Types of Rugs We Clean in Newcastle & The Hunter
Specialist Care for Every Rug Fibre & Construction
From Persian heirlooms to modern synthetics, our IICRC-certified rug specialists are trained in fibre-specific cleaning for every rug type. Each rug is pre-inspected to determine its fibre content, dye stability and construction before we select the correct cleaning method.
Fibre-Specific Care for Every Rug
Different rug fibres require different cleaning approaches. Wool needs gentle, pH-balanced chemistry to protect natural lanolin. Silk requires low-moisture, gentle cleaning to prevent damage. Synthetic fibres can tolerate more aggressive cleaning. Using the wrong method can cause dye bleeding, fibre damage, shrinkage or permanent discolouration — which is why our specialists always pre-inspect and test before cleaning.
Rug Types We Specialist Clean
Every rug receives fibre-specific chemistry and construction-appropriate cleaning.
Persian & Oriental Rugs
Hand-knotted wool and silk rugs with intricate patterns. We test dye stability before cleaning and use gentle, fibre-specific chemistry to protect colours and construction.
Wool Rugs
Natural wool fibres including hand-woven, machine-made and felted wool. We use wool-safe, pH-balanced chemistry that protects the natural lanolin and prevents shrinkage.
Silk & Viscose Rugs
Delicate silk and viscose fibres require low-moisture, gentle cleaning. We use specialist techniques to prevent water marks, fibre distortion and dye bleeding.
Synthetic Rugs
Nylon, polypropylene and polyester rugs can tolerate more thorough cleaning. We use appropriate chemistry to remove soil and stains without damaging the fibres.
Cotton & Jute Rugs
Natural plant fibres that require careful moisture control to prevent shrinkage and browning. We use controlled cleaning and drying techniques.
Shag & High-Pile Rugs
Long-pile and shag rugs trap soil deep in the fibres. Our commercial dusting process removes embedded grit before thorough cleaning.
