Rug Cleaning Pickup & Delivery in SWFL

Your Rug Deserves VIP Treatment

An Oriental or Persian rug isn’t just a floor covering—it’s an heirloom, a work of art, and a reflection of your style. That’s why, at Oriental Rug Salon, we treat every rug like a masterpiece, from the moment we pick it up to the moment we gently return it to your home, fresh, clean, and beautifully revived.

We offer free pickup and delivery for most area rugs throughout Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and Sarasota County, FL. But what really sets us apart is the white-glove experience we provide at every stage of the rug’s journey.

Let’s walk you through what you can expect when you trust us with your cherished textile.

Why Are Rug Pickup and Delivery Matters

Most homeowners don’t have the time, vehicle, or expertise to transport a large and delicate rug safely. And some rugs are far too valuable to risk rolling and stuffing into a car.

Our free pickup and delivery service ensures:

  • Your rug is handled safely from door to door
  • You don’t lift a finger
  • You receive expert inspection on-site before we ever begin

You’ll have peace of mind knowing your rug is in expert hands from the moment we arrive.

Step 1: Scheduling Your Rug Pickup

It all begins with a phone call or online request. Simply give us a ring at 239-424-8171 or visit https://orientalrugsalon.com

to schedule a pickup time that works for you.

Our friendly office staff will:

  • Ask for basic info (rug size, condition, concerns)
  • Explain our process and turnaround time
  • Set an appointment for pickup (usually within a few days)

We even offer after-hours or weekend appointments when available, because your schedule matters.

Step 2: Pre-Inspection at Your Door

When our uniformed technician arrives at your home, they will:

  • Carefully unroll the rug (if needed)
  • Inspect for stains, damage, pet odors, dye migration, or fading
  • Document any concerns
  • Provide a no-obligation estimate and explain your options

We encourage questions. This is your rug, and you deserve to understand everything we do to care for it.

If you approve the service, we’ll securely roll and transport the rug to our state-of-the-art cleaning and restoration facility in Cape Coral, FL.

Step 3: Transport to Our 6,000 Sq. Ft. Rug Spa

Your rug is taken to our climate-controlled cleaning studio, where it joins other fine rugs undergoing specialized care. Our facility is equipped with:

  • Submersion wash pits
  • Dusting and beating equipment
  • Centrifuge drying machines
  • UV inspection stations
  • Custom drying racks
  • And more…

We don’t outsource anything. Every step of the process is done in-house, by trained rug experts with decades of experience.

Step 4: Detailed Rug Inspection and Dye Testing

Once in the shop, your rug is fully unrolled, tagged, and given a deep inspection by our master rug technician. We identify:

  • Fiber type (wool, silk, cotton, etc.)
  • Knot density and construction method
  • Previous repairs or damage
  • Colorfastness (via dye testing)
  • Pet damage, moth activity, or mildew

Every rug is unique—and so is our approach to cleaning it.

Step 5: Dry Soil Removal – Beating Out the Dust

Before water ever touches the rug, we perform dry soil removal, a critical step often skipped by carpet cleaners.

Using gentle vibration and compressed air tools, we remove:

  • Sand
  • Hair
  • Dust mites
  • Grit that breaks down rug fibers over time

Some rugs release pounds of dry soil, especially if they haven’t been professionally cleaned in years.

Step 6: Rug Bath – Custom Submersion Cleaning

Your rug is then carefully immersed in a custom submersion wash using cold water and allergen-free, wool-safe shampoos.

We gently agitate the rug to:

  • Loosen embedded soils
  • Neutralize odors
  • Lift stains without damaging dyes

This traditional method—used for centuries in rug-weaving regions—ensures a deep but delicate clean, safe for even silk and antique rugs.

Step 7: Centrifuge Extraction & Drying

After rinsing, your rug is placed in a rug centrifuge—an advanced machine that spins the rug at up to 1,200 RPM to remove 95% of water in just a few minutes.

This process prevents:

  • Dye migration
  • Mold growth
  • Prolonged drying time

We then place the rug in our drying tower, with air movers and dehumidifiers to complete the process quickly and gently.

Step 8: Fringe Detailing, Grooming & Final Inspection

Once dry, we:

  • Hand-clean and whiten the fringes
  • Groom the pile for a soft, even texture
  • Inspect every inch for cleaning effectiveness and color vibrancy

If your rug had repairs, odor treatments, or stain protection added, these are completed during this stage.

Step 9: Fiber Protection & Specialty Treatments

Want to extend the life of your rug and protect against spills, sun fading, or pet stains?

We offer:

  • Fiber protectors (WoolSafe-approved)
  • Moth repellent treatments
  • Anti-allergen rinses
  • Odor neutralizers

All optional, but highly recommended for households with pets, kids, or heirloom rugs exposed to foot traffic or Florida’s humid climate.

Step 10: Delivery Day – A Fresh Start for Your Rug

Once your rug passes final inspection, we’ll contact you to schedule a convenient delivery time.

Our technicians will:

  • Roll and wrap the rug in protective covering
  • Transport it back to your home
  • Reinstall it for you, positioning it perfectly

You’ll instantly notice:

  • Richer colors
  • Softer texture
  • No more odors or gritty feel

A rug that looks better than it has in years

And if for any reason you’re not 100% satisfied, we’ll re-clean it—no charge.
