Protect Your Investment with Professional Area Rug Cleaning
Area rugs are more than just decorative elements—they add warmth, color, and comfort to your space. But like carpets, they attract and trap dirt, allergens, odors, and stains. Over time, this buildup can wear down the fibers, dull the colors, and negatively affect the indoor air quality in your home.
Note: We do not clean Oriental, silk, or antique Persian rugs due to the delicate nature of these materials.
What are the benefits?
Vacuuming and spot cleaning can help maintain your rugs in the short term, but for a deep clean that removes embedded dirt and allergens, professional area rug cleaning is essential. Here’s why Thornton homeowners rely on Matty’s:
✅ Extend the Life of Your Rugs
Regular professional cleanings prevent fiber damage, matting, and discoloration caused by abrasive dirt and soil particles.
✅ Improve Indoor Air Quality
Area rugs can trap dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens. Our deep cleaning methods eliminate these pollutants and improve your home's air.
✅ Remove Stubborn Odors & Stains
From pet accidents to food spills, we can safely remove deep-set stains and neutralize lingering odors — without damaging your rug.
✅ Restore Vibrancy & Texture
Dirt dulls the look and feel of your rugs. Our process brings back your rug’s original colors, softness, and visual appeal.
Our Area Rug Cleaning Process
Our multi-step cleaning process is tailored to each rug’s material, condition, and level of soiling. Whether it’s natural wool, cotton, or synthetic, we use the safest and most effective techniques for the best possible results.
Step 1: Pre-Inspection & Assessment
We begin by identifying your rug’s fiber type, backing material, and any existing damage. This helps us determine the safest cleaning method.
Step 2: Dry Soil Removal
We use industrial vacuuming and agitation to remove loose dirt, pet hair, and debris — which account for most visible soiling.
Step 3: Spot & Stain Treatment
Special solutions are applied to treat problem areas, such as food spills, pet urine, or tracked-in mud.
Step 4: Steam or Low-Moisture Cleaning
Depending on the rug type, we use steam cleaning (hot water extraction) or dry cleaning techniques to deep clean and sanitize without over wetting.
Step 5: Fringe & Edge Detailing
We carefully clean the rug’s fringe and edges to remove soil and restore original color and softness.
Step 6: Final Rinse, Grooming & Drying
A clean water rinse ensures no residue is left behind. The rug is then brushed and dried flat to prevent warping and preserve shape.
