What Is Professional Area Rug Cleaning?
Professional area rug cleaning is the controlled process of removing deeply embedded soil, allergens, stains, and odor-causing contaminants from rugs using methods specifically selected for the rug’s fiber type, construction, and condition.
Unlike routine vacuuming or in-home spot cleaning, professional area rug cleaning:
Removes dry particulate soil trapped deep in the rug foundation
Protects fibers, dyes, and backing materials
Restores softness, color clarity, and appearance
Helps extend the usable life of the rug
Dr Steemer performs area rug cleaning using inspection-led procedures, professional washing and extraction systems, and IICRC-aligned standards suitable for both residential and commercial rugs.
Why Professional Area Rug Cleaning Matters
Area rugs act as filters, trapping dust, grit, allergens, pet dander, and airborne contaminants. Over time, these particles settle deep within the rug foundation where vacuuming cannot reach.
As soil accumulates:
Fibers wear down due to constant abrasion
Colors appear dull or uneven
Odors develop from trapped contaminants
Allergens and bacteria build up inside the rug
Without professional cleaning, this hidden soil gradually causes premature fiber damage and color loss. Regular professional area rug cleaning helps preserve appearance, improve indoor hygiene, and protect the value of your rug.
Professional area rug cleaning:
Restores color and texture
Reduces allergens and odors
Protects fibers from premature wear
Extends rug lifespan
Helps avoid costly replacement
Our Professional Area Rug Cleaning Process
Every area rug cleaning service begins with inspection and method selection to ensure safe, effective results.
Inspection and Rug Evaluation
We examine:
Fiber type (natural or synthetic)
Construction method (handmade or machine-made)
Dye stability and color sensitivity
Soil level, stains, and odors
This allows us to determine the safest and most effective cleaning approach.
Dust Removal and Soil Extraction
Dry particulate soil is removed before washing to prevent fiber abrasion during cleaning. This step is essential for preserving rug integrity.
Washing and Cleaning
Professional cleaning solutions and controlled washing methods are used to break down embedded soil and contaminants while protecting fibers and dyes.
Rinsing and Moisture Control
Thorough rinsing removes residues, followed by controlled moisture extraction to prevent shrinkage, odor, or fiber damage.
Drying and Final Inspection
Rugs are dried under controlled conditions and inspected to ensure cleanliness, appearance, and readiness for use.

Yes. Dr Steemer uses fabric-safe, residue-free cleaning solutions that are safe for households with pets and children when properly dried.
While many stains can be significantly improved or removed, results depend on stain type, age, dye stability, and rug material. Some permanent stains may not be fully removable without damaging fibers.
