Rug cleaning questions, answered
How much does rug cleaning cost in Boise?
Fine rug cleaning is priced by the square foot and varies with the fiber, construction, and condition of the rug. Wool and silk Orientals cost more than machine-made rugs. Fiber Specialties inspects every rug and gives an exact written price before cleaning.
Do you offer free rug pickup and delivery?
Yes. Fiber Specialties picks up and delivers rugs free across most of Boise, Meridian, and Eagle on orders that meet our $600 service minimum, with pickup available farther out in the valley for a small travel fee. We wrap and transport your rug safely to our facility, then return it clean, dry, and groomed to your door. Call (208) 272-9705 and we will tell you exactly where your address falls.
How long does professional rug cleaning take?
Most rug cleanings are completed within 2 to 3 weeks. We build in a buffer because some rugs earn a second trip through dusting or washing at no extra charge to you. Busy times of year can run longer, and we will tell you the current turnaround when you call. Expedited service is available for an additional charge. We keep you updated through pickup and delivery.
Who cleans Oriental and Persian rugs near me?
Fiber Specialties in Boise employs two Certified Master Rug Cleaners who specialize in hand-knotted Oriental and Persian rugs. We full-immersion wash these rugs by hand using pH-correct, color-safe methods that machine-based carpet cleaners cannot safely replicate.
Can you remove pet urine and odor from a rug?
Yes. Because we fully submerge and wash rugs, we flush pet urine out of the foundation instead of masking it on the surface. This full-immersion process removes the odor and the crystals that cause it, which spot cleaning alone leaves behind.
Are you certified to clean wool and antique rugs?
We are. Our team holds Certified Master Rug Cleaner, IICRC, and WoolSafe credentials, and we clean fragile antique and silk rugs with conservation-safe methods. These certifications mean your high-value rugs are handled by trained specialists, not general cleaners.
Do you clean rugs shipped from out of state?
Yes. Fiber Specialties cleans rugs shipped from anywhere in the United States. We guide you through safe packing and insured shipping, clean and repair the rug in Boise, then ship it back to you, wrapped and protected for the return trip.
What areas do you serve around Boise?
We serve the entire Treasure Valley, including Boise and its North End, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Caldwell, and Garden City, plus nationwide ship-in service. Call (208) 272-9705 or schedule free pickup to get started.

The three questions that come up most
Almost every call starts in one of three places: what it will cost, how long it will take, and whether a rug is safe in water. Pricing is by the square foot and always confirmed in writing after we inspect the rug, most rug cleanings are completed within 2 to 3 weeks, and dyes are tested before anything is submerged. The pages below go deeper on each one.
What will it cost?
Priced by the square foot, with an exact written price before cleaning begins and no hidden fees. See rug cleaning cost in Boise.
How does washing work?
Inspect, dust, full-immersion hand wash, rinse, controlled drying, grooming. Walk through our 10-step washing process.
Can my rug be saved?
Chewed edges, worn fringe, and open holes are usually repairable. See rug repair & restoration and our before & after gallery.
Why we wash rugs at the facility, not in your home
A fine rug holds dry soil deep in its foundation, and pet urine soaks all the way through to the back. Neither can be flushed out without submerging and rinsing the rug, and controlled drying afterwards is what keeps dyes from migrating. That is the difference between rug cleaning and carpet cleaning, see Oriental rug cleaning vs. carpet cleaning and in-home vs. facility cleaning.

Questions about a specific rug
What is safe for a machine-made wool rug is not safe for a hand-knotted silk one, so the honest answer usually depends on fiber and construction. Our care guides cover the common cases: telling wool from silk or synthetic, wool rug care, pet urine in a wool rug, and moth damage.
If you are not sure what you own, bring it in or send a photo, identifying origin and construction is the first thing we do at inspection.
