Professional Rug Cleaning Services in Singapore
Your rug takes a daily beating from shoes, food spills, pets and Singapore's humidity, and a regular vacuum simply cannot reach the dirt trapped deep in the pile. Athena's professional rug cleaning lifts out embedded grime, dust mites and stubborn odours, restoring colour and softness. From delicate Persian heirlooms to chunky shaggy floor rugs, we treat every piece with the right method, water temperature and pH-balanced solution.
Athena Cleaning Services is a Singapore-registered cleaning company based at 2 Venture Drive #14-02, Vision Exchange. Our trained technicians handle wool, silk, synthetic and hand-knotted rugs every week, and we tailor each wash to the fibre rather than forcing one harsh process onto everything. With transparent SGD pricing, free islandwide pickup and careful drying, we make caring for your rugs simple, safe and genuinely thorough.
Why Choose Athena for Professional Rug Cleaning
Rugs are an investment, and the wrong cleaning approach can shrink wool, bleed silk dyes or leave musty smells that worsen in humid weather. Our professional rug cleaning combines fibre testing, gentle agitation and controlled-temperature drying so colours stay vibrant and the foundation stays intact. We are a local rug cleaning company that explains exactly what we will do before any water touches your rug, with no surprise charges.
Trained Technicians, Fibre-First Approach
Every rug is inspected for fibre type, dye stability and construction before we begin. Wool rug cleaning, silk and synthetic pieces each need different solutions and water temperatures. This fibre-first method protects your rug from felting, shrinkage and colour run, which are the most common results of DIY or generic carpet rug cleaning in Singapore.
Transparent SGD Pricing
We quote clearly per square foot or per piece so you know the cost upfront. Standard synthetic and wool rugs typically start from S$3 to S$6 per square foot, while delicate silk and hand-knotted Persian rugs are quoted by piece after inspection. No hidden fees, and we confirm the price before collection.
- Free islandwide pickup and delivery for most rug cleaning bookings
- Specialist rug stain removal for wine, coffee, ink, pet and food stains
- pH-balanced, child- and pet-safe cleaning solutions
- Controlled drying to prevent mould, mildew and musty odours
Rug Types We Clean: Wool, Silk, Persian and More
No two rugs are the same, so our area rug cleaning adapts to each material. Wool needs gentle handling and lukewarm water; silk demands cool water and minimal agitation; synthetics tolerate deeper washing; and shaggy rugs require extra grooming to free trapped grit. Understanding the fibre is the difference between a refreshed rug and a damaged one, which is why we test before we treat.
Persian and Wool Rug Cleaning
Hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs often carry decades of family value, so our Persian rug cleaning uses gentle hand-washing, colour-fastness tests and slow flat-drying. Wool rug cleaning follows similar care to avoid felting and shrinkage, preserving the natural lanolin that keeps wool soft, resilient and naturally stain-resistant for years to come.
Silk, Synthetic and Shaggy Rugs
Silk rugs receive the gentlest cool-water treatment to protect their sheen and prevent dye bleed. Synthetic polypropylene and nylon rugs handle a deeper wash for heavily soiled homes. Shaggy and high-pile rugs get thorough pile separation and grooming, removing the sand, hair and dust that ordinary vacuuming leaves buried deep at the base.
- Wool and Oriental rugs washed with lukewarm, pH-balanced solutions
- Silk and viscose rugs handled with cool water and minimal agitation
- Polypropylene, nylon and polyester synthetic rugs deep-washed
- Shaggy, jute and cotton rugs groomed and detailed by hand
Our Rug Cleaning Process Step by Step
Great results come from a consistent, careful method rather than a quick surface spray. Our rug cleaning process is built around inspection, dusting, gentle washing, targeted stain treatment and proper drying. Each rug is logged on collection and checked again before delivery, so you receive your rug fully cleaned, deodorised and ready to lay back down with confidence in your home.
Inspection, Dusting and Pre-Treatment
We begin by inspecting fibre, dye and pre-existing wear, then dry-dust the rug to remove loose soil and sand from deep in the pile. Stains and high-traffic areas are pre-treated with suitable solutions, so the main wash works more effectively without needing harsh chemicals that could weaken fibres or fade colour.
Washing, Rinsing and Drying
The rug is gently washed and thoroughly rinsed to flush out detergent residue that attracts dirt. We then extract excess water and dry the rug flat in a controlled, ventilated area. Correct drying is vital in Singapore's humidity, preventing the mould, mildew and musty smell that improper rug cleaning often leaves behind.
- Pre-cleaning inspection and colour-fastness test on every rug
- Deep dusting to remove embedded sand, grit and dust mites
- Targeted rug stain removal before the main wash
- Controlled flat-drying to protect fibres and prevent odour
Free Pickup, Delivery and Turnaround Times
We make professional rug cleaning convenient for busy Singapore households and offices. Our team collects your rug from your home or workplace, cleans it at our facility where rugs are washed and dried properly, and returns it to your door. You never have to roll, carry or transport a heavy, dusty rug yourself, and we work around your schedule for both pickup and delivery.
Islandwide Collection and Return
We provide free pickup and delivery across Singapore for most rug cleaning orders, from condos and HDB flats to landed homes and offices. Simply book a convenient slot, and our team handles the lifting and transport. For very small single rugs, a minimum order may apply, which we confirm clearly when you enquire.
Typical Turnaround Times
Most standard rugs are ready within three to five working days, depending on size, soiling and the natural drying time each fibre needs. Delicate silk and large Persian rugs may take a little longer to dry safely. We never rush drying, because proper curing is what keeps your rug fresh, mould-free and lasting longer.

- Flexible collection slots for homes, condos and offices
- Standard rugs typically returned within 3 to 5 working days
- Careful handling, wrapping and transport throughout the process
Rug Stain Removal and Odour Treatment
Spills happen, and the longer a stain sits, the harder it is to lift. Our rug stain removal targets red wine, coffee, curry, ink, pet accidents and food spills using fibre-safe solutions matched to the stain and material. We pair stain work with deodorising treatments that neutralise smells at the source, rather than masking them, leaving your rug genuinely fresh.
Tough Stains and Pet Odours
Pet urine, mould spots and old set-in stains need more than a surface wipe. We treat the affected area at the base of the pile and apply enzyme-based deodorisers that break down odour-causing residue. For households with pets or young children, this thorough rug cleaning service makes a noticeable difference to freshness and indoor air.
Allergen and Dust Mite Reduction
Rugs trap dust, pollen and dust mites that aggravate allergies and asthma, especially in humid Singapore homes. Our deep washing and dusting remove these allergens far more effectively than vacuuming alone. Regular professional rug cleaning every twelve to eighteen months helps keep your living space healthier and your rugs looking and feeling their best.

- Enzyme treatment for pet urine, odours and accidents
- Deodorising that neutralises smells instead of masking them

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rug cleaning cost in Singapore?
Pricing depends on fibre, size and soiling. Standard synthetic and wool rugs usually start from around S$3 to S$6 per square foot, while delicate silk and hand-knotted Persian rugs are quoted per piece after inspection. We confirm an exact price before collection, with no hidden charges added later.
Do you offer free pickup and delivery for rugs?
Yes. We provide free islandwide pickup and delivery for most rug cleaning bookings across Singapore, covering HDB flats, condos, landed homes and offices. Our team handles all the lifting and transport, so you never carry a heavy, dusty rug. A minimum order may apply for very small single rugs.
How long does professional rug cleaning take?
Most standard rugs are cleaned, dried and returned within three to five working days. Delicate silk and large Persian rugs may take a little longer because we never rush the drying stage. Proper drying in Singapore's humidity is essential to prevent mould, mildew and musty odours.
Can you remove old or set-in stains from my rug?
We can lift many stubborn stains, including wine, coffee, curry, ink and pet accidents, using fibre-safe solutions and targeted treatment. While very old or dye-altering stains cannot always be fully removed, our rug stain removal significantly improves most cases. We assess each stain honestly during inspection before treatment.
Is it safe to clean Persian, silk and wool rugs?
Yes, when handled correctly. We test fibre and dye stability first, then use gentle hand-washing, cool or lukewarm water and slow flat-drying for delicate Persian, silk and wool rugs. This fibre-first approach prevents shrinkage, felting and colour bleed that harsher generic carpet rug cleaning methods can cause.
How often should I get my rugs professionally cleaned?
For most Singapore homes, professional rug cleaning every twelve to eighteen months keeps rugs fresh, hygienic and long-lasting. Homes with pets, young children or heavy foot traffic may benefit from cleaning every six to twelve months. Regular vacuuming between washes also helps reduce embedded dirt and allergens.
