About This Service
Rugs need a cleaning approach matched to how they are made.
Two rugs that appear similar can behave very differently when cleaned. Fibre type, backing, dyes, age, fringe and previous treatments all matter.
Everyday synthetic rugs may suit a different process from delicate, handmade, natural-fibre or unstable-dye pieces. Unsuitable rugs should be referred for specialist care rather than treated with the wrong method.
Service matched to the surfaceFinal recommendations depend on material, condition, access and the confirmed areas.
Practical care built around the property.
Carpet Hero keeps the process clear from the first enquiry through to preparation and aftercare.
Colourfastness consideration
Potential dye movement and colour stability are reviewed where relevant.
Focused soil and spill care
High-use lanes, visible spots and general soiling are considered together.
Practical suitability advice
You receive clear guidance when specialist off-site care may be more appropriate.

Request a QuoteNo. Fibre, dyes, backing, age, construction and condition must be assessed. Some rugs require specialist off-site care.
Suitability depends on the specific rug, dye stability, construction and condition. Provide clear photos and fibre information.
Fringe varies in fibre and condition. It must be assessed separately and may not respond the same way as the main rug.
Pet-affected rugs can be assessed, but contamination depth and rug construction influence what is possible.
Drying varies with the rug, method, airflow, indoor conditions and moisture level.
