Stain Protector Application
Applying a good stain protector to your oriental rug is an easy and relatively inexpensive service for a rug cleaning professional to perform in conjunction with a rug cleaning. We include this service at no additional charge with both our Deep Rug Cleaning Package and our Restorative Rug Cleaning Package. This application of stain protector can save you a lot of hassle and can help protect your rug from stains and unwanted soils and prevent them from attaching themselves to your rug and accelerating its deterioration and wear. If you’ve got an oriental rug you care enough about to be reading this right now, applying a stain protector to it after you’ve had it cleaned is pretty much a no-brainer.
There are a few important things to know about the benefits of having an oriental rug stain protector applied:
Stain Protector Makes Your Rugs Easier To Clean
Once your rug fibers have been coated with protector, vacuuming is much more effective because soils are resting on the protector and can’t attach themselves to the rug fibers as easily. Stain protector also makes spot removal easier as well, since protector makes the fibers less absorbent and gives you more time to clean up a spill before the unwanted substance absorbs into the fibers themselves.
Stain Protector Makes Your Rug Stain Resistant
Believe it or not, each fiber in your rug has a gazillion dye sites on it (not really, but you get the picture). Even though the color in your rug may look quite uniform, in fact the dye that makes up these colors has only filled in a small portion of those dye sites, leaving many of them empty. And although your rug may look like it has uniform colors throughout, if you were to examine it microscopically, some of the dye sites have the desired color in them, some dye sites have no color in them (blank), and some dye sites have unwanted color in them (stains).
The best way to prevent stains is to fill those blank dye sites with a clear resin, AKA stain protector! Therefore, stain protector application makes good sense, and when RugPro Oriental Rug Cleaning performs a deep cleaning or a restorative cleaning on your rug, stain protector application is included every time.
We 100% guarantee you will be satisfied by our stain protector application service in Jacksonville for a period of 14 days from completion of the cleaning (excluding normal accumulation of debris over that time period). Please note that no stain protector can make a rug stain-proof, only stain resistant. Fast clean up and good maintenance are essential to the ability of any stain protector to do its job.
Drapery Cleaning
Often, when customers are considering deep cleaning their oriental rugs, they think about cleaning their draperies as well. Our sister company, First Coast Home Pros, offers this service either in your home or at our drapery cleaning facility, depending on what works best for you and your drapes.
First Coast Home Pros’ drapery cleaning services are an excellent solution for maintaining the appearance and life of your drapes. Just like a rug, draperies need to be maintained in order to stay in tip top condition. They serve as natural filters for everything that flows through the air in your home, and the soil and contaminants that accumulate in draperies need to be removed periodically to prevent them from contaminating your home.
First Coast Home Pros offers both dry cleaning and wet cleaning methods, depending on what is appropriate for the draperies in your home. Bottom line – if you’re thinking about cleaning your draperies at the same time as your rugs or as a standalone project, we can help!
Upholstery Cleaning
It makes sense that when you clean your oriental rugs it might be a good time to have the upholstered furniture you have placed on or around your rugs cleaned as well. Our sister company, First Coast Home pros , offers their upholstery cleaning service to you either by dry cleaning or steam cleaning, depending on what is best for your furniture. While we are the experts in oriental rug cleaning, they are the experts in upholstery cleaning and they are the best choice to provide this service.
First Coast Home Pros’ IICRC certified cleaning technicians are trained in cleaning all types of upholstered furniture, including sofas, chairs, loveseats, settees and more. Did you know that manufacturers recommend that your furniture be professionally cleaned once every 12-24 months? First Coast Home Pros can help with this project, and what better time is there to do it than when your rugs are being rejuvenated as well?
Tile & Grout Cleaning
Now that you’ve rolled up your rugs and you’re ready to send them to RugPro Oriental Rug Cleaning, you have probably noticed that there is a huge difference between the appearance of the tile & grout where your rug was sitting (clean) and the appearance of the tile & grout in the traffic areas around your rug (dirty). Many homes have ceramic tile or natural stone throughout areas where rugs may sit, and the porous grout that is exposed to traffic can become quite dirty and the tile itself can appear dingy when compared with the floor that was protected by your rug.
The professional tile, natural stone, and grout cleaning technicians at First Coast Home Pros are IICRC certified in the most effective cleaning techniques in the industry and their tile & grout cleaning service is unparalleled in its approach and quality of service.
An ideal time to clean your tile floors is when your rugs are up and out of the way. This gives the technicians the opportunity to clean the entire flooring area without you having to worry about your rugs being impacted in any way. If you’re considering having your tile and grout cleaned, we recommend you call First Coast Home Pros and enjoy the easy scheduling and tile and grout cleaning service appointment options that can work seamlessly around your rug cleaning service as well.
Carpet Cleaning
Rug cleaning is best left to professional rug cleaners like RugPro Oriental Rug Cleaning, and, likewise, carpet cleaning is best left to carpet cleaners like First Coast Home Pros. Their technicians are IICRC certified in the most effective carpet cleaning techniques in the industry and their carpet cleaning service is unparalleled in its approach and quality of service.
Because residential carpets are typically made of synthetic fibers, carpet cleaners are able to use far more aggressive cleaning techniques than the techniques that are available to rug cleaners. It is important to know the difference between an effective carpet cleaning process and an effective rug cleaning process. For the very best in professional carpet cleaning services in Jacksonville, FL, we recommend you call First Coast Home Pros.
What Is The Difference Between Carpet Cleaning and Rug Cleaning?
Carpet cleaning and oriental rug cleaning are completely different services. Wall to wall carpeting is best cleaned using the hot water extraction method according to the IICRC. Not so with oriental rugs. This method of cleaning wall to wall carpets, also called steam cleaning, is often advertised by carpet cleaners as their “rug cleaning service.” However, this process is nothing more than our maintenance rug cleaning package , which cleans the face yarns only.
This is nothing like our deep rug cleaning or restorative rug cleaning packages . These cleaning process are specifically designed to clean the entire rug front to back, mimicking the flow of a river to do so. This process has been in use for thousands of years, and a carpet cleaning wand could never replicate its deep cleaning results.
Nevertheless, many customers are tempted to just go ahead and have their carpet cleaners clean the rugs while they are there. Unless your rugs need just a maintenance cleaning (which is typically only if you’ve had your rugs cleaned already within the last 6-12 months), please don’t do this! Let rug cleaners clean your rugs, and let carpet cleaners clean your carpets. For the latter, we hope you’ll consider First Coast Home Pros’ carpet cleaning services.
Wood Floor Cleaning
Where do your beautiful area rugs usually sit? Right on top of your hardwood floors. There is absolutely no better time to have your wood floors professionally cleaned than when your oriental rugs are away at the spa. Rugs cover a large portion of your floor, and it is the most convenient time to deep clean your wood floors when the rugs are not in place. Plus, when your rugs come back totally clean and free of dust and sand, we can put them back over a clean wood floor if you have your floors professionally cleaned in the meantime.
Our sister company First Coast Home Pros excels in professional wood floor cleaning services . They use an intensive wood floor cleaning system that uses a commercial grade scrubber machine in a two step, low moisture process. The first step is a high alkalinity aggressive wood floor cleaner to remove all the dirt, grease, and residue that is deep within the surface of the wood. Second, they use an alcohol based cleaner to neutralize the floor and prepare it for a maintenance coating of urethane, if desired.
Many customers opt only to have the floors cleaned, which can really do wonders for the wood in and of itself. However, for some floors, the maintenance coating can be a wonderful way to bring them back to their original luster. This maintenance coating, which is designed for traditional hardwood floors, is a waterbased urethane coating that dries and cures very quickly. Using this entire system, you can have your floors deep cleaned and then recoated just in time to have your rugs replaced once they are finished. If you’re thinking about having your wood floors professionally deep cleaned while your rugs are at our rug cleaning facility, we hope you’ll consider our friends at First Coast Home Pros.
Restorative Cleaning
Sometimes, when a rug has experienced an unfortunate event or series of events, such as soiling from a pet, a flood, or some kind of heavy or unusual degree of soiling that have resulted in spots or discolorations, the rug will require our Restorative Rug Cleaning Package. In addition to all the items listed in our Deep Rug Cleaning Package, this restorative process also includes full deodorizing with deep odor treatment as well as spot treatment for any areas of the rug affected by stains or discolorations.
Our restorative cleaning process is the most thorough, detailed hand washing process available on the market today. Unlike other rug cleaners in the area who use machines, our hand washing process is by far the most effective and least corrosive cleaning process available to your fine area rugs.
The Restorative Cleaning package is a must when you have urine, stains, odors, or other contaminations. We recommend this service every three to five years or whenever an unusual contamination occurs.
The most thorough rug cleaning and restoration process you will find anywhere includes:
- Inspection
- Dry Soil Removal
- Vacuuming
- Odor Treatment
- Deep Submersion Hand Washing
- Stain Treatment
- Neutralizing Rinse
- Fringe Brightening
- Speed Drying

We 100% guarantee you will be satisfied by our restorative rug cleaning service in Jacksonville for a period of 14 days from completion of the cleaning (excluding normal accumulation of debris over that time period).
Deep Cleaning
By far, our most popular cleaning service is our Deep Rug Cleaning Package, which uses the oldest and most effective method of cleaning rugs the world has ever known – washing by hand in a rug bath. This process includes completely submerging your rug in our rug cleaning bath and hand washing every inch of your rug, both front and back.
Our cleaning technique is steeped in tradition, and is the safest, most effective, and most thorough cleaning method we have ever seen. While it takes us longer to clean your rugs by hand than it would with machines, it is simply an exercise in the golden rule. We only clean your priceless heirlooms the same way we would clean our own rugs, by hand. The hand washing process is by far the most effective and least corrosive method of cleaning your rugs, far safer than using a machine that spins your rugs in a vat of water and beats them with mechanical paddles to mimic hand washing. Sometimes good, old fashioned TLC is simply better and safer than anything a machine can produce.
Our deep cleaning system includes pre-conditioning your rugs with the finest rug cleaning solutions, each of which is designed to enhance the colors in your rug, brighten the rug, and restore its luster. We hand scrub the rug in our rug bath, which is essentially a giant wash pit made especially for rugs. Once your rug is clean, we then thoroughly rinse your rug with a flow over system with special rinse agents to leave your rug soft to the touch.
Once clean and rinsed, the water in your rug is extracted and then placed on our rug drying racks in our drying room. This room circulates air rapidly and is heated and dehumidified to dry your rug as quickly but as naturally as possible. The finishing touches on our deep cleaning package include a special process to brighten and renew your fringe, the application of a stain protector (please link), and then rolling and wrapping your rug for pickup or delivery
In addition to the deep cleaning process itself, the Deep Rug Cleaning Package also includes a few items not included with maintenance service, such as Fringe Brightening, Stain Protector Application, and Grooming the face yarns of the rug and the fringe.
Our Deep Rug Cleaning Package Includes:
- Inspection
- Dry Soil Removal
- Vacuuming
- Deep Submersion Hand Washing
- Neutralizing Rinse

Maintenance Cleaning
Our Maintenance Rug Cleaning Package introduces the appropriate rug cleaning detergents and cleaning solutions with a low moisture technique that dampens and warms the fibers to suspend the soils in your rug. These soils are then removed with a high power vacuum system and a neutralizing rinse agent to leave your rug soft and clean. The final step in this process is to speed dry the rug for the very best results. Please note, this process, while less expensive than deep cleaning and appropriate for routine maintenance, treats only the top side of the rug and cleans the face yarns only.

- Inspection
- Dry Soil Removal
- Vacuuming

- Low Moisture Neutralizing Rinse
- Speed Drying
- Wrapping for Pickup/Delivery

Rug Dusting
Each of our professional rug cleaning packages includes what is perhaps the most important step in any rug cleaning process – dry soil removal. We use a patented professional area rug dusting tool to safely remove sand, loose debris, dander, and dust from your area rug by producing 47,000 harmonic vibrations per minute to loosen the debris in your rug. This process frequently removes several pounds of dry soil from a normal area rug in ways that regular vacuuming never could.
While this is included in all of our rug cleaning packages, we also offer Rug Dusting only as a standalone maintenance service.
