Measure the rug and you know the price band. Wool, viscose and hand-made rugs need cooler water and a slower dry, and an antique or silk rug may be one we decline. Collection and return is possible in parts of each city, so ask with your postcode.

To book, enter your postcode in the card at the top of the page and pick what needs doing; the estimate updates as you go. We call back to confirm the price and a date before anything is booked, and payment is due when the work is done.
Where there is no free parking at the property, or the job is inside the London congestion zone, we add what that costs us and show it in the quote. Every rate we charge is on the prices page.
Rug cleaning at home
Rug cleaning is a wash of the pile matched to the fibre and the dyes, done in your home or, in parts of each city, off-site after collection. We start by checking the rug. The fibre, the backing and the dyes all change how we treat it, so we look before we touch anything wet. A dry pass lifts loose grit and hair out of the pile, then we test a small hidden area for colour-fastness so nothing bleeds once the cleaning solution goes on.
After that we work the right solution through the pile, agitate gently to release the dulling soil that sits down near the base, and rinse and extract. Stubborn marks get spot-treated by hand, which keeps the rug from getting wetter than it needs to be.
Wool, synthetic and delicate rugs
The fibre sets the method. Synthetic rugs in nylon or polypropylene are hard-wearing and take a fairly standard wet clean without much fuss. Wool and other natural fibres are softer and react badly to heat and heavy soaking, so we use cooler water, milder solutions and a slower, more careful dry to protect the pile and stop any shrinkage.
| Fibre | Method | Drying |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic: nylon, polypropylene | Standard wet clean | A few hours |
| Wool | Cooler water, milder solution, gentle agitation | Slower, up to a day for a thick rug |
| Antique, silk or viscose | Low-moisture, or declined if it is not safe | Specialist care |
On-site or collected and returned
Most rugs we clean in your home. We lay protection down, work on the rug where it sits and leave it to dry in place, which suits the majority of everyday wool and synthetic pieces.
Some rugs do better cleaned off-site, where they can be washed and dried flat under controlled conditions. In parts of London, Manchester and Liverpool we can collect a rug and return it once it’s ready. Tell us roughly where you are and we’ll confirm whether collection reaches your address before anything is booked.
Drying and looking after the rug after
Drying matters as much as the wash. A rug left damp can smell or mark the floor beneath it, so we extract as much moisture as we can and set it up to finish drying with good airflow. Wool takes longer than synthetic, and a thick or large rug longer still.
Once it’s dry, a regular vacuum and a quick lift of spills before they settle will keep it looking fresh for far longer between cleans. Turning the rug now and then evens out the wear.

Step 1 of 3: your postcode
Pricing starts from £35 per rug and depends mainly on size, fibre and how soiled the rug is. We give you the figure before any work is booked, so there are no surprises added on afterwards. Larger or heavily soiled rugs cost more, and we’ll tell you why.
Yes. Wool is a natural fibre that dislikes heat and heavy wetting, so it gets cooler water, gentler solutions and a slower dry. Synthetic rugs in nylon or polypropylene are tougher and take a more standard wet clean. We match the method to whatever the rug is made from.
We test a small hidden patch for colour-fastness before cleaning, because some dyes, particularly on older or hand-made rugs, can bleed when wet. If a dye looks unstable we switch to a low-moisture method or talk to you about the risk first. We don’t gamble with a rug’s colour.
We cover London, Manchester, Liverpool and the surrounding areas. Collection and return is available in parts of those regions, though not every postcode. Let us know where you are and we’ll confirm whether we can pick up and drop off, or whether an on-site clean suits you better.
It varies. A thin synthetic rug can feel dry within a few hours, while a thick wool rug may need a day or more, especially in colder or damp weather. We extract as much water as possible and set the rug up with good airflow so it finishes drying evenly.
Often, yes. Fresh pet stains lift more easily than ones that have soaked into the backing and dried, and deep odours that have reached the base of the rug are harder to shift fully. We’ll treat what we find and tell you beforehand how much we expect to remove.
