Alexandria VA Rug Cleaning specializes in full-immersion rug cleaning
Alexandria VA Rug Cleaning specializes in full-immersion rug cleaning that cleans through the wool to bring out the beauty of the original colors of the wool. Do you own a beautiful rug that was made in the Middle East or China? After years of dust, spills, foot debris, pets, and food stains, we can bring back your treasure of woven colorful designs.
We first inspect the rug to let you know if we feel we can restore it. We do a colorfast test to see if the acid dyes will run and how much. It is okay if it runs a little. Some rugs from third world war-torn countries don’t have the access to clean running water that we do. It is in their characteristic to run some.
Once the rug passes our inspection and testing, we move forward with our full-immersion wash process. Unlike surface-level cleaning, our process allows the rug to be completely submerged in water, gently agitated to loosen and remove dirt, and then thoroughly rinsed to ensure no residue is left behind. This deep-cleaning method restores the vibrancy of the rug’s intricate patterns and natural dyes.
Our trained technicians understand the specific needs of wool, silk, and cotton fibers, and each rug is treated as a unique, valuable heirloom. We take great care to dry rugs properly using a controlled environment to prevent mold, color bleeding, and fiber distortion. From antique Persian rugs to modern hand-tufted designs, we treat your investment with the utmost respect and precision.
Whether your rug holds sentimental value or simply completes the look of your home, Alexandria Green Rug Cleaning is here to restore its original charm and extend its life. Contact us today to schedule your professional rug evaluation and cleaning service.

We have a process to lock the dyes to prevent dye migration.
This specialized dye-stabilization step is crucial for protecting your rug’s colors and intricate designs, especially for handwoven rugs that use natural or vegetable-based dyes. By locking in the colors, we prevent unsightly bleeding or fading, preserving the rug’s original beauty.
The next step is to do dry soil removal before your rug ever touches the water. This will prevent that dry soil from becoming mud and making it much harder to clean. Using advanced dusting equipment, we remove pounds of hidden grit, sand, and debris that can damage rug fibers over time.
Next, we fully immerse your rug to clean out all the years of dirt, grease, pollen, pet dander, etc. This full bath ensures every fiber is flushed and cleaned from top to bottom. After hand cleaning the entire rug, it is time to use a low pH rinse where we rinse multiple times to get out the soap to prevent future attracting residue. This careful rinse process helps maintain the softness and color vibrancy of the rug.
Finally, the last cleaning touches and fringe cleaning. This takes time because it also is done by hand, ensuring even the most delicate areas are cared for. Finally, we extract as much water as possible and transfer the rug to the drying room.
Drying takes between eight to twelve hours on average, but some heavier rugs, such as Persian rugs, can take twelve to twenty-four hours to dry completely. Our climate-controlled drying room allows airflow and temperature to be carefully monitored for optimal drying without stressing the fibers.
