Question 1

Why can’t you clean my area rug in my home?

Accepted Answer

Area rugs are constructed very differently from standard wall-to-wall carpets. They often have delicate foundations, unique dyes, and backing materials that react poorly to on-location cleaning methods. Our in-shop process allows for specialized dusting, thorough washing, and controlled drying techniques that are impossible to accomplish in your home, ensuring a truly deep and safe clean without causing damage.

Question 2

Do you offer pickup and delivery for area rugs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We understand that transporting large or heavy area rugs can be a hassle. We offer convenient pickup and delivery services for our local Owatonna customers. Just schedule a time that works for you, and we’ll handle the rest, bringing your rug back fresh and clean.

Question 3

How long does the area rug cleaning process take?

Accepted Answer

The cleaning process for area rugs varies depending on the rug's size, material, and how soiled it is. Typically, standard cleaning takes about 5-7 business days from drop-off or pickup to when it’s ready for return. We'll give you a more precise estimate during the initial inspection when you drop off your rug or when we pick it up.

Question 4

Can you remove pet stains and odors from my area rug?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Will my rug's colors bleed during cleaning?

Accepted Answer

That's a very important concern! Before we begin any cleaning, we conduct careful dye tests on a small, inconspicuous area of your rug. This allows us to determine if your rug's dyes are colorfast and to select the safest cleaning method to prevent any color bleeding or migration. Your rug's vibrant colors are safe with us.

Question 6

What's the difference between area rug cleaning and carpet cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Think of it this way: carpet cleaning is like washing your clothes in a machine, while area rug cleaning is more like dry cleaning a delicate garment. Area rugs often have intricate weaves, delicate fibers like wool or silk, and natural dyes that require a much gentler, more controlled, and specialized in-shop cleaning process to avoid damage and maintain their integrity. In-home carpet cleaning methods are too aggressive for most area rugs.

Question 7

Do you apply a fabric protector to area rugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can! After your rug is freshly cleaned and thoroughly dried, we can apply a high-quality fabric protector. This creates an invisible barrier that helps resist future spills and stains, making cleanup easier and extending the time between professional cleanings. It's an excellent way to safeguard your rug against daily wear and tear.
