Professional Area Rug Cleaning Services in Hinsdale
Expert care for oriental, Persian, wool, silk, and synthetic rugs. Pickup and delivery available throughout Chicago's western suburbs.
Your area rugs endure daily foot traffic, pet activity, and spills that regular vacuuming cannot fully address. Over time, dirt works its way deep into the fibers where it acts like sandpaper, wearing down the pile and dulling colors. Professional cleaning removes this embedded soil, restoring both appearance and extending the life of your investment.
At Haugland Brothers, we provide specialized area rug cleaning for every type of rug in your home. Whether you own a hand-knotted Persian silk, a vintage wool kilim, or a modern synthetic rug, our technicians assess the fiber content, dye stability, and construction before selecting the appropriate cleaning method. We offer both in-home service for convenience and facility-based cleaning for rugs that need the most thorough treatment.
Beyond cleaning, we offer complete rug restoration services including fringe repair, edge binding, color restoration, and moth damage repair. Our facility-based process includes dust removal, pre-treatment, gentle immersion cleaning, controlled drying, and a final grooming to restore the pile direction and luster.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Area Rug Cleaning Questions
How much does area rug cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the rug's size, fiber content, soil level, and any special treatments needed. We provide detailed written estimates that include all services and pickup/delivery within our service area. Oriental and Persian rugs with natural dyes typically require more careful handling, which may affect pricing.
Do you pick up and deliver rugs?
Yes, we offer insured pickup and delivery throughout Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, La Grange, and the surrounding western suburbs. Our team carefully wraps and transports your rugs to our cleaning facility, then delivers them back when complete. In-home cleaning is also available for smaller rugs.
Can you clean oriental and Persian rugs?
Absolutely. We specialize in handcrafted oriental and Persian rug care. Our process includes comprehensive colorfastness testing before any cleaning begins, gentle methods appropriate for natural dyes and aged fibers, and careful fringe cleaning. We have cleaned thousands of oriental rugs over our 55+ years in business.
How long does area rug cleaning take?
In-home cleaning typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on rug size and condition. Facility-based cleaning (pickup and delivery) usually takes 5 to 7 business days, as it includes thorough dust removal, immersion cleaning, and controlled drying to ensure the best results without shrinkage.
Is professional rug cleaning safe for wool and silk?
Yes. We use pH-balanced, fiber-specific cleaning solutions designed for natural materials. Wool and silk rugs receive low-moisture or immersion cleaning methods that protect the fibers while removing embedded soil. We always test for colorfastness before full cleaning.
Facility-Based Deep Cleaning vs. In-Home Service
For the most thorough results, we recommend our facility-based cleaning process. Your rug is carefully transported to our dedicated cleaning area where we can apply immersion washing, controlled rinsing, and flat drying techniques that are not possible in a home setting. This process removes significantly more soil and allergens than in-home methods.
In-home cleaning is ideal for rugs that are too large to transport or when you need quick turnaround. Our truck-mounted equipment delivers professional-grade results on site, and most rugs are ready to walk on within a few hours.
Protecting Your Investment for Years to Come
Quality area rugs represent a significant investment, and many handcrafted pieces appreciate in value over time. Regular professional cleaning every 12 to 24 months removes the abrasive soil particles that gradually wear down fibers and dull colors. For homes with pets or heavy foot traffic, we recommend cleaning every 6 to 12 months.
Between professional cleanings, we recommend rotating your rugs every few months to distribute wear evenly, vacuuming regularly with a brushless attachment for delicate rugs, and addressing spills immediately by blotting with a clean white cloth. Avoid direct sunlight exposure on natural-dye rugs to prevent fading.
