Rug Cleaning

We are not the cheapest company and have never aimed to be, we are also not the most expensive. We offer high quality work at fair prices. We will provide you with a free fully inclusive and firm quote before work starts, we don’t hide any part of the price and just charge what we quoted for. We can often quote via the phone or by email but will need the sizes of the rugs and to ask a few questions. We also offer inspection / quote visits, these visits are free and you have no obligation to use us after. It will be carried out by an expert cleaner and not a pushy salesperson. 

Extra help against future soiling. For those of you wishing to give extra protection for your rugs we can apply a stain protection after cleaning. This works by surrounding each fibre in the rug with a protective invisible coating which makes the rug resistant to everyday soiling, water-based and oil-based stains. This protective coating does not affect the look or feel of your rugs. Stainguarding (or "protection") does not protect against everything but is a useful tool to help keep your rugs looking clean for longer.

Dust and dirt within your rug creates a sandpaper effect rubbing against the rug fibres scratching and wearing them out. This ages them before their time and can lead to 'bald' patches in the pile - with many rugs being beautiful works of art this is a real shame. Rothwell's rug cleaning service is not just designed for the immediate better appearance of a rug but all aspects are also done with the long term health of the rug in mind.

We often see contaminated rugs that have odour issues such as urine, pet odours or general musty smells. These can be treated effectively within our rug washing pool by adding a variety of bacteria killing products safe for the use on rugs. Urine and pet odours we know we can always remove, occasionally rugs with rubber backings can have smells from a latex backing that might not be removable but this is rare. If you have a rug with an odour problem please let us know. Urine can also destabilise dyes so please inform us of any urine contamination.

Of course silk rugs (and viscose) take extra care and attention in both cleaning and drying. They often need lots of extra grooming both after cleaning and after drying. Silk rugs need to be cleaned in a way that the fibres are evenly wet to prevent pile distortion. We love cleaning silk rugs as the look and feel after cleaning can be truly breathtaking as the colours become refreshed.
