What does carpet cleaning entail?

Carpet cleaning goes much further than vacuuming or treating a stain with a household product. Professional cleaning removes:


  • Deeply ingrained dirt
  • Bacteria and allergens
  • Fatty and oily substances
  • Odors (e.g. from pets or smoke)


A professional approach will not only extend the life of your rug but also restore its fresh appearance and softness.

Why do people in Gouda choose professional cleaning?

Gouda is known for its historic buildings, charming city center, and characteristic homes. Many residents value a well-maintained and inviting interior. Think Persian rugs, woolen rugs, or modern high-pile varieties: all require specific care.


  • In addition, many households struggle with:
  • Allergies caused by fine dust or house dust mites
  • Pet odors

That is precisely why Gouda residents are increasingly opting for professional cleaning on location in the region – with guaranteed results.

How does the cleaning process work?

Not every rug is the same. Professional cleaning will first carefully assess the rug. Consider:


  • Wool rugs – prone to shrinkage, special treatment required
  • Vintage or Persian rugs – hand-knotted, often vegetable-dyed
  • High pile rugs – difficult to clean yourself, a lot of dirt between the fibers
  • Modern synthetic rugs – often strong, but attract grease and dirt


Each type requires a different approach. That's why professional expertise is so important.


Different types of rugs and their treatment

Each material requires a different approach:


  • Wool: Natural layer of oil requires gentle cleaning
  • Silk: extremely delicate – manual treatment only
  • Cotton: easy to clean, but there is a risk of shrinkage
  • High-pile synthetic: deep cleaning essential due to dirt build-up
  • Persian or Oriental carpets: special method for color preservation



We always tailor the method to your rug – with respect for structure, color and material.


Common problems in Gouda households

  1. Stains from wine, coffee or sauce
  2. Dog or cat odor
  3. Pet hair between the fibers
  4. Allergic reactions to dust and pollen
  5. Nicotine odor or soot particles


With the right treatment, these are all solvable problems.

When is cleaning necessary?

Don't wait until the rug is visibly dirty. You'll often notice it sooner:


  • Smell
  • Discoloration
  • Allergy complaints
  • Dull appearance


An average household in Gouda has a rug cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on use and family situation.

  • Pick up and delivery in the Gouda region
  • Specializing in various materials
  • Experienced professionals with attention to detail
