Area & Oriental Rug Cleaning in Anchorage, AK
Pickup and Delivery Available
You don’t have to haul a rolled-up rug to us or rearrange your day around a drop-off window. We offer pickup and delivery throughout the Anchorage area, including Eagle River, Wasilla, and Girdwood. We come get the rug, clean it properly at our facility where we can control water temperature, drying time, and dye stability, then bring it back clean and dry. For most households this is the easier and safer route, especially for large or heavy rugs that are awkward to move.
Oriental Rug Master Technician (IICRC)
Fine Oriental, Persian, and hand-knotted rugs are not something you want cleaned by guesswork. Our Oriental Rug Master Technician is IICRC certified specifically in rug cleaning, which means we know how to test dye stability before a rug ever gets wet, identify fiber type (wool, silk, cotton, synthetic blends), and choose a cleaning method that won’t bleed colors, distort the weave, or damage fringe. A generic rug rinse might look fine for a day and then bleed dye into your floor a week later. We test first.
Transparent Pricing
Rug cleaning pricing depends on fiber, size, and condition, and we tell you that up front instead of quoting a flat number that doesn’t hold up once we see the actual rug. A machine-made synthetic area rug with light soil costs less to clean properly than a large hand-knotted wool Oriental with years of embedded grit and pet staining. When you contact us for a quote, expect us to ask about the rug’s size, material, and current condition so we can give you a number that’s accurate, not a lowball that turns into a surprise later.
Our Rug Cleaning Process
3. Cleaning matched to the rug.
Delicate wool, silk, and antique Oriental rugs get gentler, hand-controlled methods. Sturdier synthetic and machine-made area rugs can handle more aggressive extraction. Either way, the method is chosen for the rug in front of us, not applied blindly.
4. Controlled drying.
Rugs dry in a controlled environment where we manage airflow and humidity, which protects against shrinkage, fiber distortion, and mildew, especially important with wool and natural fiber rugs.
5. Final inspection and grooming
. Fringe is groomed, pile is brushed to lay correctly, and we do a final check before the rug goes back to you.
1. Inspection and testing
. Every rug gets inspected for fiber type, construction, existing damage, and dye stability before cleaning begins. This step is what separates a specialist from a shop that treats every rug the same.
2. Dusting and pre-treatment.
Rugs hold an enormous amount of dry soil and grit deep in the base of the fibers, more than most people expect. We remove this dry particulate before any wet cleaning, because wet-cleaning a dirty rug just turns dry soil into mud inside the fibers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer rug pickup and delivery?
Yes. We offer pickup and delivery for area and Oriental rug cleaning throughout Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla, and Girdwood, so you don’t have to transport the rug yourself.
Is there a minimum charge for rug cleaning?
Pricing is based on the rug’s fiber, size, and condition, and we confirm the number when we quote your specific rug rather than posting a flat minimum that doesn’t reflect what’s actually involved.
Can you remove pet odor from a rug?
Yes, when possible. Pet odor lives in the fibers and sometimes the backing, so we treat it at the source rather than masking it with fragrance. Severity and how long the odor has set in affect the outcome, which we’ll assess when we inspect the rug.
How long does rug cleaning take?
Turnaround depends on the rug’s size, fiber, and how much cleaning and drying it needs. Small synthetic area rugs turn around faster than large wool or hand-knotted pieces that require controlled drying time.
Can you clean delicate or antique Oriental rugs?
Yes. Our Oriental Rug Master Technician is IICRC certified in rug cleaning and tests dye stability and fiber type before cleaning any delicate or antique rug, using a method matched to that specific rug.
