The Latest Technology

For centuries the only way to get a fine area rug cleaned was to hang the rug, take a rug beater and beat the loose dirt out by hitting it really hard. Washing the rug required lugging it down to a nearby river, submerging it while holding on tight and hoping the current didn’t take it away. As you can imagine, these methods only improved the appearance of the rug with varying degrees of success.

Finally there’s a brand new technology: a cleaning system that mimics traditional cleaning by fully immersing and gently kneading the rug in a 1200 gallon tub, without worrying about a strong river current! Our special cold water solution designed for wool, cotton and silk rugs ensures safe and effective cleaning. Because fine area rugs are tightly knotted and woven, deep cleaning is the most effective method. Our total cleaning system includes dusting, washing and drying.

Our Process

Area Rug Cleaning Company cares for the finest to the most basic rugs from around the world. We will pick-up and bring your rugs back to our special cleaning facility where they will go through our thorough cleaning process for maximum soil and spot removal.

Every rug that is brought to our facility is inspected and then inventoried. You may view the video of dusting a rug found on the equipment manufacturer’s website. We proudly use equipment furnished by Centrum Force®, an Ann Arbor based company.

Dusting is the most important step of the cleaning process. Over time an area rug collects dust, dirt, and debris, which can dull and scratch fibers.

We mechanically dust the rug, using the innovative machine that we designed, the Wolverine Rug Duster (pictured above). Then, most rugs are submitted to a complete water immersion wash process at our boutique rug care facility.

After the rug is washed, the wet rug is rolled and loaded into the cylinder of the Centri-Maxx® horizontal rug wringer. While spinning the rug and evacuating most of the water in three minutes or less, the rug is protected from pile distortion.

Laying down a new plan


“We were cleaning area rugs for years, and we could not clean them as well as they should have been cleaned. So, to get to the next level required something of this commitment.”

Trying to pull the rug from under competitors
