Fine rugs are engineered to be washed, fully submerged, thoroughly rinsed, and dried under controlled conditions. That's how they've been cleaned for hundreds of years, and it's how we still do it. On-site extraction is effective for wall-to-wall carpet. For an oriental rug, surface-level cleaning is insufficient.
At our facility in Humble we begin with dusting each rug (a step that alone eliminates pounds of soil from aged pieces), perform a fiber ID and color-fastness check, and then wash the rug in a dedicated bath with fiber-appropriate chemistry. We run multiple rinse cycles until the water runs clear. Controlled drying protects fibers, dyes, and shape.

This is what actually happens to your rug once it arrives at our facility — dusting, wash, rinse, dry, inspect.
Every rug goes through the same six steps. The chemistry and dwell time change with the fiber — the sequence doesn't.
We identify the fiber (wool, silk, cotton, synthetic), note construction (hand-knotted, hand-tufted, flatweave, machine-made), and run a discreet color-fastness test to assess potential dye bleeding. We document and photograph any pre-existing damage.
Hands down the most-overlooked step in rug cleaning, yet also the most critical. A rug can trap pounds of dirt invisible to the eye. When moisture reaches that soil, it transforms into mud within the fibers. We extract all of it before water touches the rug.
The rug is placed in its own wash bath with a fiber-suitable cleaning solution. Careful agitation draws embedded soil, oils, and allergens from the pile itself, going beyond surface-level cleaning. This is the method rugs should be cleaned with.
We rinse multiple times until the water coming off is completely clean. Residue-free results keep the rug looking fresher over time.
The rug dries in a controlled drying space in our facility, with conditions monitored to protect the fibers, dyes, and the rug's shape. Fringe gets hand-finished separately: it's cotton on most rugs and needs different care than the wool pile.
Once dry, every rug is inspected again in natural light. We groom the pile, verify there's no leftover staining, and apply optional fiber protector if you've selected it. Then it's wrapped and returned, ready for pickup, depending on your preference.
Pet urine is the hardest substance to remove from a rug, and this is why so many people choose professional cleaning over tackling it themselves. We run the same source-first process as our pet odor treatment, but with a key advantage: if the rug can safely take multiple wash cycles, we do as many as the job needs. For severe cases, see our pet odor treatment.
We come to you, roll the rug, and bring it back to the facility. When it's done we deliver it back, usually within a couple weeks depending on the size and the work required. No lifting furniture, no moving rugs yourself.
Prefer to drop off yourself? Bring the rug to our Humble facility during regular business hours and we'll take it from there. Same process, same guarantee.
Once your rug is clean, the fibers are open and cleared of buildup, ready to accept a fiber protector. It adheres to individual fibers to form a protective shield that buys you precious moments to address spills before they penetrate.
Ask about protector when you book — we'll quote it as an optional add-on, no pressure.

Typically, you can expect a turnaround of one to two weeks from pickup to delivery. Pet urine jobs that need multiple wash cycles can take a little longer. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline at pickup. We won't provide an unrealistic timeline that cuts corners on drying time.
