Although many people use rug and carpet cleaning interchangeably, it is important to understand the difference between a rug and a carpet. A rug, also known as an area rug, is a floor covering of thick woven material or animal skin, which does not extend over the entire floor. On the other hand, a carpet, also known as a wall-to-wall carpet, covers the entire floor. Because of this distinct difference, area rug cleaning and carpet cleaning are done very differently. Area rugs are cleaned in our state-of-the-art rug cleaning facility in Toronto and wall-to-wall carpets are cleaned in-home with sophisticated steam cleaning technology.
