Area rugs soften a room’s look, absorb sounds, and provide protection for the floor beneath. Made with a variety of fibers and dye processes, area rugs require special attention and expertise when it is time to clean them.
We know the beauty and pride an area rug brings to your home or office decor and Tuthill’s has over 35 years of experience rejuvenating area rugs and keeping them clean. We ensure that your type of rug is cleaned in the best manner possible leaving behind a clean and beautiful rug.
Whether purchased locally or an exotic find from travels abroad, keep your area rugs looking their best with regular cleaning.
We understand rugs are different from traditional carpets. If you use an incorrect cleaning method, fibers can be easily damaged, colors can bleed together, or your rug can warp from shrinkage. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions that lift stains and grime from deep within the fibers while ensuring a safe environment for your family and pets.
Unlike traditional cleaning, our low-moisture rug cleaning process provides a deep clean without excessive water usage. This means embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria are removed while preserving the appearance of your rug.
Our cleaning methods will not harm your area rugs while removing the unsightly stains.
From pet spots to spilled drinks, we tackle tough stains and eliminate lingering odors. Our advanced deodorizing treatments neutralize smells at the source, leaving your rug smelling fresh and clean.
Our rug stain removal service tackles:
We spray a small amount of cleaning product onto your rugs.
We blot stained areas and remove stains by hand and avoid spreading it further when the stain is concentrated. For deeper stains, we may repeat this multiple times.
We’ll then use our 2 brush scrubbing machine turned onto a lower setting to continue the removal process to get rid of soil and stains out of the rug’s fibers. The machine’s brushes fluff the rug and agitate the fibers to bring soil to the surface.
After the scrubbing process, we vacuum the area rug to remove all of the stain, dirt, dust, pet hair that was pulled to the surface.
The rug is clean and left to dry resulting in a cleaner, brighter area rug.
Rugs are much more delicate than carpets and often more colorful. This requires more care to ensure the rug remains intact both visibly to the eye and the same sensory feel under your feet. We extend a rug’s lifespan by removing trapped debris and stains that cause fiber damage over time. We take pride in offering in-home area rug cleaning so you don’t have to drop-off your rug to be cleaned elsewhere.

You can handle light maintenance like vacuuming and spot-cleaning, but deep cleaning is best left to professionals—especially for wool, silk, handwoven, or antique rugs. DIY methods often miss deep-seated dirt and can risk damage if the wrong solution is used.
When done properly, no. Professionals use the right techniques for the rug’s material, so there’s no shrinking, color bleeding, or fiber distortion. DIY cleaning, however, often carries that risk due to over-wetting or harsh chemicals.
Using our quick dry process, only 1 to 2 hours. Traditional rug cleaning would take 6 to 12 hours up to a full day.
Yes, in most cases. Professionals use enzymatic cleaners and deep extraction techniques that go beyond the surface. However, if a pet stain has soaked through for a long time, full odor removal may require treating both the rug and the pad underneath.
Absolutely, but they require special care. Wool rugs should be cleaned with cold water and mild, pH-balanced detergents. Antique or hand-knotted rugs benefit from gentle washing and expert handling to preserve dyes and fibers.
While many stains can be removed, some—like set-in dye stains, bleach, or permanent ink—may not come out entirely. However, professionals can often significantly lighten them and improve the overall look of the rug.
