Why clean your rug

What your rug is hiding.And why you can feel it underfoot.

A rug is your home’s filter: everything that falls on the floor ends up at the base of the pile. The vacuum cleaner picks up what’s on top; what stays below is grit that cuts the fibres every time you step on it, fine dust that rises into the air and, if you have pets, hair and dander that no brush can reach.

  • Grit and dust at the base of the pile, which wear the rug down and dull its colour.
  • Pet hair, dander and urine, with the smell that comes back every time the temperature rises.
  • Stains from food, drink, mud or grease that have set into the pile.
  • Dust mites and allergens, especially in bedroom and long-pile rugs.

Injection‑extraction pushes hot water and eco-friendly detergent down to the base of the pile and vacuums it back up in the same pass. It draws the dirt out, lifts flattened pile and leaves the rug damp, not wet, right where it lies.

How we clean a rug.Right on your floor at home.

A real job in a Barcelona home. Watch how the colour of the water the machine extracts changes: that dirt was sitting at the base of the pile.

  1. Two-way vacuuming

    With and against the pile, to lift the fibres and pull out the grit and pet hair at the base. It’s the step most people skip and the one that matters most.

  2. Colour test and pre-treatment

    We check on a corner that the dyes don’t bleed. Then a specific product on each stain: enzyme-based for organic stains, degreaser for grease, a dedicated one for tannins.

  3. Injection‑extraction

    Hot water and eco-friendly detergent under pressure down to the base of the pile, vacuumed up in the same pass. Pass by pass, without soaking the backing or the floor.

  4. Disinfection and odour neutralisation

    A second pass kills dust mites and bacteria and breaks down the cause of the odour, instead of masking it with fragrance.

  5. Brushing and drying

    We groom the pile in one direction so it’s even and free of marks, and speed up drying with airflow. We check the result with you before we leave.

What’s included

A complete service.Not just "running a machine over it".

  • Initial checkFibre type, backing, fringes and dye condition before deciding on pressure, temperature and product.
  • Colourfastness testOn a corner or on the back. If a dye bleeds, we change method before touching the rest.
  • Deep two-way vacuumingLifts the pile and removes grit, dust and pet hair from the base.
  • Stain treatmentFood, drink, urine, mud or grease, each with its own product. No bleach or harsh solvents.
  • Injection‑extractionHot water and eco-friendly detergent under pressure, vacuumed up in the same pass. The backing and the floor don’t get soaked.
  • Disinfection and odoursKills dust mites and bacteria and neutralises pet, damp or musty odours at the source.
  • Grooming and fringesPile groomed in one direction and fringes cleaned by hand so they don’t stay grey.
  • Final check with youBefore we leave, we look at the result together. If anything’s not right, we redo it.

Types of rug

Every fibre, its own method.No rug comes out worse than it went in.

Wool
Lukewarm water, never hot, and pH-neutral detergent so the fibre doesn’t shrink or felt. Fast drying with airflow.
Synthetics
Polypropylene, polyester and nylon. They can take full pressure and temperature, and they’re the ones that change most after a clean.
Long pile and shaggy
Double vacuuming, slow extraction and a final brush in one direction so the pile stands up evenly.
Jute, sisal and plant fibres
They can’t take pressurised water. We clean them with low-residue dry foam and vacuuming; we’ll flag it in your quote beforehand.
Viscose and silk
The most delicate. In some cases we advise against cleaning them with water; we assess it from your photo and give you an honest answer.
Fitted carpet
Cleaned in place, zone by zone, with accelerated drying. Ideal for offices and hotel rooms.

Not sure what your rug is made of? Send us a photo of the back and a close-up of the pile and we’ll tell you.

Stains and odours

What we remove.And when we can’t, we tell you first.

Stains

  • Food, sauces and chocolate
  • Wine, coffee and drinks
  • Pet urine and vomit
  • Mud and footprints from outside
  • Grease and traffic marks in hallways
  • Pile crushed by furniture

Odours

  • Dog or cat urine
  • Damp and mustiness
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Dusty smell when you walk on it
  • Food and cooking
  • "Been in storage" smell

In all honesty

Bleeding dyes, fading from sun or bleach and mould that has reached the backing aren’t dirt: they’re damage to the rug and a clean won’t reverse them. If we see anything like that in your photo, we’ll tell you before we come and explain how much improvement is realistic.

Price

What a clean costs.A fixed price, before we come.

With a photo of the rug, its rough measurements and your town, we give you a fixed price that includes travel, products, labour and guarantee. That’s the price you pay when we finish, in cash or by bank transfer. And because it’s cleaned in your home, there’s no collection, no transport and no weeks of waiting.

The price depends on three things:

Size
It’s priced per square metre. A 2×3 m living-room rug doesn’t cost the same as a hallway runner or a 3×4.
Fibre
Synthetics and short pile have one price; wool, long pile and delicate fibres take more time and specialist products.
Condition
A yearly maintenance clean doesn’t cost the same as a rug with old pet urine or years without a clean.

Free cancellation with 48 hours’ notice. If we clean the rug along with your sofa or mattresses on the same day, the whole job works out cheaper.

Always included

  • Travel to your home
  • Professional machine and all products
  • Colour test, stain treatment and disinfection
  • Pile grooming and fringe cleaning
  • Guarantee: we come back free of charge if anything isn’t right

What you won’t see

  • Collection, transport and weeks without your rug
  • Extra charges for a "tough stain" at the end
  • A soaked rug that smells of damp

A 2×3 wool rug that had completely lost its colour. They cleaned it in the living room in an hour and a half and the pattern came back. Not a trace of product smell.

Elena M. Wool rug, Sarrià

We had a shaggy rug with cat urine that made the whole room smell. The smell has gone and the pile stands up like new. I thought I’d have to throw it out.

Pau G. Long pile, Poblenou

Office carpet, 80 m². They came on a Friday afternoon and by Monday it was dry with no footprints. The fixed price was exactly what they quoted us on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

Questions aboutcleaning your rug.

Need to know anything else?
Call us on 628 66 38 80.

How much does it cost to clean a rug in Barcelona?

It’s priced per square metre, depending on the fibre and condition. With a photo, the measurements and your town, we give you a fixed price on WhatsApp that includes travel, products and guarantee. No extras at the end and no collection charges.

Do you clean it at my home or take it away?

In your home, right on the floor. The injection‑extraction machine vacuums the water up in the same pass, so neither the rug nor the floor gets soaked. You save yourself the collection, the transport and the weeks without your rug.

How long does it take to dry?

Between 4 and 6 hours depending on the fibre and ventilation; long pile and wool may need a little longer. If we clean in the morning, you can walk on it by the evening. It’s best not to put the furniture back on it until it’s completely dry.

Can a wool rug be cleaned without shrinking or losing colour?

Yes. We use lukewarm water, never hot, and pH-neutral detergent, and before we start we check on a corner that the dyes don’t bleed. With that care, wool won’t shrink or felt.

Do you get rid of dog or cat urine smells?

Yes. Urine sinks down to the base of the pile and sometimes through to the back, which is why surface cleaners don’t work. We inject an enzyme product that breaks down the cause of the odour, then extract it. If it has reached the floor, we’ll tell you.

Do you clean long-pile or shaggy rugs?

Yes, and they’re among the ones that change most. Double vacuuming, slow extraction and a final brush in one direction so the pile stands up evenly, without matting.

What about jute, sisal, viscose or silk?

Plant fibres can’t take pressurised water: they’re cleaned with dry foam and vacuuming. Viscose and silk are very delicate; in some cases we advise against cleaning them with water. We assess it from your photo and tell you what’s possible before we come.

How often should a rug be cleaned?

Once a year with normal use. Every six months if you have pets, children who play on the floor or allergies at home, or if it’s in a high-traffic area. A timely clean adds years to the life of the fibres.

Do you also clean office carpets and rugs?

Yes. Fitted carpet in flats, offices, practices and hotels, zone by zone and outside working hours, so the space is dry and back in use the next day.

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

You pay once the job is done, in cash or by bank transfer. You can cancel or change your appointment free of charge with 48 hours’ notice. And if anything isn’t right, we’ll redo it at no cost.
