We Specialize in All Fiber Types

Different fibers require different pH levels and washing techniques. We identify your rug before we clean.

Oriental & Persian

High-value wool rugs need cold water immersion and dye stabilizers to prevent bleeding colors.

Silk & Viscose

Extremely delicate fibers. We use specialized low-moisture techniques to maintain the sheen and texture.

Synthetic & Shag

Deep pile rugs trap pounds of dirt. Our tumbling duster removes debris that vacuums can't reach.

Pet Urine Damage

We don't just mask odors. We submerge the rug to flush out crystallized urine salts from the foundation.

The Spa Treatment

Why Off-Site Washing is Better

Cleaning a wool rug inside your home is like taking a shower with your clothes on. To truly clean a rug, you must wash it from both sides.

The "Badger" Dusting

Before wetting, we vibrate the back of the rug to shake out pounds of dry soil that vacuums miss.

Full Submersion Wash

We submerge the rug in a "wash pit" with gentle flowing water, ensuring 100% of the fibers are rinsed clean.

Controlled Drying

We dry rugs flat or hanging in a temperature-controlled room to prevent shrinkage and browning.

Our "Urine Rescue" System

When pets pee on rugs, the urine dries into crystals deep in the cotton foundation. Steam cleaning activates the smell but doesn’t remove it.

The Difference is in the Details

Why Reno Trusts Us With Fine Textiles

We don’t just “clean” rugs; we restore them. Here is why our off-site facility delivers results that in-home cleaners simply cannot match.

100% Submersion Wash

In-home cleaners only clean the top 20% of fibers. Our wash pit flushes contaminants from the front and back, removing years of impacted dust.

Dye Bleed Protection

Red dyes in Persian rugs are notorious for running. We use specialized acidic rinses and dye-locking agents to keep colors crisp and vibrant.

Hand-Detailed Fringe

We scrub fringes by hand to remove grey soil lines without using harsh bleaches that can rot the cotton foundation strings over time.

We Do The Heavy Lifting

Don't break your back rolling up a heavy 9x12 rug. Our uniformed technicians will move your furniture, roll the rug, and take it away for you.

OFF-SITE IMMERSION WASHING

Experience the deepest clean possible for your textiles. Our immersion wash process flushes out trapped dust, dirt, and allergens from the backing that regular vacuums miss, restoring the vibrant colors and soft texture of your rugs without damaging the weave.

PET URINE & ODOR REMOVAL

Accidents happen, but they don’t have to stay forever. We use specialized enzymatic treatments to break down pet urine crystals and eliminate tough odors at the source. This ensures your rugs are not just visually clean, but hygienically sanitized for your home.

DELICATE WOOL & SILK CARE

Fine materials require an expert touch. We use pH-balanced solutions specifically designed for wool, silk, and natural fibers. Our gentle process prevents dye bleeding and shrinkage while delivering a thorough clean that preserves the integrity of your heirloom pieces.

FRINGE CLEANING & BRIGHTENING

Don’t let dingy fringe detract from your rug’s beauty. We hand-detail every inch of the fringe, carefully removing soil and discoloration. Our meticulous process restores that crisp, bright edge that frames your rug perfectly, making it look new again.

STAIN PROTECTION COATING

Extend the life of your clean rug with our premium fiber protection. This invisible barrier repels liquid spills and blocks dry soil from settling deep into the fibers, giving you time to blot up accidents and keeping your rug cleaner for longer.

MOTH TREATMENT & PREVENTION

Wool and natural fiber rugs are prime targets for damaging insects. We apply a specialized moth deterrent that makes the fibers unappealing to pests. This preventative treatment protects your investment from larvae damage without leaving harsh chemical odors or residues behind.

Elizabeth W.

Old Southwest

“I was terrified to hand over my grandmother’s antique Persian rug because the dyes are so sensitive. They explained their immersion process clearly and put me at ease. The rug came back looking vibrant, and the wool feels so soft again. True professionals.”

Jason M.

Spanish Springs

“I thought I was going to have to throw out our living room rug after our dog kept marking the same spot. I tried cleaning it myself, but the smell wouldn’t go. These guys took it away, treated it, and it honestly has zero scent now. Worth every penny.”

Amanda S.

Arrowcreek

“The rug in our entry was looking dingy and the white fringe had turned completely grey from foot traffic. I didn’t realize how dirty it actually was until they brought it back. The fringe is sparkling white again and the colors really pop. It lights up the whole room.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why can't just steam clean my rug in my living room?

We can steam clean synthetic rugs in-home, but for Wool or Oriental rugs, in-home cleaning is risky. It can trap moisture causing dry rot, damage hardwood floors, and fails to remove the deep dust impacted in the foundation. Our off-site immersion process is the only way to safely flush out 100% of the soil and urine.

How long will you have my rug?

Our standard turnaround time is 5 to 7 business days. This allows ample time for dusting, washing, fringe detailing, and proper controlled drying. If you have a specific deadline (like a party or event), please let us know, and we will try to accommodate a rush service.

Can you really get the dog pell smell out?

Yes, guaranteed. While steam cleaning often makes urine smells worse (by activating the crystals), our full immersion wash pit allows us to soak the rug in enzymes that digest the urine salts completely. We flush fresh water through the rug until the water runs clear and odorless.

Is pick-up and delivery really free?

Yes! For most customers in Reno and Sparks with a minimum order size (typically $150), pick-up and delivery are complimentary. We do the heavy lifting—moving furniture and rolling the rug for you. A small fuel surcharge may apply for outlying areas like Truckee or Carson City.

Mu rug's white fringe is grey/dirty. Can you fix it?

Yes. Fringe detailing is included in our premium wash. We scrub the cotton tassels by hand to remove the grey soil line. We avoid harsh bleaches that can rot the fiber; instead, we use specialized cotton brighteners to restore the natural white look safely.

Will the colors of my persian rug run on bleed?

We test every rug for dye stability before touching it with water. If we detect unstable dyes (common in older Persian rugs), we use a dye-locking agent and cold water processing to freeze the colors in place, ensuring the reds don’t bleed into the white areas.

Do I need a rug pad underneath?

We highly recommend it. A quality pad protects your hard floor from scratches, prevents the rug from slipping (a safety hazard), and allows the rug to “breathe,” which prevents dust from grinding into the backing. We can cut a custom-sized pad for you upon delivery.
