A good rug anchors a room, but it also collects dust, pet hair, spills and grit from every visitor. Vacuuming removes the surface dirt, and the grit at the base keeps wearing the fibers down. A careful professional clean removes the dirt that builds up in the base and restores the color and softness of the pile.
What rug cleaning covers
We clean area rugs, runners and decorative rugs made from wool, cotton, synthetic fibers and blends. Each rug is treated by fiber and dye, not by a single method for everything. Rugs with fragile fringes or old damage get extra care, and we tell you about any risks before we start. Rugs that are too large or too fragile to clean in your home can be discussed for pickup when you request your quote.
How we clean
We begin by checking the rug’s fiber, backing and dye, and we test a hidden spot. Then we vacuum and shake out loose debris, because grit cuts the fibers during cleaning. Stains are pre-treated with products that suit the fiber. The main clean is gentle and controlled, and the rinse removes the cleaning product completely so the rug does not stiffen. We dry the rug flat or on a rack, and we confirm the result with you.
Who it is for
Homeowners with area rugs in living rooms and dining rooms, renters who need a clean before move-out, owners of pets and children, and anyone whose rug has lost its color or softness. Rugs also benefit from cleaning before they are stored for a season.
Drying and preparation
Let us know what the rug is made from if you know it, and tell us about pet accidents, stains you tried to treat and any damage. Please clear the floor under and around the rug. A rug should dry completely before it goes back on a hard floor, because trapped moisture can cause odors or mildew.
Why choose Lima Green
Every rug job starts with a custom quote, so you know the cost before we visit. We are a local, trained team based in Bridgeport, CT. If a spot did not lift as we described, our return guarantee means we come back and work on it again.
