Cost
Rug cleaning is priced by the square foot, so a quote starts with two numbers. Here is how to get them right, and what else to tell us so the estimate is close to the final price.
Rugs sold as 8×10 are rarely 8 feet by 10 feet; hand‑knotted rugs are often 7'10" × 9'8" or 8'3" × 10'2". Measure the actual rug, including the fringe, along the longest dimension each way, and round to the nearest half foot. Multiply: 8 × 10 is 80 square feet; 9 × 12 is 108. At $4 to $6 per square foot (pricing page), an 8×10 is $320 to $480.
Round rugs: measure the diameter and use it both ways (a 6‑foot round counts as 6×6). Ovals and runners: longest by widest. Irregular tribal or Boucherouite rugs: longest by widest, and we measure precisely at the plant.
From your measurements and description we give an estimate. The firm price is set at inspection at the plant, where the rug is measured exactly and its condition seen, and it does not change after that. Multiple rugs from one house are measured and priced together.
Drop‑offs welcome any day; call ahead and you can watch the dye test.
Yes, the fringe is part of the rug and is washed and combed.
Yes, when the size and fiber are right. The most common surprise is urine, which is only visible under UV.
Yes; every rug is measured at inspection anyway. A rough number from you just makes the estimate useful.
