Wool and other natural fibres
Provide label information and any history of shrinkage, fading or colour bleed. The condition and construction need to be considered before an appropriate approach can be agreed.
RUG CLEANING · OXFORDSHIRE
Individual rug care across Oxfordshire.
Rug cleaning enquiries across Oxfordshire, with wool, synthetic and oriental rugs assessed individually. Share the size, material, care label and condition so Appolo can discuss a suitable cleaning plan.
More than the visible surface
A rug's fibre, backing, dyes, fringe and construction matter when choosing a treatment. Include a photograph of the label or underside if you can safely access it, plus a wider image of the face. Tell Appolo about loose edges, previous colour transfer, old spills or repairs. These details help avoid treating every rug as a standard synthetic carpet.
Cleaning can improve accumulated soiling, but worn fibres, fading and permanent stain damage may remain. An enquiry photograph is a starting point rather than a guarantee of suitability. If you are unsure of the material, describe the rug honestly and discuss what further assessment is needed.
Plan the work you need
Synthetic rugs
Send dimensions, backing details and photos of the main traffic areas. A small washable mat and a large backed living-room rug do not necessarily need the same treatment.
Oriental and detailed rugs
Show the design, fringes, edging and existing damage. Do not assume a particular cleaning method or collection arrangement; confirm suitability and the practical plan with Appolo first.
Before and after your appointment
Before the visit
Explain where the rug is used, the floor beneath it and whether furniture holds it in place. Discuss safe access to the rug and any heavy furniture before the appointment. Include separate details if the carpet or hard floor underneath also needs cleaning.
After the clean
Ask about drying and when the rug can be returned to normal use for the agreed treatment. The backing and construction can affect drying. Follow individual advice rather than applying a standard carpet estimate to every rug.

See Appolo’s results →Your questions, answered
Do you offer collection for rugs?
Confirm the arrangement directly with Appolo. This website does not promise a collection service; the item, location and agreed method determine the practical plan.
Can a rug be cleaned with the rest of the room?
Include it in the enquiry, but describe it separately from the fitted carpet. Different materials may require different treatment and drying arrangements.
What if I do not know the fibre?
Send the label, underside and overall photographs if available. Say the material is unknown so suitability can be assessed without relying on an incorrect assumption.
