I used Pro Clean for my rental property. The carpet was really dirty, I was concerned that I would have to replace it. Pro Clean was on time, competitively priced and did a terrific job. This family owned business far exceeded my expectations.

Refresh High-Traffic Living Room Rugs, Dining Rugs & Entryway Runners
Lift Tracked-In Soil, Food Spills & Pet Dander While Protecting Rug Backings
With hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl plank flooring in so many Northeast Ohio homes, decorative area rugs and hallway runners now absorb the brunt of daily foot traffic. Front-door runners catch winter road salt and slush; living room rugs collect snack crumbs, coffee spills, and pet hair; and dining room rugs catch food drops beneath chairs.
At Pro Clean Carpet Cleaning, LLC, we provide convenient, deep area rug and runner cleaning across North Royalton, Cleveland, Parma, Strongsville, Medina, and Akron. We clean synthetic polypropylene (olefin), nylon, polyester, shag, braided, commercial walk-off mats, and machine-woven wool-blend rugs using conditioned soft water and controlled vacuum extraction.
Have a fine hand-knotted Persian, Turkish, or heirloom wool rug? See our dedicated Oriental & Fine Rug Cleaning page for our dye-tested natural-fiber care.
How We Clean Decorative Area Rugs & Runners
Step 1
Backing & Fiber Check
We inspect the face fiber (polypropylene, nylon, polyester, or wool blend) and the backing style (woven polypropylene, jute, or latex-tufted) to set safe temperature and pressure.
Step 2
Traffic-Lane Pre-Treatment
Polypropylene and polyester area rugs are oleophilic—meaning they hold onto cooking oils and skin oils. We apply targeted emulsifiers to brighten matted traffic paths.
Step 3
Soft-Water Rinse & High-Suction Dry Pass
We flush the rug pile with conditioned soft water and perform extra dry-vacuum passes so the rug dries quickly without curling edges or dampening floors underneath.
Caring for Tufted Latex-Backed Rugs, Shag Rugs & Entry Walk-Off Runners
Many popular Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Wayfair, and department-store area rugs are 'hand-tufted' rugs where yarn tufts are held in place with a latex adhesive backing covered by a glued canvas cloth. If a cleaner saturates a latex-backed rug with too much water or harsh solvents, the latex adhesive can weaken or emit a rubbery odor. Our technicians adjust moisture levels and vacuum recovery specifically for tufted backings.
Similarly, polypropylene (olefin) rugs—the most common synthetic area rug fiber—resist water-based stains well but attract oily residue from bare feet, shoes, and pets, causing traffic paths in front of sofas to look dark and matted. Our oil-emulsifying pre-spray and soft-water extraction lift that gray film right off the polypropylene fibers.
Because our trucks are already at your home when cleaning wall-to-wall bedrooms and stairs, upholstered sofas, or hardwood and tile floors, adding your area rugs and entryway runners to the same appointment is fast and cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions: Area Rug & Hallway Runner Cleaning in Cleveland & North Royalton, OH
Helpful answers from our IICRC-certified North Royalton & Cleveland cleaning team.
Can you clean my area rugs at the same time as my bedroom or basement carpets?
Yes! Most customers have us clean their living room, dining room, and foyer area rugs during the same appointment as their wall-to-wall carpet or upholstery cleaning.
Why do synthetic polypropylene (olefin) area rugs get dark traffic paths so quickly?
Polypropylene fibers naturally attract oils from shoes, bare feet, pets, and kitchen air. Vacuuming alone cannot remove oil film. Our pre-conditioner emulsifies those oils so our soft-water rinse can extract them completely.
Is it safe to clean area rugs that sit on hardwood or laminate floors?
Yes. We inspect the rug thickness and backing, adjust water pressure and vacuum extraction so moisture does not penetrate through to the wood floor, or move smaller rugs onto a tiled surface during cleaning.
Can you remove dog or cat urine odors from area rugs?
Yes, in most cases. Our enzyme pet odor treatment breaks down the uric acid crystals in the rug pile and backing, and then we extract the spot with conditioned soft water. Very old stains can leave a faint color change even after the odor is gone.
