Care That Protects Fibers and Color

Professional rug cleaning services in Mount Pleasant that remove dirt, allergens, and pet odors while preserving rug integrity.

If you own area rugs in Mount Pleasant, you already know how quickly salt air and humidity can settle into fibers and cause odors to linger. Rugs placed near entryways or in living areas collect dirt, pet dander, and allergens that vacuuming alone cannot fully remove. Over time, this buildup dulls color and wears down backing materials, especially in decorative or high-value rugs that deserve better care than standard cleaning methods can provide.

Stellars Choice LLC tailors each rug cleaning based on fiber type, backing material, and current condition. You receive a cleaning approach designed for your specific rug, whether it is wool, silk, synthetic, or hand-knotted. This service safely extracts embedded dirt and allergens without soaking the backing or fading dyed patterns. The result is a rug that looks refreshed, smells clean, and feels softer underfoot without the stiffness or discoloration that comes from improper cleaning methods used in Mount Pleasant homes.

Contact Stellars Choice LLC to schedule rug cleaning that protects what you own and improves the air quality in your home.

How We Clean Without Damaging Your Rug

When you bring your rug in for cleaning in Mount Pleasant, we begin by inspecting the fiber type, backing, and any visible stains or wear patterns. This step determines which cleaning solution and extraction method we use. Some rugs tolerate hot water extraction, while others require low-moisture cleaning to prevent shrinkage or color bleed. We adjust pressure, temperature, and drying time based on what your rug can handle.

After cleaning, you will notice that ground-in dirt no longer clouds the pattern and pet odors no longer rise when you walk across the rug. Colors appear clearer because soil particles that scatter light have been removed. The rug dries evenly and regains its original texture without stiffness or residue left behind by soap or detergent.

We also address fringe cleaning, spot treatment for wine or food stains, and deodorizing for homes with pets. If your rug has latex backing or delicate fringe, we take extra care during drying to prevent cracking or unraveling. This service does not include rug repair, dyeing, or moth treatment, but it does prepare your rug to last longer and perform better in coastal conditions.

Homeowners often ask about cleaning methods, drying times, and whether certain stains can be removed before they schedule service. Below are answers to the most common concerns we hear.

Questions You Might Have Before Booking

What types of rugs can you clean?
We clean wool, silk, cotton, synthetic, hand-knotted, and machine-made rugs. Each type receives a cleaning method matched to its fiber and backing to prevent damage.
How long does it take for a rug to dry after cleaning?
Drying time depends on rug thickness and humidity levels, but most rugs dry within 24 to 48 hours. We use controlled airflow to speed drying without applying excessive heat that could shrink or warp fibers.
Can you remove pet stains and odors?
Yes, we treat pet stains with enzyme-based solutions that break down urine crystals and eliminate odor at the source. Surface stains lift more easily than older stains that have soaked into backing layers.
Why does coastal humidity affect rug cleaning?
Humidity in Mount Pleasant slows drying and can encourage mildew growth if rugs stay damp too long. Our process accounts for local moisture levels and ensures your rug dries completely before you take it home.
How often should I have my rugs cleaned?
Most homeowners benefit from professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months, depending on foot traffic and whether pets are present. High-traffic rugs or those in entryways may need cleaning more frequently.
