Rug cleaning involves the process of removing dirt, stains, and allergens from rugs to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan. This can be done through various methods, including vacuuming, spot cleaning, and professional deep cleaning services. Regular cleaning helps preserve the colors and fibers of the rug. Different types of rugs, such as Oriental rugs or wool rugs, may require specific cleaning techniques to avoid damage. Homeowners can choose to clean their rugs themselves or hire professionals who use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions tailored to the rug's material and condition.
