Rug Cleaning Explained: Fast Refresh vs. the Ultimate Clean
You’ve got a gorgeous rug. You’ve also got kids, pets and a sprinkle of everyday life settling into the fibers.
So now you’re wondering—what’s the best way to clean my rug and make it last as long as possible?
When it comes to professional rug cleaning, there are really two main options:
In-home topical cleaning — a quick, convenient refresh.
Ultimate deep cleaning offsite — a “down to the fibers” overhaul.
Sometimes your rug needs a facelift, and an in-home effort is just the right level to bring it back to life. And other times, it’s worth your rug being gone for a bit so it can experience a top-to-bottom clean.

In-Home Topical Cleaning: The Fast & Fuss-Free Refresh
If you’re hosting soon and don’t have enough time for your rug to be back before the celebration, this is your move. We come to you, give your rug a targeted surface clean, zap any obvious spots and—boom—it’s looking fresher without ever leaving your floor.
Why you might choose it:
It’s quick: We’re in and out the same day. No waiting for pick-up, no wondering when your rug will be back. And thanks to our hot water extraction technique, it’ll be dry in hours.
Perfect for upkeep: Ideal between deeper cleanings or before hosting, when you want it to look good and smell fresh in short period of time.
Just one note: if your rug is delicate, antique or made with specialty fibers, it’s better off going off-site. Those pieces need more TLC than we can safely give in your home—and we’ve got more customizable options for cleaning at our rug spa.
Ultimate Deep Cleaning Offsite: The Full Reset
If you haven’t cleaned your rug in a year or more, this is your sign to send it away for a full reset. Especially if its day-to-day looks anything like surviving red wine spills, pets, allergy season or that time someone accidentally spilled their entire plate of food in the living room.
Here’s why:
Specialized care for delicate oriental rugs: Oriental, handwoven or fine-fiber rugs get the gentle, customized treatment they need.
Stubborn stain & odor removal: With specialized spot treatments, UV technology and gentle pressure washing, we tackle pet accidents, smoke smells and deep-down dirt like we’ve got a score to settle.
All-over clean: Being at our rug facility lets us clean every part of the rug—top, bottom and fringe—without worrying about damaging the floors under it.
Advanced gear: Think industrial dusters, shampoo massages, pressure washes and climate-controlled drying rooms. Your rug gets the works.
So… Which One’s Right for You?
Hosting a dinner party in two days? In-home topical cleaning will get you across the finish line.
Just rescued Grandma’s Persian from 20 years in storage? Ultimate deep cleaning offsite will bring it back to life.
The good news? We offer both—at select locations—and if you’re still not sure, our techs will help you figure out the smartest choice based on your rug’s type, condition and history.
Bottom line:
Whether your rug just needs a light touch-up or a full-scale intervention, we’ve got the process, the tools and the experience to make it look its best.
