Final scope always follows a free, upfront quote.
Wool, jute, silk-blend and synthetic rugs all react differently to moisture and chemicals.
Dyes tested before full cleaning, especially on hand-knotted or vintage pieces.
Loose or delicate fringe cleaned without further fraying.
Priced by rug size and fiber, not a mystery flat fee.
Wool needs a gentler approach than synthetic olefin or polypropylene.
Older or hand-dyed rugs get a colour-fastness check before full cleaning.
Larger rugs may need on-location cleaning rather than transport.
An area rug is a standalone textile, often with fringe, natural dyes or a weave that reacts differently to water than glued-down broadloom carpet. Wool rugs especially can shrink or felt if cleaned the wrong way, so we check fiber and test for colour-fastness first.
Common in Calgary living rooms and entryways over hardwood or laminate.
Rugs are simple to rotate for the season, unlike wall-to-wall carpet.
Entryway rugs pick up salt and grit a quick vacuum doesn't fully lift.
Carpet Experts Calgary cleans area rugs across Calgary – wool, synthetic, and hand-knotted pieces – using a method matched to the specific fiber rather than one generic rug wash.
Calgary's dry air is gentle on rugs in storage but unforgiving during cleaning: natural fibers like wool release moisture fast, which is good for drying but risky for shrinkage and dye migration if the wash is wrong for the fiber. That's why fiber identification comes before any cleaning decision – a hand-knotted wool rug, a viscose blend and a polypropylene rug from a big-box store each get a completely different process.
Smaller rugs can be cleaned on site alongside a carpet cleaning visit. Larger, delicate or heavily soiled rugs do better cleaned off-site where they can be washed, rinsed and dried flat under control. We'll tell you which route fits your rug when you send us a photo and rough size with your quote request.
Yes, with the right method – wool is cleaned differently than synthetic fiber specifically to avoid shrinkage and felting.
Most rugs are cleaned on location. Larger or heavily soiled pieces may be discussed case by case.
Often, yes – ask us about pairing rug cleaning with our pet stain and odor treatment for the affected area.
