Professional Rug Cleaning in Richmond
We provide professional on-site and specialist off-site rug cleaning throughout Richmond. Every rug is assessed for fibre type, dye stability, construction, backing and condition before we recommend the most suitable cleaning method. Same-day collection may be available, while specialist off-site cleaning normally takes 3–5 days.
Careful Assessment Before Every Clean

Specialist Care for Delicate and Handmade Rugs
Rug Cleaning Services We Offer in Richmond
From everyday rugs in busy family spaces to Persian, Oriental and handmade pieces that require more cautious handling, we select the cleaning method according to the individual rug.
Richmond homes can contain a wide mix of wool, silk, synthetic, antique and designer rugs, so we assess fibre type, dyes, backing and existing wear before deciding whether on-site or specialist off-site cleaning is more appropriate.
Collection is available for rugs that require controlled washing, water extraction and drying away from the property.
- Accurate fibre testing for wool, silk, viscose, jute, or blended fabrics
- Hand-cleaning methods for fragile or antique rugs
- Controlled moisture extraction for safe, even drying
- High-efficiency equipment designed specifically for luxury textiles
Rugs We Clean
Persian and Oriental Rugs
Persian and Oriental rugs often combine detailed hand-knotting, natural fibres and colour-sensitive dyes. We assess the weave, dye stability, age and previous repairs before recommending treatment, with more delicate pieces usually better suited to controlled off-site cleaning.
Wool Rugs
Wool rugs are well suited to comfortable living spaces but can hold substantial dry soil within the pile. Their response to moisture, heat and cleaning products varies, so fibre condition, backing and colour stability are checked before cleaning.
Silk Rugs
Silk requires a particularly controlled approach. Excess moisture, friction or unsuitable drying can affect sheen and texture, which is why silk rugs are individually assessed before treatment.
Synthetic, Machine-Made, and Modern/Designer Rugs
Many synthetic and machine-made rugs can be cleaned at the property, provided their backing and dyes are stable. Modern designer rugs may combine different fibres and finishes, so construction is checked before choosing a method.
Handmade and Antique Rugs
Older and handmade rugs may have fragile fringes, weakened foundations or previous repairs that influence how they should be cleaned. These areas are inspected before treatment and any limitations are explained in advance.
Viscose Rugs
Viscose can change in texture, sheen or pile direction when exposed to moisture or agitation. Cleaning suitability therefore needs to be considered carefully before treatment.

Our Rug Cleaning Process in Richmond
1. Initial Rug Review
Send photos, dimensions and details of stains, odours or previous treatment.
2. Collection or Property Inspection
We arrange collection where required or inspect the rug before on-site treatment.
3. Material and Condition Check
Fibres, dyes, backing, wear and construction are reviewed before cleaning begins.
4. Appropriate Cleaning Method
Treatment is selected for the rug, with controlled water extraction and drying used off-site where needed.
5. Final Check and Preparation for Return
Where suitable, deodorising is applied before the rug is inspected, packaged and prepared for return.
On-Site or Off-Site Rug Cleaning?
On-Site Rug Cleaning
On-site suits stable, moisture-resistant rugs, most synthetic and machine-made rugs, or localised spot treatment on an otherwise clean rug. Drying can take 20–24 hours depending on thickness, soiling level, ventilation and room temperature.
Off-Site Rug Cleaning
Off-site is generally recommended for Persian, Oriental, handmade, wool, silk and antique rugs, colour-sensitive rugs, heavy soiling, odour contamination, or rugs needing repair assessment. At our facility the rug is inspected, dusted, treated, rinsed, water-extracted and dried under controlled conditions, independent of London’s weather. The full service usually takes 3–5 days; exact turnaround is confirmed after assessment.
Rug Repair & Restoration Services in Richmond
Repair and restoration options are assessed individually, with the aim of addressing damaged areas while retaining as much of the rug’s existing character and construction as reasonably possible.
- 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.

Yes. We offer collection and return delivery across Richmond. Same-day collection may be available, subject to scheduling and availability.
How long does specialist rug cleaning take?
Specialist off-site rug cleaning normally takes around 3–5 days. Rugs requiring intensive stain treatment, odour treatment or repair may need additional time, which will be discussed in advance.
