An area or oriental rug is more than just décor—it’s the centerpiece that ties your room together. But because rugs often sit in high-traffic areas, they can quickly collect dirt, stains, and allergens. Without proper care, this buildup can dull colors, weaken fibers, and even cause permanent damage.

At Glimmer Clean, our IICRC-certified technicians specialize in cleaning everything from durable synthetics like nylon, olefin, and polyester to delicate natural fiber rugs such as wool, cotton, and silk. Whether it’s a machine-loomed rug or a handwoven oriental piece, we have the expertise and care to clean it safely.

In-Home or Facility Cleaning

While some rugs can be cleaned at home, in most cases we recommend having them treated at our professional cleaning facility. Rugs should never be cleaned on wood, laminate, or atop another carpet, as this can damage both the rug and the flooring beneath.

At our facility, your rug receives the thorough care it deserves—without risk. Plus, Glimmer Clean offers free pickup and delivery with a fast turnaround of usually within 1 week.

Preconditioning & Spot Removal

To achieve the best results, our technicians often begin with preconditioning, especially for heavily soiled rugs. We carefully select the right cleaning and spotting agents for your rug’s fibers to treat stains, spills, and traffic patterns. Our solutions are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and safe for kids and pets.

Sanitization & Deodorization

Rugs can trap odors and bacteria deep within their fibers. That’s why Glimmer Clean offers professional sanitization and deodorization services. From odor-digesting enzymes that target pet accidents to germicidal sanitizers that eliminate mold and mildew, we’ll match the right treatment to your rug’s unique needs—restoring freshness and cleanliness.

Protecting Your Rugs

Unlike carpets or upholstery, most area and oriental rugs do not come with a built-in protective coating. To safeguard your investment, we recommend applying Scotchgard™ rug protector after each professional cleaning. This helps:

• Preserve your rug’s vibrant colors and beauty

• Guard against spills and stains

• Extend your rug’s overall lifespan

• Keep it looking fresh between cleanings
