Rugs can add a touch of comfort and luxury to our homes, and our demands of them are high. Their position on the floor means that we walk, sit, eat and play on them.
We occasionally spill things on them and wipe it off or give it a quick ‘wash’ with a bowl of water. Our pets often sleep on them or treat them as their domain, shedding hair and dust.

Cleaning a rug is so much more than turning up with a vacuum cleaner and a hand-held carpet cleaner. Ask the company about the process they use to clean a rug.
A rug cleaning company who can clearly explain their twelve-step process is one that cares for your rug.
