, retailers, designers, property managers and other commercial customers.
Commercial projects may include cleaning, repair or restoration of area rugs and carpeting in guest rooms, lobbies, offices, dining areas and other appropriate spaces.

Rug Cleaning vs. Rug Repair
Cleaning and repair solve different problems. Cleaning addresses appropriate soil, stains and odors, while repair addresses physical damage such as holes, damaged edges, missing fringe, worn areas and structural deterioration.
When a rug requires both, evaluating its physical condition before cleaning can help determine the appropriate sequence of service.
