Why Choose Us for Your Rugs?

Rugs deserve specialist care. Unlike fitted carpets, many rugs are handmade, dyed with natural pigments, or constructed from delicate fibres that can be easily damaged by the wrong cleaning method. At Supreme Furnishings, we understand these differences and treat every rug with the individual attention it deserves.

Whether it's a valuable antique rug passed down through generations or a modern designer piece, we use fibre-specific techniques and eco-friendly products to deliver a deep, safe clean. Every rug is inspected, tested for colourfastness, and cleaned using the most appropriate method for its material and construction.

Our Rug Cleaning Process

Every rug clean follows a meticulous four-step process designed to deliver outstanding results without compromising your rug's integrity.

1

Rug Assessment

We begin with a careful hands-on inspection of your rug — checking the weave, fibre type, dye stability and any areas of damage or heavy soiling. This is essential for selecting the safest and most effective cleaning approach for each individual rug.

2

Dust & Debris Removal

Before any wet cleaning begins, we thoroughly remove dry soil, dust and grit from the rug fibres. This step alone can remove up to 80% of the contaminants trapped deep within the pile, and prevents them from turning into mud during the wash.

3

Gentle Deep Clean

We apply a fibre-appropriate cleaning solution and use controlled extraction methods to lift out embedded dirt, stains and allergens. For delicate rugs, we use low-moisture or dry-cleaning techniques to avoid any risk of colour bleeding or shrinkage.

4

Drying & Finishing

Your rug is carefully dried in a controlled environment to prevent colour migration or distortion. Once dry, we groom the pile to restore its natural texture and direction, and carry out a final quality check before returning it to you.

Types of Rugs We Clean

Whatever your rug is made from or wherever it was crafted, we have the expertise to clean it safely and bring it back to life.

Persian & Oriental Rugs

Hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs are works of art that require specialist knowledge. We understand the unique dyes, weaves and fibres used in these rugs and clean them with the utmost care to preserve their beauty and value.

Wool Rugs

Wool is naturally resilient but sensitive to heat and harsh chemicals. We use pH-balanced, low-temperature methods to deep-clean wool rugs without risking shrinkage, felting or colour loss.

Silk & Silk Blend Rugs

Silk rugs are exceptionally delicate and demand a gentle, expert approach. We use specialist dry-cleaning techniques and carefully controlled moisture levels to clean silk safely without damaging its lustrous sheen.

Antique & Heirloom Rugs

Antique rugs may have fragile fibres, faded dyes or areas of wear. We assess each piece individually and use the gentlest methods available to clean and preserve these irreplaceable treasures.

Modern & Designer Rugs

Contemporary rugs come in a huge variety of materials — from viscose and bamboo silk to blended synthetics. We identify the exact composition and tailor our cleaning method to achieve the best results without damage.

Shaggy & High-Pile Rugs

Deep pile rugs trap dirt, dust and allergens far below the surface where vacuuming cannot reach. Our extraction methods penetrate deep into the pile to lift out hidden contaminants and restore that fresh, fluffy feel.

Rug Cleaning FAQs

Got a question about rug cleaning? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more help, just give us a call.

Rugs — particularly hand-knotted, antique or silk rugs — require far more delicate handling than fitted carpets. The dyes may be less stable, the fibres more sensitive, and the construction more fragile. We assess each rug individually and choose a cleaning method that suits its specific materials and condition, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes, we carry out most rug cleaning on-site in your home. For certain rugs that require specialist workshop treatment — such as heavily soiled antique pieces or delicate silk rugs — we can arrange collection and return. We'll always discuss the best option with you during the assessment.
A typical rug takes between 30 and 60 minutes to clean on-site, depending on its size and condition. Drying times vary by fibre type and thickness — most rugs are dry within 4–8 hours. We can set up air movers to speed up the drying process.
We always perform a colourfastness test before any cleaning begins. If we detect any risk of dye bleeding, we adjust our method accordingly — using dry-cleaning techniques or very controlled moisture levels. Our priority is to clean your rug safely, and we'll always be upfront about what to expect.
We carry specialist treatments for a wide range of rug stains including tea, coffee, red wine, pet urine and food spills. While we can't guarantee the removal of every stain — particularly old or set-in marks — our success rate is very high. We'll always give you an honest assessment before we start.
We recommend professional rug cleaning every 12–24 months, depending on foot traffic and whether you have pets or children. Rugs in high-traffic areas or homes with allergies benefit from more frequent cleaning. Regular professional care extends the life of your rug and keeps it looking its best.
Yes, we can apply a specialist fibre protector after cleaning that helps repel spills and makes future stains easier to remove. This is particularly worthwhile for rugs in living rooms, dining rooms or hallways where spills are more likely.
