As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and comfortable home environment. With our specialized cleaning services, we treat your area rugs with the same care and attention as if they were our own. Trust us to breathe new life into your rugs, ensuring a fresh, inviting atmosphere for you to enjoy.
We do this with every customer to address any areas of concern, take measurements, determine the best cleaning process for the carpet and set clear expectations of results prior to cleaning. (A black light will also be used to identify pet areas to be treated.)
We use floor/corner protection & our Orange Seal-A-Door covering as needed.
We will vacuum using our HEPA vacuum so dust and any harmful particulates do not become airborne. This is also done to lift the pile of the carpet to prepare it for pre-spray and cleaning.
We use a pre-spray to break down any soiling or sticky substances left behind by spills or foot traffic that were not removed with vacuuming.
For heavily soiled areas or heavy traffic areas we may decide to scrub in the pre-spray (with a Counter Rotating Brush Machine or "CRB").
We clean using a truck mounted Hot Water Extraction System (commonly referred to as "steam cleaning") and specialty cleaning tools along with cleaning agents designed specifically for your carpet type.
This is applied/re-applied after the carpet has been cleaned.
We will then rake through the carpet to lift the pile and help the carpet to dry evenly.

We typically take area rugs back to our shop in Somonauk. This ensures that the floor underneath your area rug does not get ruined (typically hardwood) and also allows us to clean both sides of the rug, treat any pet spots, apply carpet protector, and control the dry time. When the rug is dry, we'll wrap it in plastic and schedule a delivery.
It really depends on the time of year and how busy our schedule is, but turnaround time could be about 1 week January-March and about 2 weeks April-December. We will always let you know if it's ready sooner than anticipated. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate!
There should be a tag on the back corner of the area rug that states the size and fiber type. This is always helpful so we know for transportation of the rug and to confirm how it needs to be cleaned.
There are so many kinds of area rugs, it can be overwhelming which one to choose. Though it's easiest to choose based on the appearance, it's also recommended that you look at the fiber type so you know what you're signing up for in the long-term. Our recommendations are based on how area rugs clean up when using either a professional hot water extraction method (steam cleaning) or a professional dry cleaning method.
Nylon, Polypropylene and Polyester are best if you have kids and pets since they clean up really well with hot water extraction.
Wool is another great one, but if you have kids or pets we don't recommend it. Wool tends to hold stains and odors since it's a natural fiber.
Cotton rugs are also nice, but again, tend to hold stains.
We cannot clean viscose or other paper-like rugs and do not recommend them for this reason.
For food and drink spots and spills, we recommend Spot Out. You'll receive a sample in your good bag at the end of your cleaning and when you run out, we sell a larger size.
For pet accidents, we recommend Nature's Miracle or Furry Freshness. Neither of these will affect the carpet color or interact with our cleaning process like some store-bought products do. So try these first and if you can't get it out, give us a call for a cleaning.
