In-Plant Care for Wool, Silk, and Antique Rugs

Most carpet cleaners treat area rugs the same way they treat wall-to-wall carpet. That approach can ruin a rug. Wool bleeds when it gets too wet. Silk loses its sheen under the wrong chemicals. Antique and handwoven rugs need dry soil removal before they ever touch water.

GM Carpet Care has cleaned area rugs at our Toms River facility since 1978. Every rug gets inspected for material and construction before we choose a cleaning method. That step alone prevents most of the damage we see when rugs come in after a botched in-home cleaning.

Your Area Rugs Deserve to be Handled With Care

  • Clean

Area rugs can hold several pounds of dirt. Regular cleaning protects against premature wear and rinses away soils, germs, and bacteria.

  • Restore

Rediscover the natural beauty of your area rugs and allow the original colors and patterns to shine through. Your rugs will look brand new and feel fresh and clean.

  • Protect

An application of 3M Scotchgard™ protects your rugs against soiling, spills, pet accidents, and fading to ensure your rug stays clean for as long as possible.

Caring for Your Area Rugs

Most fine area rugs should be cleaned every 1-3 years, depending on use, and high-quality area rugs can last for generations with the proper care.

GM Carpet Care offers both “in-home” and “in-plant” cleaning options for your different types of area rugs. As the customer, you have the choice in how your rugs are cleaned. Learn more about each option below.

In-Plant Area Rug Cleaning in Toms River, New Jersey

Why In-Plant Cleaning Protects Your Investment

Rugs can hold several pounds of trapped dirt, even ones that look clean. Vacuuming reaches the surface. It does not reach the fibers where grit grinds away at the backing every time someone walks across the room.

In-plant cleaning solves this. Your rug travels to our facility, where we control water temperature, drying time, and every chemical that touches the fibers. That level of control is not possible cleaning a rug on your living room floor.

Here is what happens once your rug arrives:

  1. We inspect the rug and note any existing damage or problem areas.
  2. Dry soil removal loosens embedded dirt before washing begins.
  3. The rug is washed, pretreated, and rinsed to clear residue completely.
  4. Optional deodorizing, insecticide treatment, and Scotchgard protection are applied.
  5. The rug dries fully, then gets rolled in paper for the trip home.

Most rugs return within about a week.

Additional Services & Fees

We want to ensure complete transparency and offer additional services to make your experience as convenient as possible. Please note the following fees that may apply:

  • Setting Fee: We charge a $50 fee per rug for carefully setting your rug back in place after cleaning.
  • Furniture Moving: If you’d like us to move furniture to access the rug, there is a minimum fee of $50, depending on the amount and size of furniture. This covers moving the furniture before and after cleaning.

These services are optional and designed to make your rug cleaning experience smooth and stress-free! Let us know if you’d like to add them when you schedule your appointment.

Is Your Rug a Candidate for In-Home Cleaning Instead

Synthetic, machine-made rugs are often a better fit for in-home service. It costs less and skips the pickup and delivery step. We inspect the rug first, pretreat stains, then use hot water extraction with organic cleaning solutions. Rugs dry in place within three to four hours.

We will tell you honestly which option fits your rug. A wool heirloom belongs in the plant. A synthetic runner in the mudroom usually does not need that level of care.

Keeping Your Rug Clean Between Visits

Most fine rugs need professional cleaning every one to three years. Check your rug’s warranty too. Some manufacturers now require documented professional cleaning to keep the warranty valid.

Between cleanings, vacuum regularly and pay attention to the fringe. Turn off the beater bar if your vacuum has one. A quality rug pad also reduces friction and slippage, which slows down wear.

Trust Us With Your Heirloom Rugs: GM Carpet Care Area Rug Cleaning Services

You can count on GM Carpet Care as your go-to carpet cleaning and repair company! Keep your rugs vibrant, spotless, and looking their best with our professional carpet cleaning services. As per most rug manufacturers’ recommendations, ensure that your rugs are professionally cleaned every 12-24 months. Don’t forget to check your warranty, as some manufacturers now require professional cleaning as a mandatory condition for their wear warranties.

Unlike hard floor surfaces such as tile and wood, where dirt and soil are easily visible and wiped off, rugs can trap dirt deep within their fibers, making it difficult to remove with regular vacuuming. Daily activities like walking and sitting on your rug cause the trapped dirt to rub against the fibers, leading to premature wear and tear.

At our Toms River facility, our expert carpet cleaners use a specialized cleaning system designed to deep clean your rug and flush out dirt and pollutants from the fibers using safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable cleaning products. You can trust our professional carpet cleaning service to care for your leather and area rugs, upholstery cleaning, and more.

To help maintain your rug’s cleanliness after our professional service, make sure to vacuum regularly, paying attention to the fringe and beater bar height. You may even consider not using the beater bar at all. Additionally, use a high-quality underlayer, pad, or cushion to facilitate cleaning and prevent slippage.
