Rug cleaning? (Specifically orientals)

[brewso.livejournal.com]

We're moving and *gasp* leaving Davis. :( Truly sad. We have several wool orientals and they have had an off-and-on relationship with some icky moths. In an effort not to bring them with us to our current place, I want all of our wool rugs (including one non-oriental Ikea rug) to get a deep clean, and a non-toxic moth treatment, if there is such a thing. I have a baby who sometimes licks the rugs (ew), so definitely non-toxic. Anyone know of a place or person? Hey, I'm happy to have someone drag them out into my backyard and soap and hose them down if that's all I can get. Economical is preferred over any other attributes (except, of course, moth-ridding capabilities). Thanks!

I've used Regal Fabric Care out in Woburn for wool, silk, and cotton orientals. Never had a bad experience, and they are happy to deliver and pick up here.

Thanks! Can you please give me a ballpark price per rug?

Best guess

eh, they can over the phone at least give you a good one. It is based on material, area and the type of dye - some tribals etc use fruit dyes which are delicate. And of course bad stains take more work - like if someone has bled on something. (1) I am not them and (2) I am not a carpet cleaning professional so even if I had the specs I wouldn't be able to do better, so give them a call: (781) 995-0683 or http://regalfabriccare.com/

I've had my better rugs cleaned by Koko Boodakian in Winchester. I don't think they are inexpensive, but you could call for a quote. This page offers a discount: http://www.kokorugs.com/request-quote.php

Seconded

Probably not the cheapest but true pros. If you have older, good-quality rugs, they will clean them without harming them.

Yayla on Broadway Cambridge gives tribals a long-lasting soap wash.

I second Yayla rugs. I've had rugs cleaned and bought there as well.
