Area Rug Cleaning

Wool area rug cleaning typically takes 10 days to complete. The basic steps are listed below. We use a wet immersion process to clean area rugs and oriental rugs. This is the original and in our opinion the best method for thoroughly cleaning a wool rug. Of course we would think this, we cleaned over 55,000 area rugs with this process since the 1930s. The cleaning plant is in our store. If you would like a tour, please ask!

 

Basic Cleaning

$3.25 PER SQUARE FOOT

Most rugs we clean fall into this category. If the rug has pet urine, mold, or dyes that may bleed, we will have additional steps in the cleaning process. You can see the additional charges below. Our minimum charge per rug is $45.00.

9' x 12' = $351.00

Pick up & Delivery

Within 10 minutes of State College: 1 person = $75.00, 2 people = $110.00

More than 10 minutes from State College. Call for pick up/delivery charges based on transit time and the rugs to be cleaned.

Odor Digester

$1.25 PER SQUARE FOOT

This enzyme based odor treatment helps reduce odor from pets, smoke, or mold. Our minimum charge per rug is $45.00. We soak the rug in the solution allowing the enzymes to do their job. We may soak the rug 3-4 times until the odor is neutralized. Call us for quotes on pet urine. Removing large amounts of pet urine takes many extra steps and we calculate the cost on a case by case basis.

Pet Urine

$50.00 - $100.00 PER AREA OF URINE

Upon inspection of the rug and discussing the location of the urine, we can give you a quote on removing the urine and cleaning the rug.  

Color Setting

$0.75 PER SQUARE FOOT

We color test all rugs before cleaning. If needed, we then use a diluted vinegar solution to help reduce the chance of colors bleeding.

Moth Proofing

$1.25 PER SQUARE FOOT

Our treatment is safe for humans and pets. As a result, it is not guarenteed to kill all insects. The treatment changes the PH of the wool and makes the wool un-appeatizing to moths. It helps reduce the chance of moths damaging the wool. We personnaly use it on the rugs in our homes.

Silk Rug Cleaning

$8.00 PER SQUARE FOOT

Silk can not be cleaned with water. We use a dry-cleaning solution. This process is labor intensive and the dry-cleaning solution is expensive. As a result, the cost for cleaning a silk rug is more expensive that a wool rug.

1. inspect and dust rug

We inspect your rug for damages and stains. Then we use a "beater" across the back of the rug to remove as much of the embedded dirt as possible. In a recent 6' x 9' entryway rug, we removed 5 lbs of dirt with this step alone.
