Area Rug Cleaning Done Right in Pasadena

This home had several rugs spread across hardwood floors throughout - a large Persian-style rug in the main room, a detailed medallion rug by the fireplace, and a runner down the hallway. Nice rugs. The kind you don't want to mess up by using the wrong method or too much water.

That's exactly the challenge with cleaning rugs on wood floors. Too aggressive and you risk moisture seeping under the rug and damaging the hardwood. Not thorough enough and you're just moving dirt around. We've seen both go wrong. The right approach takes a little more care and the right equipment - which is what we brought to this Pasadena home.

Each rug got cleaned individually, with attention to the pile direction and the type of soil we were pulling out. These patterned rugs are great at hiding buildup, but they hold onto it just the same. Getting the soil out without over-wetting the backing or leaving residue behind is the whole game.

The results speak for themselves. Colors came back looking sharp, the fringe on the larger rug was clean, and the floors underneath were left untouched. That's exactly what a homeowner with nice rugs on hardwood wants to hear.

Rugs on wood floors need a specific touch. If yours are due for a cleaning - whether it's a single runner or a whole house full of area rugs - we know how to handle them the right way.
