Rugs in Sherwood homes range from small entry mats to large wool or natural fibre pieces anchoring a living room, and each type needs a slightly different approach depending on the fibre, the backing and how the rug is made. The crew we book will check the rug before cleaning, since a hand-knotted wool rug needs different handling to a machine-made synthetic one, and a rug with a natural fibre backing such as jute can be more sensitive to excess moisture.
Smaller and mid-sized rugs are often cleaned on site using the same hot water extraction method used for fitted carpet, while larger, more delicate or heavily soiled rugs may be better suited to being taken off site for a more thorough clean and controlled drying, then returned once fully dry. The technician can talk through which approach suits your rug when you book.
Rugs in Sherwood homes near timber or polished floors often need extra attention around the edges and underside, since trapped moisture against a hard floor can cause its own problems if not managed properly. A rug pad underneath can also help protect both the rug and the floor between cleans.
Fringed rugs need a bit of extra thought too, since fringes can tangle or mat during cleaning if not handled carefully, and the technician will usually work through them by hand rather than depending on the main cleaning pass alone.
