How long does rug cleaning take?
Most rugs are cleaned and ready for collection in around 2 weeks. Heavily soiled rugs, intricate repairs, or items requiring extra drying time may take a little longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you book, and we'll keep you updated along the way.
How is the price calculated? Can the price change after inspection?
Our pricing is based on the size and material of your rug. The prices shown on our pricing page are guidelines. Once we receive your rug and inspect it in person, we confirm the exact price and contact you before any work begins. You are never charged more than agreed - if anything changes, we discuss it with you first.
Can you clean silk, viscose, or antique rugs?
Yes - these are some of our most valued specialities. Pure silk, viscose, Tencel, and antique Persian rugs all require bespoke handling. We assess each one individually and use cleaning methods appropriate to the specific fibres and dyes. We'll ask you to send photos before providing a quote for these pieces.
