In-Home Area Rug Cleaning in Calgary
Area rugs can be beautiful, expensive, and surprisingly difficult to clean. At A Magic Wand, our low-moisture process allows us to clean many area rugs right in your home—without sending them away for weeks.

Traditional rug cleaning can sometimes mean taking your rug out of the home, transporting it somewhere else, and waiting for it to be cleaned and returned. Depending on the cleaning company and the rug, that process can take weeks. We offer a much more convenient option.
Because we specialize in low-moisture cleaning, we can clean many area rugs right in your home. Your rug stays where it belongs, your hardwood floors stay dry, and in many cases your rug can be dry and ready to use within a few hours. For busy Calgary homeowners, that’s a big advantage.
Our Low-Moisture Area Rug Cleaning Process
Our area rug cleaning process is similar to our professional carpet-cleaning system. We use our cleaning solution, professional equipment, and specially designed Stain Erase Pads to work on the rug fibres and loosen dirt, soil, and stains.
Our primary cleaning solution is our Encapsulator. It is designed to surround soil with microscopic particles of cleaning solution. As the rug dries, the encapsulated soil can then be removed through normal vacuuming.
The major difference is that we use considerably less moisture than many traditional wet-cleaning methods. That allows us to clean many area rugs right where they are in your home.
Keeping the Floor Beneath Your Rug Dry
One important part of our in-home area rug cleaning process is controlling the amount of moisture being used. We do not wet through the back of the rug. That’s particularly important when your area rug is sitting on hardwood flooring.
Excess moisture underneath a rug can potentially create problems for the flooring beneath it. Our low-moisture process is designed to avoid unnecessarily saturating the rug and getting moisture through to your hardwood floors. We clean the rug while keeping the process controlled and convenient.
Helping Rug Fibres Feel Soft
Area rugs don’t just need to be clean—we also want them to feel good. As part of our cleaning process, we can add a fabric softener where appropriate for the rug. This can help leave the fibres feeling softer and more pleasant underfoot after cleaning.
As with any cleaning product, we consider the type and condition of the rug before deciding which products and treatments are appropriate.
Treating Area Rug Stains and Soil
Area rugs take plenty of abuse. They collect dirt from shoes, spills from food and drinks, pet accidents, and the everyday traffic that comes with having a busy home. Our Stain Erase Pads and professional cleaning solutions allow us to work on many different types of stains and soil.
For more difficult staining, our optional Stain Away treatment may also be appropriate. Stain Away is our peroxide-based additive and provides additional cleaning power for challenging stains such as:
- Pet stains
- Coffee
- Red wine
- Food spills
- Older or heavily soiled areas
No Need to Send Your Area Rug Away
One of the biggest advantages of our low-moisture process is that your area rug doesn’t have to leave your house. There’s no need to:
- Roll up and transport your rug
- Find somewhere to store it
- Wait weeks for it to come back
- Rearrange your home around an empty space
- Worry about transporting a large, heavy rug
Instead, we come to you and clean the rug right in your home. Once the cleaning is finished, your rug can typically be back in service within a few hours, depending on the rug and conditions. That’s a lot easier than sending your rug away for an extended period.
Faster Area Rug Drying
Our low-moisture cleaning system is the reason we can offer this type of service. We don’t need to saturate your area rug with large amounts of water. Less moisture means less drying time and allows us to clean many rugs without removing them from the home.
