How our rug cleaning process works
Down in the Foundation in Apache Junction
Grit settles in the base of the pile and wears fibers from underneath. We remove it from the foundation, not just the surface.
Winter visitors returning to Apache Junction find rugs that sat under a summer's worth of settled dust. A deep on-site cleaning resets the house for the season.
Long-time residents in the Superstition foothills keep rugs that have lain in the same spot for years, while newer neighborhoods bring fresh synthetics and newly bought wool. An aged wool rug can carry brittle fringe and a stiffened backing, while a new synthetic carries mostly loose grit. Each one is tested, and the method is set by its age and construction rather than a single routine.
What It Costs

Questions We Hear
Can rugs be cleaned the week I arrive for winter?
Yes. Many clients book right after they arrive for the season.
Do you clean rugs near Lost Dutchman State Park?
Yes. Homes in the Lost Dutchman area and throughout the Superstition foothills are served, with every rug cleaned where it lies. Trail grit tracked in from the park gets the extra time it needs at the foundation.
Can stiff, brittle fringe be cleaned without breaking?
Yes, with care. Fringe is the end of the rug's foundation, so it is cleaned gently and by hand. Brittle strands are cleaned in place without pulling, and any already broken are pointed out first.
How do I know if a rug is too worn to clean?
Look for pile worn down to visible knots, holes, or a foundation that cracks when gently folded. Those signs mean the rug has lost strength. Inspection confirms what it can still handle, and a rug too fragile to clean safely is flagged before any work starts.
Can pen ink be removed from a wool rug?
Yes, when it is fresh. Ballpoint ink responds well to targeted solvents tested against the rug's dyes first. Gel and marker inks carry stronger pigment and may only lighten. Avoid hairspray or alcohol at home, which spread the ink wider.
