What Makes Rug Cleaning Different
A rug is not wall to wall carpet. It can be wool or synthetic, and the dyes, the backing and the weave all change how it should be cleaned. A method that works on carpet can leave a rug stiff, faded or bleeding color. We check the rug first and clean it to fit. Looking for carpet cleaning? See our steam carpet cleaning.

How We Clean Rugs
Dry Soil Removal
We remove loose dust and grit first, because dry dirt gets in the way of a good clean.
Pre-Treatment
A pH neutral pre-treatment loosens soil without being harsh on the fibers.
Gentle Agitation
We work the pre-treatment in gently so the rug is not roughed up.
Rinse
A rinse with conditioned water carries away the soil and the cleaning solution.
Final Grooming and Inspection
We groom the rug and check the results with you before we finish.

Pet Accidents and Stains on Rugs
Pet accidents and spills can soak through a rug. Some stains come out and some do not. It depends on the stain, the material and how long it has been there. Dan checks the rug and tells you what to expect before he starts.
What It Costs
The price depends on the size of the rug, the material, how dirty it is and any add-ons you choose. Dan gives you a clear quote before the work starts. Call Dan or send the form and he will call you back during business hours. You can also email a photo to A1steamwaycarpetcleaning@gmail.com.

What Modesto Customers Say
I am so happy I chose to call A1 steam way. I have never had my carpets professionally cleaned before and they are about 3 years old. I do know my carpet is pretty cheap, so I honestly wasn't expecting such a great outcome. I had one room in particular that I called about which had kitten pee. I used my home shampooer and it did enough to not reek like cat pee, but not enough to smell fresh. There was an odor I could just not remove no matter what I did. Well A1 got the job done. After the carpet fully dried, and the smell of the cleaners calmed down a bit, the room finally smells normal. It's been maybe two weeks now and every is still fresh looking and smelling. I was also very grateful for the price point. He did another bed room and 2 area rugs all for his minimum price which I really appreciated. He was a pleasure to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future!
Area Rug Cleaning FAQs
The price depends on the size of the rug, the material, how dirty it is and any add-ons. Dan gives you a clear quote before the work starts. Call Dan or send the form and he will call you back during business hours.
Size is only part of it. The material, the condition and any add-ons change the price too. Call Dan at (209) 648-0596 with the size and the material, or email a photo to A1steamwaycarpetcleaning@gmail.com, and he will give you a clear quote.
It depends on the rug. How well the cleaning solution is rinsed out and how the rug is dried matter more than the name of the method. Wool and delicate rugs often need gentler care than synthetic ones, which is why we check the rug first. Ask Dan which approach fits yours.
Start by vacuuming both sides to remove loose dirt. Test any cleaner on a hidden corner, and do not soak the rug. Heavy soil, pet stains and delicate rugs are better left to a professional.
Check the care tag if it has one, and test a hidden corner for color bleed. If the rug is old, wool or delicate, or you are not sure, call Dan before you wet it.
