Our Area Rug Cleaning Process
The chemical formulas we use are non-toxic and bio-degradable, and our specific washing techniques were learned and passed on through generations, so we’re confident we can deliver the results you want. If you’re curious about our process, we can provide you with a description of our general washing procedure used in area rug cleaning. Read more below, and feel free to contact our staff for any further information you require.
First, the rugs are pre-inspected for any possible problems that may arise while cleaning, such as dye runs, insect pests, urine, etc. Then, rugs are thoroughly ‘dusted’ to remove dry particles of soil and the dyes are stabilized for washing. Next, the rug is scrubbed with a gentle detergent to loosen soils and oils, while specific spots/stains are addressed. We treat the fringes of the rug and then rinse thoroughly. After these steps have been taken, the rug is placed in our state-of-the-art Moore rug dusting machine for a thorough, deep-clean process, which involves the water being wrung out through 16′ rollers. The rug is then brushed to set the pile in the appropriate direction and dried in a temperature-controlled drying room. After they are completely dry, the rugs are then inspected. If they do not pass inspection, they are washed again at no additional charge.
Spot Cleaning
Dirt buildup, ink marks, and other unexpected spots can quickly diminish the appearance of your rug. Instead of trying to mask the stain, let our specialists take care of it for you. At The Rug Rack & Murphy’s Rug Cleaners, we offer targeted spot-cleaning services designed to remove ink, grime, soil marks, and other stubborn spots.
Our team uses safe, effective cleaning methods that treat the affected area without harming your rug’s fibers or colors. Whether you’re dealing with a fresh mark or a set-in stain, we work carefully to restore your rug’s clean, vibrant look.

Food Stain Removal
Food stains can be some of the most stubborn marks to remove, especially when they seep deep into your rug’s fibers. At The Rug Rack & Murphy’s Rug Cleaners, we specialize in treating stains caused by sauces, grease, beverages, and other food-related spills that can leave long-lasting discoloration if not properly addressed.
Our trained technicians use gentle but highly effective cleaning solutions to break down residue without harming your rug’s colors, texture, or delicate weaving. We evaluate each stain individually to determine the safest and most successful treatment method, ensuring your rug gets the customized care it needs.
Whether you’re dealing with a fresh spill or an old, set-in food stain, we work meticulously to lift it and restore the rug’s original beauty. You can trust our team to handle even the toughest spots with precision, giving your rug a clean, refreshed look once again.
Pet Stain Removal
We know that pets are part of the family—and accidents happen, especially when you’re house-training a new puppy or kitten. It’s not your furry friend’s fault, and it doesn’t mean your rug is ruined. At The Rug Rack & Murphy’s Rug Cleaners, we specialize in gently and effectively removing pet stains while protecting your rug’s fibers and colors.
Our experienced team uses professional-grade cleaning solutions designed to break down urine, feces, and other pet-related stains. We also neutralize odors at the source, leaving your rug fresh and hygienic.
Whether it’s a recent accident or a set-in stain that’s been lingering, we approach each case with care and precision, restoring your rug’s appearance and helping you maintain a clean, comfortable home. Let us handle the mess so you can keep enjoying your sweet companion without worry. Contact us today to learn more!
