Searching for rug cleaning that actually understands fiber and fringe? That is exactly what we built this page around.
Rug Cleaning in Medford, Oregon
We clean area rugs, Oriental and Persian rugs, and antique rugs for homes across Medford and the Rogue Valley. If you have looked for rug cleaning and found mostly wall-to-wall carpet companies that treat rugs as an afterthought, that is the gap we built this service around. Wool and silk rugs are not cleaned the same way as wall-to-wall carpet. We identify the fiber, test for dye stability, and clean with the method your specific rug can handle. Drop-off and pickup are both available.
Why Rugs Need a Different Process Than Carpet
Why Rugs Are Different
Wall-to-wall carpet is attached to a subfloor and cleaned in place. A rug is a freestanding textile, often with a woven foundation, fringe, and dyes that were never designed to handle the same equipment used on fixed carpet. Cleaning a wool or silk rug with the wrong method can cause dye bleeding, fringe yellowing, foundation shrinkage, or color loss that cannot be undone.
How We Test First
Before we clean any rug, we check the fiber content and test dye stability in an inconspicuous spot, then choose a method based on what that specific rug can safely handle.
Rug Wash Done Right, Not Just a Quick Rinse
If you have been looking for someone who treats a hand-knotted rug differently than a bathmat, that instinct is correct. A real rug wash means dusting out embedded dry soil first, testing dyes, then washing with a method matched to the fiber, not a one-size-fits-all spray-and-vacuum pass.
Rugs We Clean
- Oriental rugs, hand-knotted and machine-made
- Persian rugs, including antique and inherited pieces
- Wool area rugs
- Synthetic area rugs, including polypropylene and nylon
- Silk and silk-blend rugs, requiring the most careful handling
- Braided and natural fiber rugs, including jute and sisal
If You Inherited a Rug You Are Afraid to Clean
That hesitation is reasonable. A hand-knotted rug passed down in a family is often worth far more than its resale price, and the fear of ruining it stops a lot of people from getting it properly cleaned for years. Ask us how we handle a specific rug before deciding anything. We will tell you honestly what the fiber and dyes can handle, and if a rug needs a specialist beyond our capability, we will say so rather than risk it.
Carpet and Rug Cleaning Near Me, Handled by One Team
A lot of Medford homes need carpet and rug cleaning in the same visit, a living room rug sitting over wall-to-wall carpet, for instance. We handle both on the same appointment when it makes sense, so you are not coordinating two separate companies for one room.
Drop-Off and Pickup
Smaller rugs can be dropped off for cleaning. For larger area rugs, we can arrange pickup and delivery. Either way, your rug is cleaned off-site with proper drying time, then returned once it is fully dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean oriental and Persian rugs?
Yes. We test fiber and dye stability before cleaning any oriental or Persian rug, and use methods appropriate to wool, silk, or synthetic fibers. Drop-off service is available, and pickup can be arranged for larger rugs.
How do I know if my rug is wool or synthetic?
We can identify fiber type as part of our assessment before cleaning. In general, wool feels warmer and denser to the touch, while synthetic fibers like polypropylene feel cooler and more uniform. We confirm before choosing a cleaning method rather than guessing.
Will cleaning cause my rug’s colors to bleed or fade?
We test dye stability in an inconspicuous spot before cleaning any rug with color. This catches unstable dyes before they become a problem across the whole piece.
How much does rug cleaning cost?
Rug cleaning is typically priced per square foot, with wool, oriental, and hand-knotted rugs priced higher than synthetic rugs due to the hand-cleaning process involved. See our pricing guide for general ranges, or contact us for an exact quote on your rug.
