Area Rug Cleaning in Tulsa, OK
Why Do I Need to Deep Clean My Rugs?
Just like carpets and upholstered furniture, area rugs serve as natural air purifiers for your home, collecting dust and dirt to prevent them from spreading. However, for them to function effectively, it’s critical that they’re properly maintained and cleaned routinely. Think of them as the air filter in your home’s ventilation system – which needs regular replacement.
Similarly, your carpets, upholstery, and area rugs require consistent cleaning. At Chem-Dry, we specialize in high-end area rug cleaning. We pay special attention to every detail, restoring your rugs to their original splendor while removing accumulated dirt and non-living allergens*. Our experts are trained and equipped to handle all types of rugs, from delicate oriental ones to durable synthetics.
What Hiring an Expert Means to You
You wouldn’t send your car, a substantial investment, to a mechanic you haven’t fully vetted. Nor would you bring in someone to work on your refrigerator who wasn’t fully qualified. You would want an expert technician to work on each of these, someone who knows the best way to keep these possessions in prime condition. And just like your car or your refrigerator, you shouldn’t have your rugs taken care of by just anyone.
Gary’s Chem-Dry professionals are trained to clean all types of rugs, from common area rugs to expensive and delicate Oriental or Persian rugs. For our area rug cleaning services, we use specialized tools and equipment designed for whatever kind of rug you have, whether that is synthetic, wool, cotton, silk or one of many other types.
Our effective, yet gentle area rug cleaning and drying process preserves the dye within the fibers of your rug, leaving the colors in your rug vibrant and fresh. It wouldn’t make sense to clean your carpet or area rug only to have it come out in the end looking even worse than when you started. At Gary’s Chem-Dry, we understand this, and we do everything we can to make sure your area rug looks beautiful, vibrant and refreshed at the end of the cleaning process.
Some cleaning products used by other services leave behind grime after the cleaning is over, which can actually attract more dirt and dust and negate the benefits of the cleaning.
Trust your finest rugs to Chem-Dry professionals and let our trained, certified specialists bring the patterns and colors of your area rugs back to their original beauty, while also leaving your home cleaner and healthier for you and your family.
Our Rug Cleaning Process Outlined
Step 1: Remove clutter
Our Chem-Dry area rug cleaners will vacuum before the main cleaning process, but larger clutter like shoes, toys, and the like can get in the way. Not only that, these items can be a tripping hazard. By removing these items from the area rug, you can help ensure that your rug is cleaned thoroughly and efficiently.
Step 2: Remove light furniture
Many people place their area rugs underneath coffee tables and other small pieces of furniture. While these focus pieces of furniture can do wonders to tie a room’s decor together, it can get in the way of a cleaning. Our technicians are experts at oriental rug cleaning, but they are not licensed movers. Set furniture pieces—such as coffee tables, plant stands, and floor lamps—to the side in a nearby room, then move them back after the cleaning, once the rug is dry.
Step 3: Note stains and other focus areas
Sometimes, once you’ve noticed a stain or a flaw on your area rug, that can become all you see whenever you look at the rug. We certainly want to make sure that you are completely satisfied once we have completed your area rug cleaning, so if there are any particular areas where you want extra care, take a note of them and share them with the cleaner.
Step 4: Make preparations for your pets
A new person in your house, particularly one bringing new equipment and new smells with them, can potentially agitate your pets, so make sure that you have prepared for this. It might be wise to have your pet stay with a friend or relative, or even closed into another room or the backyard.
Step 5: Clear a path
It can be easy to forget that a technician needs to get himself and his equipment from his vehicle to your front door and from your front door to the rug. Make sure that there is a pathway he can take in order to clean your oriental rug. Some technicians use equipment that is attached to the van, so it may be a good idea to move cars out of the way so that his van is as close to the entrance as possible.

Very happy with the people over at Gary’s Chem-Dry. They did an incredible job for me recently. My carpets were in need of a good cleaning in a bad way and these guys provided exactly that. The technician that they sent out was very friendly and professional. He got right to work and knocked out both rooms in about an hour. Once he was done, he told us how long it would take to dry and also some tips to make the cleaning last longer which I really appreciated. The carpet turned out wonderfully and I would recommend Gary’s Chem-Dry in a heartbeat.
