Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers about Expert Cleaning for Every Rug Type — from Dallas Rug Cleaning, free pickup & delivery across DFW.
What types of rugs can you clean?
We clean virtually every kind of area rug, including wool, silk, cotton, synthetic, hand-knotted Oriental and Persian, machine-made, flatweave, and viscose rugs. Each rug is inspected and dye-tested first, then washed by the method its specific fiber and construction call for. That individualized approach is why we can safely handle both everyday and delicate rugs.
How do you clean wool rugs?
Wool rugs are dusted to remove embedded grit, then hand washed with full immersion and dried flat under controlled conditions. Wool holds a lot of dry soil deep in its dense pile, so thorough dusting before washing is critical to a real clean. We keep water temperature and handling appropriate for wool to protect the fibers and dyes.
Can silk rugs be cleaned safely?
Yes, genuine silk rugs can be cleaned safely, but they require gentle, specialized handling because silk is delicate and sensitive to heat and aggressive agitation. We dye-test carefully and use a mild, controlled wash and drying process suited to natural silk. During inspection we also confirm whether a rug is true silk or a viscose imitation, since the two are treated very differently.
Do you clean synthetic and machine-made rugs?
Yes. Synthetic and machine-made rugs clean up very well with our plant process, which removes deep soil that home vacuuming leaves behind. These rugs are durable and typically tolerate full washing without issue. You get the same inspection, immersion cleaning, and controlled drying as any other rug we handle.
How do you know the right method for my specific rug?
Every rug begins with a hands-on inspection to identify its fiber, construction, dyes, and condition, followed by dye-testing before washing. That assessment tells us exactly how to wash, rinse, and dry it safely. Because no two rugs are identical, we match the method to the rug rather than using one process for everything.
