Guelph's Rugs Deserve Better Than a Steam Cleaner
Guelph has a long history of exceptional rug collecting. For over 100 years, some of the finest Persian and Oriental rug dealers in Ontario called this city home.
Flying Carpets has had the privilege of restoring and revitalizing many of those remarkable vintage and antique rugs. We understand what these rugs mean to their owners, and we treat them accordingly.
If you own a handmade area rug, you already know it's more than floor covering. It's art. It deserves expert care.
Area Rugs We Clean in Guelph
We hand-wash all types of handmade area rugs, including:
- Persian rugs (Tabriz, Kashan, Isfahan, Qum, Heriz, and more)

- Vintage and antique rugs
- Silk rugs
- Wool rugs
- Tribal and village rugs
8-Step Rug Cleaning Guelph Process
Every rug that comes to us follows a careful, proven process. Here is exactly how we do it:
- Detailed Inspection — We document the rug's condition, fibre type, dyes, and any existing damage before we begin.
- Dry Dusting — We remove loose soil, dust, and debris from deep within the pile. This step alone can extract pounds of hidden material.
- Pre-Treatment — Pet stains, urine deposits, and stubborn spots are treated individually before the full wash begins.
- Hand Washing — We wash the rug by hand using solutions matched to the specific fibre and dye type.
- Deep Rinsing — We rinse thoroughly to flush all cleaning agents, soil, and residue from the pile and foundation.
- Controlled Drying — Rugs dry in our climate-controlled drying room. Correct temperature and moisture levels prevent mould, mildew, and pile distortion.
- Pile Grooming — We groom the pile to restore its natural direction, texture, and appearance.
- Final Inspection — Every rug is inspected before it leaves our facility. We want you to be amazed when it comes home.

The Dirty Truth About Your Area Rug
Here's something that might surprise you. An average 9' x 12' Oriental rug can hold up to 87 pounds of dirt, dust, allergens, dead skin cells, and moth eggs. You can't see most of it. It hides deep in the pile, right down at the foundation of the rug. Vacuuming barely scratches the surface.
Only a proper hand wash removes everything, right down to the base of the pile.
Why Rug Cleaning in Guelph Requires a Specialist
Not every rug cleaning company understands handmade rugs. We see the damage every week. A rug owner calls a local carpet cleaner, thinking it's the same thing. It isn't. Steam cleaning a Persian or Oriental rug can cause serious colour bleeding and mat the pile flat. Worse, the heat solidifies dirt at the base of the pile, making proper restoration far more difficult.
DIY cleaning is equally risky. We've seen well-meaning owners ruin rugs they've treasured for decades. A handmade rug is not a bath mat. It needs professional hands.
A Guelph Rug Legacy Worth Protecting
Guelph has been home to some of Ontario's finest rug dealers for over a century. Many of the Persian and Oriental rugs we clean from Guelph are genuine vintage rugs and antique rugs. They carry real history. Flying Carpets has been entrusted to revitalize these exceptional rugs — bringing colour, softness, and life back to pieces that have traveled halfway around the world.
Our Guelph clients are discerning. They are educated homeowners, professionals, and collectors who understand quality. They don't want the cheapest option. They want it done right.
Watch Out for Moth Damage
Climate change is creating a growing problem for rug owners across Ontario. Moth damage is increasing year after year. Moths lay eggs deep in the pile of wool rugs, and the larvae eat the foundation from the inside out. By the time damage appears on the surface, it's often already extensive.
Regular professional rug cleaning is one of the best defences against moth infestation. Our inspection process catches early-stage damage before it becomes a costly problem.

How much does area rug cleaning in Guelph cost?
Price List for Rug Cleaning in Guelph and surrounding areas
Pricing ranges from $2.75 to $4.50 per square foot. The final cost depends on the rug's size, fibre type, condition, and what the cleaning requires.
Can you clean antique and vintage Persian rugs?
Absolutely. We specialize in antique and vintage Persian and Oriental rugs. Flying Carpets has been restoring exceptional pieces from the Guelph area for many years.
Why shouldn't I just steam clean my rug?
Steam cleaning can cause colour bleeding and flatten the pile. It also drives dirt into the base of the rug where it hardens — making proper hand washing more difficult and causing lasting damage.
How do I know if my rug has moth damage?
Look for thinning areas, bare patches, or fine dust collecting under the rug. Moths often damage rugs from beneath where it isn't visible. When we pick up your rug, we will inspect it and let you know what we find.
