Rugs pick up more dirt than wall-to-wall carpet, because they sit in the busiest spots: under the dining table, in front of the couch and at the back door. In Hamilton, a lot of older homes have polished timber floors with large rugs over them, and apartments often have a rug in the living area. We book rug cleaning for everything from modern synthetic rugs to wool floor rugs and handmade pieces.
The crew we book checks the rug's fibre, backing and dyes before cleaning, and tests the colour on a small corner out of sight. For most synthetic rugs, hot water extraction on site works well. Wool and handmade rugs need gentler cleaning with the right solution and less water, and the crew may suggest a different approach if the dyes look like they could run. Fringes are cleaned by hand where needed.

Before the visit, vacuum the rug on both sides if you can and clear the furniture off it. Tell us the size, the material if it is on the label, and whether it is handmade. That helps us give you upfront pricing on the phone. If the rug sits on timber floors, the crew will protect the boards around it while they work.
Rugs usually take a few hours to dry, and longer on humid days. Leaving them spread out on a clean floor with fans running helps, and furniture should go back only once the rug is fully dry. Call 07 3543 9428 for upfront pricing on rug cleaning in Hamilton, and we will book a local crew at a time that suits you.
