Rug Cleaning in Altrincham
At Altrincham Dry Cleaners we treat every rug like a one-off. Whether it’s a treasured Persian heirloom, a wool hallway runner or a modern machine-made rug, our specialist rug cleaning service restores colour, texture and freshness — safely and carefully.
Servicing: Altrincham, Timperley, Hale, Sale, Bowdon, Hale Barns and surrounding Greater Manchester suburbs.
Why choose our rug cleaning?
- Specialist care for every fibre — wool, cotton, silk, viscose, jute and synthetics are cleaned with methods chosen to protect fibres and dyes.
- Hand-wash & gentle mechanical cleaning — we use hand-washing for delicate and hand-knotted rugs and controlled machine cleaning for more robust pieces.
- Stain & odour removal — targeted treatments remove common household stains (wine, pet accidents, food) and deep-seated odours.
- Colour-safe processes — pre-tests and colour-safe detergents reduce risk of bleeding or fading.
- Safe for antique & hand-knotted rugs — our experienced technicians use traditional techniques that preserve value and structure.
- Eco-conscious cleaning — biodegradable detergents and responsible wastewater handling.
