Rugs are everywhere in New Farm homes, from lounge rooms in old Queenslanders to bedrooms in art deco flats with polished floors. They catch dirt from shoes, crumbs from the couch and spills from the coffee table, and a thick pile hides far more grime than it shows. We book rug cleaning with a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew checks the rug label and fibre before choosing a method. Wool and synthetic rugs usually handle hot water extraction well. Shag rugs need extra vacuum time to reach the base of the pile. Silk, viscose, jute and many hand-knotted rugs can shrink, bleed or brown with too much water, so the crew may suggest a low-moisture clean or advise that the rug is better sent away.
- Rug lifted where possible so the floor underneath can be vacuumed
- Back of the rug vacuumed to shake out grit
- Spills and traffic marks pre-treated by hand
- Hot water extraction or low-moisture clean to suit the fibre
- Fringes cleaned by hand
- Rug raised on blocks or laid out to dry
Rugs often dry faster than wall-to-wall carpet because air can reach both sides. On a dry day, a smaller rug can hang over a verandah rail. A large lounge rug stays inside with a fan running and the windows open. The crew gives you a rough drying time and tells you when furniture can go back on it.
Rug cleaning is an easy add-on to a mattress booking because the crew already has the gear set up. To get a price for one rug or several, call 07 3543 2096 with the sizes and we will book a crew that covers New Farm.
