Pet Owners’ Guide to Rug Cleaning: Keep Your Home Fresh and Healthy

For pet owners, rugs add warmth and beauty to the home—but they also act as magnets for fur, stains, and odors. From muddy paw prints to unexpected accidents, keeping your rugs clean can feel like a never-ending battle.

At Rugs Cleaning New Jersey, we know exactly what it takes to restore rugs while keeping your home healthy and fresh. Here’s your ultimate guide to pet-friendly rug care.

1. Vacuum Frequently to Control Fur & Dander

Pets shed constantly, and their dander can build up deep within rug fibers. Vacuuming your rug 2–3 times a week helps reduce allergens and keeps rugs looking fresh.

Pro Tip: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter for better air quality in your home.

2. Blot, Don’t Rub, Pet Accidents

Accidents happen—but how you handle them makes all the difference. Always blot spills or accidents with a paper towel or clean cloth. Rubbing spreads the stain and pushes it deeper into the fibers.

If odors linger, don’t rely on strong chemicals—they can damage the rug’s natural fibers. Instead, let our experts use pet-safe cleaning solutions that remove stains and neutralize odors without harming your rug.

3. Schedule Professional Cleaning Regularly

Even with regular vacuuming, pet odors and bacteria can linger. Professional cleaning every 6–12 months is essential for pet-friendly homes. Our services include:

• Deep dust and allergen removal

• Eco-friendly, pet-safe cleaning products

• Odor elimination for long-lasting freshness

• Specialized stain removal for urine, vomit, and more

4. Protect Rugs with a Pet-Friendly Routine

• Place washable mats near entryways to reduce tracked-in dirt.

• Groom your pets regularly to reduce shedding.

• Train pets to avoid scratching or chewing rugs.

These small steps can extend the life of your rug and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
