Frequently Asked Questions (The Real Questions People Ask)

  • Can you clean all types of area rugs?

    Yes — we clean natural (wool, silk, jute), synthetic (polyester, nylon), and blends. We avoid overwetting vulnerable fibers like jute and use cold water when needed. If it's a rug, we can probably clean it. If it's not a rug... well, we'll let you know.

  • Do you offer pick-up and delivery?

    Absolutely! For oversized or fragile rugs, we offer secure pickup and drop-off at no extra charge. We know navigating Boston traffic with a 9x12 rug isn't anyone's idea of fun.

  • How long does cleaning and drying take?

    In-home cleaning usually takes 2–4 hours depending on size and soil level. Pickup-and-return service typically spans 2–3 business days. We're faster than the Green Line, but more reliable.

  • Will it shrink or fade?

    Not if cleaned correctly — and that's exactly why you hire professionals. We follow fiber-specific methods and proper rinsing techniques to preserve colors and structure. We're not about to ruin your investment.

  • How often should rugs be cleaned?

    Vacuum weekly (or as often as you can manage with kids/pets). Professional deep cleaning is typically needed every 12–18 months — or sooner if you have heavy traffic, pets, or teenagers who treat the living room like a dining room.

  • What about those Oriental rugs my grandmother left me?

    We handle heirloom pieces with white-glove care. We know they're not just rugs — they're family history.
