Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The primary factors influencing the cost are rug size, material (wool, silk, synthetic), construction (hand-knotted vs. machine-made), staining, and the chosen cleaning method (hand, steam, or machine).
A 9x12 rug typically costs between $162 and $405 to clean professionally, depending on the factors detailed above.
Steam cleaning uses hot water and detergent to penetrate the rug fibers, while dry cleaning utilizes chemicals to lift dirt and stains. Steam cleaning is generally more effective for deep cleaning, while dry cleaning is suitable for delicate rugs and may cause color fading.
While DIY cleaning is possible for simple stains, professional cleaning is recommended for thorough cleaning and preservation. Improper cleaning can damage the rug's fibers and diminish its value. A professional can assess and treat stains precisely.
Oriental rugs should be professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, or more frequently if they are used in high-traffic areas or have visible stains. Regular vacuuming is essential between professional cleanings.
