Professional-grade drying equipment ensures your rug dries fully and quickly. No damp smell. No mildew risk.
Fibre Protection (Optional)
A protective coating can be applied to help repel stains and make future cleaning easier. Usually €20–€40 extra.

Deep clean plus specialist stain removal. €120–€200+. Worth it for problem rugs.
Our rug had coffee stains and pet odours. We tried everything at home. Professional clean was €140 and it came back looking perfect. Fresh smell. Colours bright again. Wish I'd done it sooner.

Questions
Professional Rug Cleaning FAQ
How often should I have my rug professionally cleaned?
Once or twice a year is ideal for most households. High-traffic rugs may benefit from annual cleaning. Pet owners should clean more frequently. More frequent cleaning keeps your rug fresher longer.
Is DIY rug cleaning cheaper?
Cheaper upfront. You can rent a steam cleaner for €40–€80. But professional equipment is more powerful. Results are significantly better. For valuable or delicate rugs, professional is the only safe option.
How long does it take for the rug to dry?
Typically 4–8 hours with professional drying equipment. In humid conditions it can take longer. Avoid walking on the rug until it is fully dry.
Can antique or delicate rugs be professionally cleaned?
Yes, but they require specialist treatment. Not all cleaners handle antique rugs safely. Inform us of the rug type and condition when booking. Some delicate rugs need hand washing, not steam cleaning.
Can you remove all pet stains?
Most pet stains can be significantly reduced or removed entirely. Older stains that have dried and set are harder. Fresh stains are easier to remove completely. Professional treatment removes odour as well.
