Rugs are not wall-to-wall carpet — and cleaning them as if they were is one of the most common mistakes that leads to damaged, distorted, or faded results. The construction of a rug matters: a machine-made polypropylene rug handles moisture very differently from a hand-knotted wool Persian, and a modern synthetic shaggy rug has different pile requirements from a flat-woven cotton dhurrie. Max Carpet Cleaning assesses each rug individually before determining the appropriate cleaning method — water temperature, extraction pressure, and pre-treatment chemistry are all adjusted based on the fibre type and construction. Wool rugs in particular require lower water temperatures to prevent shrinkage and careful extraction to avoid distorting the pile or warping the backing. Persian and oriental rugs often have natural dyes that need to be tested before any moisture is applied. Getting this right is the difference between a rug that comes back looking refreshed and one that comes back looking damaged.



Rugs in high-traffic areas of Perth homes accumulate soil at a rate that vacuuming alone can't manage. In Perth's northern suburbs, fine sand is the primary culprit — it filters down through the pile and sits at the base of the rug, acting as an abrasive that wears fibres from the inside out. A rug that looks reasonably clean on the surface may have a significant soil load at the base of the pile that only becomes apparent when the rug is lifted and the floor underneath is examined. Pet households have additional loading from dander, hair, and in the case of accidents, urine that soaks through to the backing. Rugs on hard floors are also prone to collecting moisture at the base (particularly in Perth's winter months) which creates conditions for mould growth if not addressed. Max Carpet Cleaning extracts that embedded soil, treats any contamination, and leaves the rug genuinely clean from pile to backing — not just freshened on the surface.

Call 0432 192 382 to describe your rug — type of fibre if you know it (or a description of the weave and texture), approximate size, and any specific stains or concerns. Max will advise on the appropriate cleaning method and provide a fixed price. Most residential rugs are cleaned in-situ (in your home) rather than being taken offsite. The rug should be accessible and cleared of furniture before the technician arrives. Depending on size and fibre type, drying time is typically 2–6 hours — wool rugs take longer than synthetic and benefit from elevated airflow to prevent the backing from staying damp. Avoid folding or rolling the rug before it's fully dry. For very large, heavily soiled, or particularly valuable rugs, Max will advise on whether in-situ or offsite cleaning is the better option for your specific piece.

Rug cleaning is priced by size and fibre type — a small synthetic rug is very different from a large hand-knotted wool piece in terms of the time and care required. provides a fixed price before starting. Call with the approximate dimensions and a description of the rug for a quote.
Yes — cleans wool and Persian rugs regularly using WoolSafe-approved products that won't damage natural fibres or cause colour bleed. The approach is more careful than a standard synthetic rug: lower water temperature, gentler extraction pressure, and a dye-stability test before any moisture is applied. Mention the rug type when you call and Max will advise on the appropriate method and what to expect.
Pet urine in rugs is one of the most common requests and the result depends on how quickly it was treated and the rug's fibre type. Fresh urine treated promptly has a high success rate. Old, dried urine that has penetrated to the backing requires enzymatic pre-treatment and more thorough extraction — the odour can usually be significantly reduced but heavily saturated rugs may need multiple treatments. Wool rugs absorb urine deeply and are more challenging than synthetic ones. Call and describe the situation — Max will be honest about what's achievable before any work begins.
