A family business, cleaning rugs since 1989
We're a family-owned company here in Chicago, and we've been washing rugs for more than 35 years. Persian, Turkish, Chinese, Indian, Karastan, antique wool, silk, viscose, shag: we've seen just about every kind, and we know which ones need a gentler hand. Our goal hasn't changed in all that time: be the people Chicago trusts with fine rugs, whether that's cleaning, restoration, repair, or just good advice.
Since 1989
Same family business the whole time. Our reputation rides on every rug we send back.
Our Own Facility
Your rug is washed, dried and inspected at our place on N Christiana Ave, by our own team. It isn't sent anywhere else.
Safe for Kids & Pets
We only use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products. See exactly what we use.
What We Can Do for Your Rug
Cleaning is most of what we do, but we also fix colors, repair damage, make pads, and deal with odors and moths.
Oriental Rug Cleaning
An Oriental rug needs more care than wall-to-wall carpet. We check the fibers and dyes first, then wash it the way that rug needs, whether it's hand-knotted or machine-made.
Rug Color Restoration
Bleach spots, sun-faded patches, pet or food stains that won't wash out. We re-dye the area so it blends back in with the rest of the rug.
Oriental Rug Repair
Frayed fringes and loose side cords usually cost less to fix than people expect, and fixing them early stops the damage from spreading.
Custom Rug Pads
A pad made to fit keeps the rug from sliding, protects the floor underneath, and stops the pile from matting down as fast.
Rug Odor Removal
Pet accidents, smoke, cooking smells, that musty basement smell. We wash the odor out at the source instead of covering it up.
Rug Moth Treatment
Moths and carpet beetles love wool rugs. Our wash gets rid of the moths, beetles and larvae, and we can moth-proof the rug afterwards.
Got wall-to-wall carpet? We clean that too, right in your home, with hot water extraction. See carpet cleaning.

Our Rug Cleaning Process
Here's what actually happens to your rug once it gets to our facility.
Dusting
First, the RugBadger shakes the rug with more than 40,000 vibrations a minute. That knocks loose the dry grit stuck deep in the foundation, the stuff a vacuum never reaches and the stuff that wears fibers down.
Submersion Wash
Then the rug soaks for several hours in continuously flowing water, with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner worked into the fibers. Same idea as washing rugs in a river, just controlled.
Extract, Rinse & Spin
We rinse out every bit of cleaner underwater, using compressed air and special tools, which also lifts the pile. Then the rug goes into a centrifuge to spin the water out.
Controlled Drying
The rug dries in our heated Dry Room for 6-12 hours, with moving air and dehumidifiers. Drying it fast and evenly matters, because a rug that stays damp can rot.
Post Detailing
Last, we clean the fringes, brush the pile, and go over the whole rug for any spot that needs another pass.
What Our Customers Say
I had such a great experience with Angelos! He was right on time, very professional, and took the time to explain everything he was going to do. My biggest concern was getting the pet odor out of my couch and rug, and he talked me through the different options and helped me figure out the best approach.
He did a fantastic job! He just left, and already the odor seems to be gone. I’m so happy with the results and really appreciated how knowledgeable, thorough, and pleasant he was. Angelos clearly takes pride in his work, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for carpet or upholstery cleaning. Great job!
The best area rug cleaning in Chicago. I would recommend to all my friends.
Always satisfied.
