From your front door to our Yatala facility and safely back again. This is the real process, not a quick spray.
On-floor steam over the top, or a proper off-site wash for your Byron Bay rug?
Most people are stuck on the same decision: have someone steam the rug on the floor where it lies, or send it away to be washed properly. The reason they call us is usually the smell. A rug pulled out of storage carries a stale, rolled-up smell, or an old pet accident keeps coming back every time the room warms up. A van that steams over the top only wets the surface, so the odour soaked into the backing is never reached, and the rug is left damp on your floor. In Byron's coastal humidity that damp can sour or go mildewy within days. As one customer put it, they were just glad not to have someone steam over it on the floor.
A carpet cleaner with a van can ruin a fine rug
One-size-fits-all carpet machines are the number one cause of rug damage. Here is exactly what goes wrong.

Specialist care, not a quick spray
Your rug is collected and brought to our dedicated washing facility, where it is hand-assessed and cleaned by fibre, then dried under control. A deep, safe clean that protects the rug you love, backed by 29 years and a 7-day free re-wash guarantee.
Built to protect your rug
Free pickup and delivery is built into the price, never bolted on, with no distance charge for Northern NSW. Our van runs the Byron and NSW route on set days each week, so the bulky rug never has to fold into your car.
We never steam your rug on the floor and we never use an automated machine. It is a full immersion hand wash at our dedicated Yatala facility, the off-site wash a delicate wool, silk or Persian rug genuinely needs.
Full immersion flushes the whole rug through, so the musty storage smell and set-in pet urine are washed out, not sprayed over. It comes back genuinely fresh and neutral, not perfumed, which is the single most common thing our reviews mention.
IICRC technicians identify the fibre and dye-test for colour-fastness before a drop of water, then dry your rug under controlled airflow. That is why it comes back fully dry and ready to lay straight down, not damp in the humidity.
7 careful stages, all 15 steps
No shortcuts and no guessing. Your rug moves through the same specialist system every time, from your front door and safely back again.
Standard turnaround 7 days door to door, or 48-hour service on request.

Common questions
How much does rug cleaning cost?
Every rug is priced by its size, fibre and condition, so we give you a custom quote rather than a bargain headline price that surprises you later. Pickup and delivery across Byron Bay and Northern NSW are free with no distance charge, and you save $20 on every extra rug in the same booking. Call 1800 655 949 or send a photo and rough size for a free, no-obligation quote.
How much does it cost to wash an 8x10 rug?
A large 8x10 is priced on its size, fibre and condition rather than a flat figure, because a wool or handmade rug takes more careful hand work than a synthetic one. That is also the rug most people cannot fold into the car, so free pickup and delivery matters most here. Send a photo and the rough dimensions to 1800 655 949 and we will give you an exact quote before anything is booked.
Is it actually worth getting an area rug cleaned?
For a good wool, silk, Persian or handmade rug, yes. A proper off-site immersion wash lifts years of grit, dust and odour that a DIY hire machine or an in-home steam simply cannot, and washing the fibre correctly protects it so the rug lasts longer. At pickup we give you an honest assessment, including telling you straight if a rug is not worth cleaning, so you are never upsold on something past saving.
My rug has a musty, rolled-up smell from storage. Will that come out?
Yes, this is the number one reason people call us. A stale, rolled-up smell sits deep in the pile and backing, so a surface clean will not shift it. We immerse and hand-wash the whole rug through, then dry it under controlled airflow at our Yatala facility, so it comes back smelling neutral and fresh and ready to lay straight down, not damp.
Will old pet-urine smell really come out, or just get masked?
Pet urine soaks deep into the backing, which is exactly why a home clean or quick spray keeps coming back when the room warms up. We treat it as a rug problem, not a surface job, flushing the whole rug through to reach it. At pickup we honestly tell you whether deep-set urine will clear in one wash or may need a further treatment, all backed by our 7-day free re-wash guarantee.
