Your rugs are precious — we treat them that way
A good rug can be the heart of a room, and often the most delicate thing in it. We clean wool and delicate rugs gently and colour-safely, so they come back soft, bright and fresh — never harshly scrubbed.
Across Jay's 25 years of cleaning carpets and rugs, one lesson stands out: no two rugs are the same. A hand-knotted wool rug, a soft shaggy rug and a bright patterned runner each call for a different touch — and the wrong approach can fade colours or shrink fibres. That's why we test first, choose the right Prochem solution for the fibre, and clean at the temperature and pressure that's safe for your rug.
We've cleaned rugs in everything from busy family homes to some genuinely special places — including apartments in one of Knightsbridge's most exclusive addresses. Whatever your rug and wherever you are, you'll get the same careful, professional clean.

Our colour-safe rug cleaning method
A careful, step-by-step process designed to protect delicate fibres and keep colours true.
Inspect & test
We check the fibre and condition of your rug and test for colour-fastness in a discreet spot before we start — so there are no surprises.
Gentle, fibre-safe clean
We choose the right Prochem solution and temperature for your rug — hot-water extraction (steam) for hard-wearing rugs, and a gentler cool or cold-water clean for wool and delicate fibres — to lift dirt without harshness.
Colour kept true
Our colour-safe approach protects the dyes and pattern, so your rug comes back brighter and softer — not faded or stripped.
Drying
With hot-water extraction most rugs are touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within around 4–6 hours, depending on the thickness of the pile and ventilation.
Scotchgard option
Add Scotchgard protection to help your freshly cleaned rug resist future spills and stains — just £5 per rug.
Happy guarantee
