When it comes to preserving the beauty, value, and longevity of your rugs, professional care is essential. At Safe Cleaning Services, we specialise exclusively in rug cleaning in Melbourne, providing a meticulous and traditional service that caters to all types of rugs, from treasured antiques to contemporary pieces. Our experienced team combines time-tested techniques with modern, wool-safe products to deliver outstanding results every time.
Our Traditional Methods to Rug Cleaning
We believe that exceptional rug cleaning starts with attention to detail. Each rug undergoes a thorough inspection before cleaning begins, allowing us to tailor our method to its specific fabric, weave, and condition.
Dust Removal:
The first step involves a careful dusting process. Unlike standard vacuuming, our technique removes deeply embedded dust and dry soils from both the front and back of the rug. This prevents dirt from turning into abrasive mud during the cleaning process, helping to protect the rug’s fibres.
Deep Cleaning Process:
We use a specially formulated Wool Safe shampoo paired with plenty of fresh water in a purpose-built washing bath. This method ensures a deep, even clean that reaches into the foundation of the rug without harming delicate fibres. By soaking and gently agitating the rug, we lift away dirt, allergens, and residues while maintaining the rug’s vibrant colours and original texture.
Natural Air Drying:
Drying is a critical phase in our process. We exclusively air dry rugs, avoiding artificial heat sources that could shrink, stiffen, or fade the fibres. This slow, natural drying preserves the rug’s softness, sheen, and authentic character.
Comprehensive Rug Repair Services
Over time, even the highest-quality rugs experience wear and tear. Our Melbourne workshop is home to skilled artisans who understand the intricate art of rug repair. Whether it’s restoring the fringe on an antique Persian rug or rebinding the edges of a modern designer piece, Safe Cleaning Services ensures every repair is performed with precision and respect for the original craftsmanship.
Our services include:
- Fringe repair and replacement
- Edge binding and securing
- Reweaving holes and worn areas
- Colour restoration for faded sections
Moth Treatment for Rug Protection
Moths are silent destroyers of valuable woollen rugs, especially in low-traffic areas or under heavy furniture. Many homeowners in Melbourne are unaware of the extent of moth damage until it’s too late. Safe Cleaning Services offers professional moth treatment solutions designed to eliminate larvae and deter future infestations.
Our team uses proven, safe methods to treat your rugs without compromising their fibres, dyes, or integrity. Protect your investment today by scheduling a preventive moth treatment with us.
Convenient Pick-Up and Delivery Across Melbourne
We understand that transporting large or fragile rugs can be a hassle. That’s why Safe Cleaning Services provides a convenient pick-up and delivery service throughout the Melbourne metropolitan area. Your rug will be carefully collected, professionally cleaned and/or repaired, and returned to you within seven days, clean, fresh, and beautifully revitalised.
