Area Rug Cleaning Service

in Dublin, San Ramon & Pleasanton

Can you remember the last time your area rugs were professionally cleaned? Your rugs deserve specialized care from trained experts who understand different fiber types, construction methods, and appropriate cleaning techniques. Legacy Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning brings generations of expertise to every rug we service, ensuring your investment receives the meticulous attention it deserves.

Why Professional Area Rug Cleaning Matters

Area rugs add warmth, style, and comfort to your home, but they also trap dirt, allergens, and odors deep within their fibers. Attempting DIY cleaning without proper knowledge of fabric types and cleaning solutions can lead to permanent damage, color bleeding, or fiber deterioration. Professional rug cleaning not only protects your investment but also extends the life of your rugs while maintaining their beauty and structural integrity.

Our specialized approach recognizes that each rug is unique. From delicate Oriental and Persian rugs to modern synthetic blends, different materials require different care. What works for one fiber type could destroy another, which is why professional expertise is so important.

Our Comprehensive Rug Spa Treatment Process

Step 1

Fabric Identification and Testing

Every professional area rug cleaning service at Legacy begins with accurate fabric identification. While most rug types are readily recognizable, we perform testing when needed to ensure we’re using the safest, most effective cleaning method for your specific rug. This careful approach prevents damage and ensures optimal results.

Step 2

Advanced Dry Soil Removal

Here’s something most homeowners don’t realize: approximately 80% of rug soiling is dry particulate matter. Starting the cleaning process by wetting the rug would turn this dry soil into mud, making removal significantly more difficult and potentially driving contaminants deeper into the fibers.

Instead, our rug cleaning specialists begin with extensive dusting of both the front and back surfaces. This crucial step removes embedded dry soil that regular vacuuming can’t reach.

Following dusting, we perform thorough front and back vacuuming to capture any remaining loose particles.

Step 3

Deep Cleaning and Sanitization

Once dry soil removal is complete, your rug undergoes a customized wet cleaning process tailored to its specific fiber type and construction. We carefully submerge the rug in specialized cleaning solutions, gently shampoo the fibers, and perform multiple rinses to remove all cleaning agents and dissolved soil.

Step 4

Rapid Drying Technology

Proper drying is essential to prevent mildew, odor, and fiber damage. After cleaning, your rug is placed in a commercial centrifuge that rapidly extracts excess moisture safely and efficiently. When the rug reaches the ideal moisture level, we lay it flat to reset the nap and restore its original appearance, then hang it to complete the drying process.

Step 5

Final Inspection and Protection

Before your rug returns home, it receives a final vacuuming and careful inspection. We then wrap it in protective plastic for clean, convenient transport back to your residence or business.

Specialized Pet Stain and Odor Treatment

Pet accidents on area rugs require immediate attention and specialized treatment. If your rug has pet stains or odors, our cleaning team adds an overnight enzyme bath to the standard cleaning process. These professional-grade enzymes break down organic matter at the molecular level, completely eliminating both stains and odors rather than simply masking them.

This additional treatment step ensures your rug returns fresh, clean, and free from lingering pet-related issues that could attract repeat incidents.
