Rugs require a more careful and individual approach than fitted carpets. Each rug has its own fibre composition, dye type, and construction — and the wrong cleaning method can cause irreversible damage including colour bleed, shrinkage, or pile distortion. Our rug cleaning specialists assess every piece before selecting the appropriate method. Delicate, antique, and natural fibre rugs are hand-washed using pH-neutral agents in our specialist facility; robust synthetic rugs are cleaned using hot water extraction. We offer a convenient collection and redelivery service across Greater London so your favourite piece is cared for without you having to leave home.

Reviews
What Our Clients Say
"I have a large Persian rug that's been in the family for decades and I was very anxious about having it cleaned. The team at Cleaning London were reassuring, professional, and the result was wonderful — colours genuinely brighter, no damage whatsoever. Worth every penny."
"I was convinced my living room carpet was beyond saving after five years and a puppy. Cleaning London proved me completely wrong — they removed stains I'd given up on and left the carpet looking better than it has in years. Genuinely couldn't be happier."
"I'd been putting off cleaning the curtains in my flat for years because I assumed it would mean taking them all down. Cleaning London offered the in-situ option and did the whole flat in one morning without me having to do anything. They smell wonderful now."
