Area rugs can collect dust, pet hair, spills, odors, and deeply embedded soil that regular vacuuming may not fully remove. Because rugs vary in fiber, construction, dyes, and condition, they should not all be cleaned the same way.
Elite Floor & Upholstery Care provides professional area rug and Oriental rug cleaning for homeowners throughout Lakemoor, McHenry, and Chicago’s northwest suburbs. We inspect each rug before recommending the appropriate off-site cleaning method.
Pickup and delivery are available for added convenience. Customers can also arrange to drop off their rugs for professional cleaning.
Tell us the rug’s size, material if known, and whether you have concerns about spots, odors, pets, fringe, color, or previous damage.

Fine soil and debris can settle beneath the surface and become trapped deep within a rug’s fibers and foundation. Household vacuums may remove loose debris without reaching all the buildup inside the rug.

Every rug is different. We tailor our recommendations to its material, construction, condition, and specific cleaning concerns.
Rugs selected for off-site cleaning receive a detailed process designed to remove dry soil, embedded buildup, and cleaning residue while protecting the fibers and colors.
We use specialized equipment to remove dust, dry soil, and debris trapped deep within the rug’s fibers and foundation.
We apply a gentle shampoo selected for the rug’s fiber type and condition. This helps loosen oils, soil, and residue that have accumulated over time.
When appropriate for the rug, it is fully submerged and thoroughly rinsed to flush away loosened soil and cleaning agents without leaving unnecessary residue.
We hang or flat-dry the rug in a controlled environment based on its construction and cleaning requirements.
Once dry, we inspect the rug again and perform any appropriate spot treatment. We also clean and groom the fringe by hand.
After cleaning and final inspection, your rug will be prepared for delivery or scheduled pickup. We will provide any necessary care instructions when your rug is returned.
Professional cleaning can help restore a cleaner, fresher, and more cared-for appearance to area rugs affected by soil, spills, pets, and everyday use.
