Area Rug Cleaning
Area and Oriental rugs are a beautiful addition to any home. Like well-placed wall decor or fine paintings, they contribute to the overall character and complete the furnishing of a well-decorated room. Unlike wall decor, however, area rugs usually receive a fair amount of traffic. Rugs like this are often put down in high-traffic areas to decorate, liven up and even protect these living spaces. But who is going to protect the rugs?

Similar to carpets and upholstered furniture, area rugs act as air filters for the home, trapping dirt and allergens and preventing those unhealthy elements from circulating to other rooms. But area rugs are only able to do this properly if they are maintained and kept clean. Just as an air filter for your home ventilation system needs to be regularly replaced, your carpets, upholstery, and area rugs need to be regularly cleaned. The professionals at Chem-Dry provide high quality area rug cleaning services, focusing on care and attention to detail, that restore the rugs to their original beauty while removing dirt and non-living allergens.
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.
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.

At 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 residues after the cleaning is over, which can actually attract more dirt and dust and negate the benefits of the cleaning. Our cleaning products don’t leave behind any sticky, dirt-attracting residues, which means that your area rugs stay cleaner longer – providing a cleaner, safer and healthier home environment for your kids and pets.

How to prepare for a Chem-Dry oriental rug cleaning
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, efficiently, and safely.
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 that 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 safely and efficiently. 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.
What People Are Saying
The real deal!
We have used Green Country Chem-Dry for years and couldn’t be happier. They are personable, professional, and do a fantastic job every time. Chem-Dry is a national brand with a great reputation for their carpet cleaning system, but not all franchises are equal. Green Country Chem-Dry is obviously committed to being a top-tier provider, as they are often the first in the Tulsa market to adopt the latest equipment and techniques. (The tile and grout cleaning will also do wonders!) Don’t fall for the bait-and-switch carpet cleaning scams out there. These guys are the real deal!
Carpet looked like new
We are very pleased with the results of our carpets and upholstery after Green Country Chem-Dry cleaned them. The carpet looked like new carpet. Plus the two employees were very nice and efficient.
Professional, courteous, efficient
I had a great experience with Green Country Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning. Will was my technician and he was professional, courteous and efficiently cleaned our den carpet. We have cats and he was able to remove the stains and odors to my satisfaction. I will call again!
