Expert Care for Pet-Stained Rugs

Pets bring joy, companionship, and warmth to our homes, but they can also bring a lot of mess. Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious cat, or any other furry friend, your rugs often bear the brunt of pet-related wear and tear. From pet hair and dander to stains and odors, our specialized rug cleaning services are designed to tackle the toughest pet-related issues, ensuring your rugs remain beautiful and hygienic.

Having a clean rug is essential not only for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your home but also for the health and well-being of your family and pets. Dirty rugs can harbor allergens, bacteria, and odors that affect indoor air quality. Our professional rug cleaning service uses the best rug cleaner for pets to ensure a deep, thorough clean that removes harmful particles and keeps your environment healthy.

Common Pet-Related Rug Problems

  • Pet Hair and Dander: Pets shed fur and dander, which can get deeply embedded in the fibers of your rugs. Regular vacuuming helps, but it often doesn’t reach the deeper layers where allergens can accumulate.

  • Stains and Odors: Accidents happen. Whether it’s a puppy still learning the ropes or an older pet with occasional mishaps, stains and odors can quickly set into your rugs. These can be challenging to remove with household cleaning products alone. This is where our rug cleaner for pet urine services come in handy.

  • Dirt and Mud: Pets love to play outside, but they often bring the outdoors in. Muddy paws can leave stains and dirt trails that are difficult to clean and can cause long-term damage to your rugs.

  • Wear and Tear: Claws and playful behavior can cause snags, tears, and general wear on your rugs. Over time, this can significantly affect the appearance and longevity of your rugs.

Our Pet-Friendly Rug Cleaning Solutions

  • Deep Cleaning: Our advanced cleaning techniques go beyond surface cleaning to remove pet hair, dander, and deeply embedded dirt. We use eco-friendly, pet-safe cleaning solutions that are tough on dirt but gentle on your rugs and pets.

  • Stain and Odor Removal: We specialize in treating and removing tough stains and persistent odors caused by pet accidents. Our professional-grade equipment and cleaning solutions neutralize odors at the source, leaving your rugs smelling fresh and clean. Our rug cleaner for pets is specially formulated to tackle these issues.

  • Damage Repair: If your rug has been damaged by your pet’s claws or playfulness, we offer repair services to restore its original beauty. Our skilled technicians can fix snags, tears, and other damage to extend the life of your rugs.

    Step 1: Pre-Inspection

    While inspecting we look for fading, discoloration, stains, wear and tear, pre-existing damage, color instability, and odors to determine the cleaning ability of each rug, possible urine treatment from pets, and any additional repairs needed.

    Step 2: Dusting

    Dust and particulate matter lying deep within the rug are removed using compressed air and specially designed tools. Foot traffic and dry soil can act like sandpaper on the fiber, and this step is often referred to as “air washing” or “dusting” of the rug.

    Step 3: Pre-Cleaning

    Traffic and heavily soiled areas are pre-treated (discolorations due to wear, fading, or chemical reactions are not reversible).

    Step 4: Agitate Fibers

    Using a continuous flow of cold water, combined with a mild, 7.5 ph-neutral shampoo, we massage deep into the pile of the rug’s fibers which enables us to gently and effectively remove all foreign matter by flushing them out of the rug and keeping them from settling back into the rug again.

    Step 5: Rinse

    To further remove soil and cleaning residue, we rinse multiple times. The first two rinses with cold water remove all cleaning shampoo from the rug. For the third and final rinse, we add lanolin to the rinse process for wool rugs to help restore the natural oil content in the rug.

    Step 6: Excess Water Removal

    We use a centrifuge machine to remove any excess water through an intense and powerful extraction process. Once we have removed as much water as possible, we are ready to move the rug to our climate-controlled drying room.

    Step 7: Climate-Controlled Drying

    A fast and efficient drying method is crucial to eliminate potential mold and mildew. Climate-controlled drying takes place in a gas-heated drying room using a combination of forced air circulation, dehumidifying processes, and heat. Most rugs will dry within 12 to 24 hours.

    Bonus: Final Inspection

    Before your rug makes its way back to you, we perform a final inspection. We don’t hesitate to repeat any steps that might be necessary to provide you with the cleanest rug possible!
