Wool, silk, synthetic, and oriental rugs in East Columbia and Howard County — cleaned on-site with fiber-safe chemistry.
We identify the rug — wool, silk, synthetic, oriental, hand-knotted — and test the dyes for colorfastness before any chemistry touches the foundation. The right method begins with the right diagnosis.
Both sides where possible. Dry soil is the abrasive that wears rugs down — we extract it first so it doesn't turn to mud during cleaning. Fringe and edges handled by hand.
Fiber-safe spotters worked into pet zones, food spills, body oils, and high-traffic lanes. Each spot is dwell-treated so it lifts cleanly without aggressive scrubbing on delicate fibers.
Cleaned right where it lives — no pickup, no week-long wait. Controlled-moisture hot-water extraction lifts embedded soil out of the foundation without flooding the rug or the floor underneath.
Included on every rug. Choose from several fragrances — we neutralize odors at the source rather than masking them, so the rug smells genuinely clean.
Recommended for rugs in living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways. An invisible barrier shields against future stains and spills — your rug stays newer, longer.
