How Much Does Area Rug Cleaning Cost?

Can You Treat Pet Stains And Odor?
Yes. Accidents from pets, especially pet urine, can become a nightmare for fine area rugs. The alkaline salts in pet urine absorb moisture from the air and the pet urine never completely dries. It becomes a feeding ground for bacteria, which causes odor, staining and discoloration. Minor conditions may sometimes be addressed with a combination of germicidal and enzyme surface treatments. Major conditions can often require pad replacement and floor treatment in addition to treating and cleaning the rug.

What Does Your Process Look Like When You Clean My Fine Rugs?
The Rug Ranger Process Consists of The Following Steps:
Thorough inspection – We check the rug’s size, type, colors, odors, soil conditions, overall condition of construction of rug, condition of the fibers, fringe, edges and face. Dusting/Vacuum – Our customers are amazed at the amount of sand and grit that comes out of their rugs. Removing sand and dirt is important because this grit acts as an abrasive that cuts and shreds the rug fibers. Eventually, the fibers break, and this damage is irreversible. Address Problem Areas – Spots caused by urine, food, oil etc are worked on next. In addition to liquid remedies, we employ the sun, shade, heat and many other natural elements to fix the problem.
Rugs with urine problems get flood washed in our “rug pool”. After a good soak, the water is extracted and the rug gets a thorough shampoo and a cleansing rinse. Cleaning. Over the years we have found that there is no “one size fits all” method when it comes to cleaning rugs. We decide what type of cleaning to use depending on the type of rug, the problem it has and the type of soil.
The Fringe – The fringing is brushed, untangled and straightened out, then shampooed and given a final grooming.
Grooming and Drying – The final step is to lightly brush so the nap is laying flat and the fringe is untangled. Drying happens in our custom drying room, to maintain the shape.
Inspection – At this point we determine if the rug is finished or if there are areas that need additional work and attention. If necessary, we go through this process multiple times in order to give the best results possible.
Protection – If requested, we apply fabric protector to repel spots and stains.
Area rug padding – Many customers enjoy using a rug pad to keep the rug in place, create a cushion, and protect against excess wear.
Roll and Deliver – Come to our shop or we will bring it back to you, and place it right where you want it!
