Wool, synthetic and shaggy rugs
Wool, synthetic and shaggy rugs, cleaned with a method that suits the fibre. We check the rug and test the colours before anything gets wet.
A rug isn't just loose carpet. Many are woven or hand-knotted, some use natural dyes, and the backing can be cotton, jute or latex. Each reacts differently to water and cleaning products.
Rugs also sit in the busiest spots: under the dining table, in the hallway, beside the couch. Grit works down into the pile and wears the fibres, and spills soak through to the floor underneath.
That's why we check the fibre, the backing and the dyes first, then choose how much water and which products to use.
Rugs vary more than carpet, so every rug is checked before we choose how to clean it.
We price the whole job, not per hour, so you know what it costs before we start.
$50–$100

From $100

Prices include GST. Your exact price depends on the size of the rug, the fibre and any stains. We confirm it before any work starts, and the quote is free.
Every rug gets checked before we choose how to clean it.
Hard-wearing and slow to soil, but sensitive to heat and harsh products. Cleaned gently, with less water.
Polypropylene, polyester and nylon rugs handle cleaning well and dry faster.
Long pile hides grit, so they get a thorough dry vacuum before any cleaning.
Thin woven rugs where dye bleed is the main risk, so the colour test matters most.
Checked carefully first. Valuable or antique pieces are best washed by a specialist.
Easily damaged by water. We'll look first and tell you honestly if it's not safe to clean on site.
Rugs pick up the same stains as carpet, plus a few of their own. Here's what usually improves, and what might not.
Spilt something on a rug? Blot from the outside in with a clean white cloth. Don't scrub, and don't pour water on it: too much water can make some dyes run.
What to know before you book, from fibre types to drying.
Wall-to-wall carpet is fixed down and usually synthetic. Rugs are loose, often woven or hand-knotted, and can be wool, cotton, jute, silk or viscose, each with its own dyes and backing. That's why every rug gets its own check: the fibre, the backing, and a colour test before any water touches it.
Yes, carefully. Wool cleans well when the products are wool-friendly, the water isn't too hot and the rug isn't over-wet. Too much heat or a harsh cleaner can shrink wool, make dyes run or leave brown marks, so we test first and keep the moisture low.
Rugs are usually priced by size, and the fibre matters too: a synthetic rug is quicker to clean than a wool or hand-knotted one, and heavy stains or pet accidents take extra time. Small and medium rugs are usually $50–$100 each, including GST. Tell us the size and what the rug is made of, and you'll get a clear price before we start.
Most rugs dry within a few hours to a day, depending on their thickness, the weather and airflow. Lifting a corner or running a fan speeds it up. Only put the rug back, and the furniture on it, once it's completely dry, because a damp rug can mark a timber floor.
Silk, viscose (art silk) and valuable antique or hand-knotted rugs are best washed in a specialist rug workshop, where they can be fully washed and dried under control. If a rug isn't safe to clean on site, we'll say so before we start rather than risk it.
Vacuum it regularly, including the underside now and then, and turn it every six months or so to even out wear and sun fading. A rug pad stops it slipping and reduces wear. Blot spills from the outside in, and don't soak the rug or use strong household products on it.
Tell us the size of the rug and what it's made of, if you know. A photo of the label helps.
Fibre, backing and dyes checked, with a colour test on a hidden corner.
Dry dirt vacuumed out, spots pre-treated, then a clean that suits the rug. Fringes are done by hand.
Most rugs are dry within a few hours to a day, depending on thickness and airflow.

Yes, most rugs are cleaned where they are. We need some clear floor space and a nearby power point.
Yes. We check the fibre and test the colours first, then use gentle products and less water.
Usually a few hours to a day, depending on the rug's thickness, the weather and airflow.
Fresh accidents usually come out well. Old urine can soak into the backing, so the smell may fade rather than go completely. We'll tell you what to expect before we start.
These fibres are easily damaged by water. We'll look at the rug first, and if it's not safe to clean on site, we'll tell you and suggest a specialist.
No. We clean rugs at your place, so there's nothing to drop off or pick up. If a rug isn't suitable for cleaning on site, we'll tell you when we quote.
We price the whole job, not per hour. Small and medium rugs are usually $50–$100 per rug, and larger rugs start from $100, including GST. Your exact price depends on the size of the rug, what it's made of and how much stain treatment it needs. We confirm it before any work starts, and the quote is free.
For most rugs, yes. A professional clean lifts the grit that wears the fibres and treats stains without making dyes run. For an inexpensive synthetic rug, a good vacuum and spot cleaning may be enough, and we'll tell you so.
It's risky. Hire machines can over-wet wool and push dirt into the backing, and some household products make dyes run. If you do try, test a hidden corner first, use as little water as possible and let it dry fully.
