Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer pickup and delivery?+
Yes, we offer free rug cleaning pickup and delivery all over Hampton Roads, including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Suffolk.
Do you clean rugs you didn't sell?+
Yes. We clean any rug regardless of where it was purchased — wool, silk, Persian, Oriental, modern, or antique.
How much does rug cleaning cost?+
Pricing depends on rug size, material, and condition. Contact us for a free estimate.
How often should a rug be professionally cleaned?+
Most rugs benefit from professional hand-wash cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets or heavy foot traffic often need it closer to the 12-month mark. See our full rug maintenance guide for a complete care schedule.
Is hand-wash cleaning safe for all rug types?+
Hand-wash immersion cleaning is safe for hand-knotted, hand-loomed, and most wool rugs. Hand-tufted rugs with a latex backing need a gentler approach, since full submersion can degrade the backing over time. Not sure what you have? Our rug construction guide shows you how to tell in under a minute.
