Rug care
How often does a rug need a wash?
Vacuuming is only part of the job.
Regular vacuuming is the most important part of looking after a rug, but it isn’t enough on its own. Dirt, dust and fine grit work down between the fibres, which is why a rug needs a professional wash about once a year.
That’s a job for our facility, where the rug can be washed right through and rinsed clean, then dried right through before it comes home.
Wall-to-wall carpet is a different job, done in your home as a separate service. About cleaning in your home
Extra care
Stains, pets, moths and repairs
Some rugs need a little more.
Mention anything you’ve noticed when you book. We’ll look closely and give you an honest answer on what we can do for it.
- Stains Spills and marks, treated as an extra step. About stains
- Pets Enzyme odour treatment for pet urine. About pet accidents
- Moths Moth treatment for wool rugs, done as the last step. It helps prevent future moth infestations. About moth treatment

Rug types
Rugs we clean for Scarborough homes
Our area rug cleaning in Scarborough covers cotton, wool, silk and synthetic rugs, along with Persian, oriental, Chinese and other handmade rugs. Pickup and delivery are free, and each rug is checked before it’s washed, so it gets the right treatment.
Oriental
Classic patterns and old dyes, checked closely before we wash.
Wool
Soft and hard-wearing, but it holds grit deep down and needs a thorough wash.

Fine and delicate, so silk gets our gentlest handling.
Cotton
Flat-weaves and natural cotton rugs, washed and dried with care.
Not sure what your rug is? Most people aren’t. We check each rug before washing.

Carpet and upholstery cleaning
A separate service from rug washing.
For carpet and upholstery cleaning in Scarborough, give Vivid Cleaning a call. Every one of our technicians goes through an extensive training program, and you can see it in the finished work.
For carpet in homes, we use steam cleaning only. Its proper name is pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE), and it’s the method many carpet manufacturers recommend for a deep, lasting clean.
Call us about carpet cleaning in Scarborough, or book an upholstery clean so the sofa is fresh before friends and family arrive, and we’ll find a time that suits you. About furniture and mattress cleaning
How we steam clean carpets
Spray
Hot pressurized water with cleaning solution.
Extract
Straight after, with a powerful vacuum motor.
Houses
Houses get our truck-mounted machine.
Condos
Condos and high-rises get a portable one.
Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning has very limited availability, so priority goes to repeat customers. If a spot opens up, for example after a cancellation, we can take new clients. Rugs are a different service: we pick them up and wash them at our facility. About in-home carpet cleaning
Questions
Scarborough rug cleaning questions
The questions we’re asked most often, answered the way we would on the phone.
Is pickup free in Scarborough?
Yes, anywhere in Scarborough, both ways. You pay for the cleaning, priced by your rug’s size, and what we agree on before the wash is what you pay. Nothing is added afterwards.
How often should I have my rug washed?
About once a year suits most rugs. If your rug sits in a busy room, or you have children or pets, it may need it sooner. Vacuuming in between makes a big difference.
I think I have moths. Can you help?
Tell us when you book. We’ll look closely at the rug and tell you what we suggest. About moth treatment
Do you clean rugs in my home?
No. Rugs are washed and dried at our facility, and we bring them back when they’re ready. Wall-to-wall carpet and upholstery are cleaned in your home, as a separate service. About cleaning in your home
How long will my rug be away?
That depends on the rug and the work it needs. A regular wash usually takes about a week. Enzyme odour treatment can add another week, and stain treatment adds 1 to 3 weeks on average, sometimes longer for a stubborn stain. For a repair, ask when you book and we’ll give you a rough idea.
