Rug Cleaning to Preserve Appearance with Maximum Effectiveness

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.

No over-wetting of the rug which can lead to mold
Faster drying times to avoid musty smells
Less water prevents damage to padding and flooring underneath
No sticky residue or leftover detergent to collect more dirt or stains
Eco-friendly cleaner that won't damage delicate and natural fibers

Our cleaning methods will not harm your area rugs while removing the unsightly stains.

How does Tuthill’s Rug Cleaning Work?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rug Cleaning

Can I clean my rug myself?

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.
