Rugs are not just functional floor coverings; they’re investments that enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home. Over time they can accumulate dirt, dust, stains, and allergens that regular vacuuming alone cannot remove.
Dirt buildup on rugs not only affects their appearance but also impacts air quality in your home, which can affect your health. Professional rug cleaning can be a great solution for homeowners who want to keep their rugs clean and fresh. However, some people may hesitate to hire a professional cleaning service due to concerns about cost. We are breaking down the costs of professional rug cleaning with Caravan Rugs so that you can have a better understanding of what factors influence pricing and why it is a worthwhile investment for your home.
Factors Influencing Professional Rug Cleaning Costs
Size and Type of Rug
The size and type of rug are primary factors determining the cost of professional cleaning services. Larger rugs naturally require more time, labor, and cleaning solution. Additionally, the type of rug, whether it’s wool, silk, synthetic, or a specialty material, influences the cleaning method and cost. Delicate materials like silk often require specialized care which can increase the overall cost.
Rug Construction and Complexity
Intricate oriental rugs require more attention to detail and specialized techniques. We offer the highest quality of service and ensure that your rugs receive the attention they deserve. Caravan Rugs understands the intricacies involved in cleaning different rug constructions and employs tailored methods to ensure each rug is handled with the utmost care and attention.
Additional Services
Caravan Rugs offers additional services such as stain protection, pet odor removal, moth treatment, and rug restoration and repairs. These services come at an extra cost but can enhance the longevity and appearance of your rug, ultimately providing better value for money.
Understanding Different Cleaning Methods
Steam Cleaning
Also known as hot water extraction, steam cleaning involves injecting hot water and cleaning solution into the rug fibers, then extracting the solution along with dirt and contaminants. Caravan Rugs does not recommend the steam cleaning method. While this method of cleaning may seem to help sanitize your rug, this can cause significant damage over time. The delicate fibers of your rug should not be exposed to hot water in this way. If you have any questions about steam cleaning, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions!
Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning methods utilize dry compounds or solvents to lift dirt and stains from rug fibers without the use of water. Dry cleaning is not a process that Caravan Rugs recommends for your area rugs or oriental rugs. Apart from the lack of water and strength to address natural dirt and dust, there are many substances that could spill on your carpet and they don’t all respond well to the same treatment. Caravan Rugs recommends a professional cleaner for your routine and/or emergency rug cleaning needs to ensure it’s done well and right the first time.
Hand Washing
Hand washing your rug is a meticulous cleaning process that involves gently scrubbing the rug with mild detergent and water. It is also the best option for your rug. This method is preferred for delicate oriental rugs and everyday area rugs, ensuring they receive the utmost care and attention to detail.
