Area Rug Cleaning
Your Rugs Deserve the Best Care.
Fresh. Clean. Restored.
Professional Rug Washing & Care
Your area rugs do more than just decorate your home—they protect your floors, absorb daily life’s wear and tear, and even trap allergens. But over time, vacuuming isn’t enough. Dirt, dust, and spills settle deep into the fibers, dulling colors and damaging delicate weaves. That’s where Thomas Carpet Cleaning comes in.
We specialize in professional rug washing and care, using time-tested methods to gently and effectively clean your rugs—restoring their beauty and extending their life.
Why Professional Rug Cleaning Matters
Every rug tells a story. Whether it’s a fine Persian heirloom, a handcrafted wool rug, or a modern area rug, each piece deserves expert care. But rugs don’t just get dirty—they trap contaminants like:
Pet Urine & Odors
Even if you don’t smell it, urine can cause fiber damage and permanent discoloration.
Deep-Embedded Dirt
Dry soil acts like tiny glass shards, cutting into fibers and causing wear.
Spills & Stains
Left untreated, stains can set permanently and damage rug dyes.
Moth & Pest Infestations
Wool rugs are a prime target for moths if not properly cared for.
Our expert rug care process ensures a thorough yet safe cleaning for every rug—giving it back the vibrancy and freshness it was meant to have.
Our Rug Washing Process
At Thomas Carpet Cleaning, we don’t just clean rugs—we restore them. Every rug is unique, so we take a custom approach to ensure safe and effective washing.
1. Pre-Inspection & Rug Assessment
Before any cleaning begins, we carefully inspect your rug for:
- Dye stability & colorfastness
- Fiber type & construction
- Pet accidents & hidden stains
- Moth activity & pre-existing damage
This step allows us to create a customized cleaning plan to ensure your rug gets the best possible care.
2. Dust & Dry Soil Removal
Vacuuming alone only removes surface dirt. Our advanced dry soil removal system—using harmonic vibration, compressed air, and vacuuming—removes deep-seated dust and debris that can damage fibers over time.
3. Full Immersion Washing
Unlike harsh surface cleaning or steam cleaning that only affects the top layers, our rug washing process ensures a complete, fiber-deep clean. Each rug is gently washed one at a time with:
- Cool, Clean Water – Prevents shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- pH-Balanced Cleaning Solutions – Formulated specifically for wool, silk, cotton, and synthetic rugs.
- Thorough Rinsing – Until the water runs completely clear.
4. Controlled Drying Process
After washing, your rug is carefully placed in our humidity-controlled drying room, where it dries completely in the ideal conditions to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage.
We then hand-groom the fibers and fringe for a polished finish, followed by a final inspection to ensure it meets our quality standards before returning it to you.

Local Service Done Right!
THOMAS is a locally owned and operated, hands-on cleaning company. With construction and condition of the rug in mind, and using a best-method approach, every rug is pre-inspected, and a customized care plan is determined.
From the specialized equipment to the gentle cleaning solutions we use, we have designed and built a dedicated, controlled space where we can safely attend to the individual needs of each area rug you send to us for care.
Why do you take rugs out for cleaning?
Pre-inspection, dusting, washing, drying, odor removal, and repairs are all done in our controlled rug care center to ensure quality results.
For deep cleaning, we flush large amounts of fresh, cold water and specialized solutions through rug fibers, requiring full access for proper care. Controlled temperature and humidity during drying prevent fiber and dye damage.
Cleaning rugs in your home limits soil removal, forces high-heat methods, and extends drying time, risking mildew, odors, dye damage, and texture changes. Our process ensures a safer, more effective clean.
