That Persian rug in your living room deserves more than a quick vacuum. Fine area rugs need care that wall-to-wall carpet does not. The wrong method can cause damage you cannot undo. Colors bleed. Fibers shrink. Fringes fall apart in your hands. Carpet Cleaning Group has cleaned area rugs across Chicago since 2014. We are a family-owned shop, not a franchise. Your rug may be an investment or a family heirloom. Our job is to clean it while protecting its beauty. We also offer free pickup and delivery, so you never haul a heavy rug across the city.

Our shop is at 3652 N Milwaukee Ave on the Northwest Side. Most rugs are back to you in 5 to 7 business days. We clean wool, cotton, silk, synthetic, and blended rugs.

Straight Pricing Before We Start
We price by area, not by the room. You get the full price before we start. It does not change when we arrive. Our service minimum is $180. There is no fuel or parking fee. A 3.7% fee applies to card payments.
Types of Rugs We Clean
We clean nearly every type of area rug, from synthetics to antiques. Each type needs a different approach. Our technicians identify the material and construction first. Then we choose the safest, most effective process. Consumer Reports notes that antique and area rugs need gentler handling than wall-to-wall carpet.
Oriental and Persian Rugs
These rugs are often hand-knotted with natural dyes. Some dyes react to certain cleaning agents and water temperatures. We test for color fastness before any cleaning. Then we use gentle, pH-balanced solutions. For fine or antique pieces, see our oriental rug cleaning service.
Wool Rugs
Wool is durable but can shrink if cleaned wrong. We control water temperature and drying conditions to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage.
Silk Rugs
Silk needs the most delicate handling. The fibers react to heat, agitation, and many cleaning chemicals. We use silk-safe methods that protect the fiber’s natural luster.
Synthetic and Specialty Rugs
Nylon, polypropylene, and polyester rugs are more forgiving. They still collect deep dirt that vacuuming misses. We also clean shag rugs, braided rugs, flatweave kilims, and designer pieces. If you have a rug, we can clean it.
Our Area Rug Cleaning Process
Every rug starts with a full inspection. We check fiber type, dye stability, construction, and any damage or stains. This tells us exactly how to proceed. Next, we remove dry soil through dusting. Sand and grit settle deep in a rug’s foundation. That abrasive material wears fibers down from the inside. We remove it before any wet cleaning. Then we wash the rug with methods that match its materials. Durable rugs may get full immersion washing. Delicate pieces get careful surface cleaning. We use pH-appropriate, fiber-safe solutions, including Green Seal certified products. After washing, we rinse the rug until no residue remains. Leftover residue attracts dirt and causes fast re-soiling. Finally, we dry the rug in a controlled space with steady air flow. Rushed drying causes mold, shrinkage, or color migration. We never rush this step.
Free Pickup and Delivery Across Chicago
Getting a large rug to a cleaning shop is not easy. Rolling it, fitting it in your car, carrying it inside. None of that is simple. That is why pickup and delivery are free with every rug we clean. We come to your home and roll and protect your rug. We clean it at our facility and bring it back when it is done. You never lift a finger. Our technicians handle your rug with care from pickup to delivery. Many rugs carry real value, in money or in memories. We treat every rug like it is irreplaceable.
Specialized Care for Delicate Rugs
Some rugs need extra attention. Antique rugs with fragile fibers. Natural dyes that might bleed. Silk with its delicate structure. Each needs handling beyond a standard wash. We also clean fringes by hand. Fringes trap the most soil but tear easily. Hand cleaning restores them without damage. If your rug has holes, tears, or worn spots, we flag them during inspection. Minor repairs can sometimes happen alongside cleaning. For bigger restoration work, we can recommend specialists.
Rug Protection Between Cleanings
After cleaning, consider a protection treatment. It helps your rug resist future stains and soiling. This matters most in busy rooms and homes with kids or pets. Fabric protection treatment is available for any rug we clean. A few habits also stretch time between cleanings. Rotate the rug twice a year so it wears evenly. Use a pad underneath to cut friction. Blot spills the moment they happen. We clean wall-to-wall carpet too. Our steam carpet cleaning handles your floors while your rug is at our shop. One company for the whole home.

Rug Cleaning FAQ
