Professional Rug Cleaning in Mayfair
We provide professional on-site and off-site rug cleaning throughout Mayfair and the surrounding W1 area. Each rug is assessed individually for fibre type, construction, backing, dye stability and existing condition before a suitable cleaning method is recommended. Same-day collection may be available, subject to scheduling. Specialist off-site cleaning normally takes 3–5 days.

On-Site and Specialist Off-Site Options
Cleaning Methods Selected for Each Rug
Choosing the Right Method for Your Rug
Not every rug requires the same cleaning method. A process suitable for a synthetic, machine-made rug may be too aggressive for a handmade Persian, silk or colour-sensitive rug. Before recommending treatment, we assess the fibres, construction, dye stability, backing, age, existing wear, previous cleaning attempts, stains and odours.
Some rugs can be cleaned safely on-site. Delicate, handmade or colour-sensitive rugs are generally better suited to specialist off-site cleaning, where moisture extraction and drying can be controlled more closely. Send clear photographs of the front, back, fringe and any affected areas for an initial assessment.
Rugs We Clean
Persian and Oriental Rugs
Persian and Oriental rugs may contain hand-knotted foundations, natural fibres and dyes that require careful testing. Their origin, construction, age and previous treatments can all influence the recommended cleaning method. Many Persian and Oriental rugs are better suited to controlled off-site cleaning.
Wool Rugs
Wool rugs can hold a considerable amount of dry soil within the pile. They may also be sensitive to unsuitable chemicals, excessive moisture and uncontrolled heat. The cleaning method is selected according to the wool type, dye stability, backing and condition of the rug.
Silk Rugs
Silk rugs require specialist handling because their fibres and sheen can be affected by moisture, agitation, chemical residue and inappropriate drying. Silk rugs are individually assessed before treatment is recommended.
Synthetic, Machine-Made, and Modern/Designer Rugs
Many synthetic and machine-made rugs can be cleaned on-site, provided that their dyes, construction and backing are suitable. Modern rugs may combine several fibres, backing materials and decorative finishes. Care instructions and fibre composition are considered before a cleaning method is selected.
Handmade and Antique Rugs
Handmade and antique rugs are checked for colour movement, weakened fibres, worn foundations, fringe damage and previous repairs. Any visible risks or limitations will be discussed before cleaning begins.
Viscose Rugs
Viscose rugs can be highly sensitive to moisture, pile distortion and agitation. Even limited moisture may change the texture or appearance of the pile. Cleaning suitability must therefore be assessed carefully.

On-Site or Off-Site Rug Cleaning?
On-Site Rug Cleaning
On-site cleaning may be suitable for:
Some synthetic rugs, some machine-made rugs, rugs with stable dyes, rugs with moisture-resistant construction, rugs that do not require full washing, localised spot treatment, rugs that can be dried safely inside the property
The rug is inspected before cleaning begins.
On-site drying can take approximately 20–24 hours in some conditions. Drying time depends on the rug’s thickness, fibre type, level of soiling, amount of moisture required, ventilation and room temperature.
Off-Site Rug Cleaning
Off-site cleaning is generally recommended for:
Persian rugs, oriental rugs, handmade rugs, wool rugs, silk rugs, antique rugs, colour-sensitive rugs, rugs with heavy embedded soil, rugs with odour contamination, rugs requiring controlled water extraction, rugs requiring repair assessment
At a specialist off-site facility, the rug can be inspected, dusted, treated, rinsed, water-extracted and dried under controlled conditions. This approach allows drying to be managed independently of London’s seasonal weather. The complete off-site service usually takes approximately 3–5 days. Rugs requiring intensive treatment or repair may take longer, and any extended turnaround will be discussed in advance.
Our 5-Step Specialised Rug Cleaning Process
1. Photo Assessment and Initial Quote
Send photographs of the front, back, fringe and affected areas, together with the rug’s approximate dimensions and details of stains, odours or previous cleaning attempts.
2. Collection or On-Site Inspection
Same-day collection may be available for off-site cleaning. Rugs selected for on-site treatment are inspected before cleaning begins.
3. Fibre, Dye and Construction Assessment
We assess fibre type, dye stability, construction, backing and existing wear to identify risks such as colour movement, weakened fibres, adhesive deterioration or previous damage.
4. Selected Cleaning and Controlled Drying
Depending on the rug, treatment may involve controlled on-site extraction, low-moisture cleaning, targeted spot treatment or specialist off-site washing. Off-site rugs benefit from water extraction and controlled drying.
5. Deodorising, Inspection and Packaging
Where suitable, a professional deodorising treatment is applied. Off-site rugs are inspected after drying and packaged before return delivery.

Rug Repair & Restoration Services in Mayfair
Rug repair and restoration options are assessed individually. The achievable result depends on the rug’s construction, age, existing damage, previous repairs and availability of suitable materials.
- Edge binding & side cord repair: re‑stitching loose or frayed selvedges
- Colour correction & dye bleed: careful re‑dyeing of faded areas and stabilisation of running dyes
- Fringe re‑attachment: replacing broken, missing, or badly soiled fringes
Additional Services and Practical Information
Spot Cleaning
If only one area is affected, tea, coffee, wine, food, full cleaning isn't always necessary. Repeated home treatment risks spreading or setting the stain, pushing it deeper, or leaving detergent residue and colour loss. Domestic machines generally have less extraction power than professional equipment.
If a spill just happened, blot gently with a clean, colourfast towel, don't scrub, apply heat, or mix chemicals, and send us a photo before applying anything else.
Glued or Latex-Backed Rugs
Some rugs have glued or latex backing that reacts badly to excess moisture or slow drying, risking discolouration, adhesive migration, delamination or odour.
Depending on assessment, this may mean rapid off-site extraction or carefully limited on-site cleaning that keeps moisture away from the backing.
Optional Rug Protection
Protective treatment may be available after cleaning.
Protection can help reduce the speed at which some liquids and dry soils enter suitable fibres, providing additional time to respond to future spills.
Protection:
➤ Does not make a rug stain-proof
➤ Is not suitable for every fibre
➤ Does not guarantee stain removal
➤ Requires individual suitability assessment
Where suitable, protection is generally priced at approximately:
£4 per square metre
Final pricing is confirmed after assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you clean rugs at my property in Mayfair?
Yes. Some synthetic and machine-made rugs can be cleaned on-site after assessment. Handmade, wool, silk, antique and colour-sensitive rugs are generally better suited to specialist off-site cleaning.
Do you collect and return rugs in Mayfair?
Yes. Standard collection and return delivery are included within the £75 minimum booking charge, together with standard parking and congestion charge costs. Same-day collection may be available, subject to scheduling.
How long does rug cleaning take?
Specialist off-site cleaning normally takes approximately 3–5 days. Rugs requiring intensive stain treatment, odour treatment or repair may take longer. On-site rugs can require up to 20–24 hours to dry, depending on their fibres, thickness, condition and indoor ventilation.
Can you clean Persian, Oriental and silk rugs?
Yes, subject to assessment. We check fibre type, construction, dye stability, backing, existing wear and previous repairs before recommending a cleaning method. Many delicate and handmade rugs are better suited to controlled off-site cleaning.
Can Persian rugs be steam cleaned?
Steam or extraction cleaning should not automatically be used on every Persian rug. Some rugs may be damaged by excessive moisture, heat or unsuitable agitation. The safest method is selected after the rug has been assessed.
Can you remove every stain and pet odour?
Complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on the substance, fibre type, dye stability, age of the contamination and products previously applied. Pet odours can be treated, but the result also depends on whether contamination has reached the backing or foundation.
Do you offer spot cleaning?
Yes. If the rug is otherwise clean and only one area is affected, targeted spot treatment may be more appropriate than a full clean. We recommend sending a photograph before using domestic machines or household chemicals, as previous treatment can make some stains more difficult to remove.
Is rug cleaning covered by your 48-hour aftercare guarantee?
Yes. Contact us within 48 hours if you have a concern after the rug is returned. Where appropriate and reasonably possible, we will arrange a complimentary follow-up assessment or localised treatment within seven days, subject to the rug’s condition and our service terms.
