Rug Cleaning Brisbane
Careful off-site washing for wool, silk, Persian and handmade rugs
A good rug shouldn't be cleaned the same way as wall-to-wall carpet. We collect it, dust it mechanically to remove the grit sitting deep in the foundation, then wash and dry it flat off-site — the part that on-site cleaning simply can't replicate, especially with hand-knotted and natural-dye pieces.
Key benefits
Dusting before any water
Most of a rug's weight in soil is dry grit; removing it first prevents mud forming in the foundation.
Pick-up and delivery
We collect and return the rug wrapped, across greater Brisbane.
Fibre-specific handling
Wool, silk, cotton, viscose, jute and synthetics each need different water, chemistry and drying.
Dried flat and controlled
Flat drying protects the shape and stops dye migration in humid weather.

Keeping it looking good between visits
- Rotate the rug 180 degrees twice a year so sun fade and traffic wear stay even
- Use a quality underlay — it stops the backing abrading against hard floors
- Vacuum with the beater bar off on hand-knotted and silk rugs
- Deal with pet accidents immediately; urine sets dyes running in wool foundations
- Never dry a wet rug hanging over a rail — it distorts the shape permanently
Drying time
Drying takes a day or more off-site; typical turnaround is around a week.
