Rug Cleaning in London

Gentle, colour-tested cleaning for wool, Persian, Oriental and modern rugs โ€” removing embedded dust, stains and odours while protecting the fibres.

Benefits

Why Choose Professional Rug Cleaning?

Rugs trap a surprising amount of grit and dust in their base. Cleaning them with the right method keeps colours bright and fibres soft.

Removes embedded grit

Dry soil and grit work into the base of a rug and slowly wear the fibres.

Protects colours

Colour-fastness testing means the method suits the dyes in your rug.

Refreshes fringes

Fringes are cleaned carefully to lift discolouration and grime.

Reduces odours

Pet, food and damp smells are cleaned out rather than covered up.

FAQs

Rug Cleaning FAQs

Rug cleaning is priced by size, material and condition. Send us the measurements and a photo and we will give you a quote.

Rugs in busy areas benefit from a professional clean every 12 months; rugs in quieter rooms every 18 to 24 months.

Many stains can be removed or greatly reduced. Natural dyes can be sensitive, so we test first and choose a gentle method โ€” we will be honest if a stain is permanent.

Vacuum it if you can and clear the area around it. Let us know about any known damage, loose fringes or previous repairs.

It depends on the rug. Synthetic rugs usually suit hot water extraction; wool and delicate rugs are cleaned with gentler, lower-moisture methods after testing.
