Professional Rug Cleaning in Montana, Pretoria
Rugs add warmth, colour and comfort to your home, but they also collect dust, dirt, pet hair, spills and everyday foot traffic. Skitterblink Montana provides professional cleaning for standard loose rugs, helping to lift trapped dirt, refresh the fibres and leave your rugs looking and smelling cleaner.
Whether your rug sits in a busy lounge, underneath the dining-room table or beside the bed, our team will assess it and recommend the most suitable cleaning approach.

Why Professional Rug Cleaning Matters
Vacuuming helps remove loose surface dirt, but it may not remove the dirt, spills and odours trapped deeper inside the rug fibres.
Professional rug cleaning can help:
- Lift embedded dirt
- Remove surface marks and spills
- Reduce unwanted odours
- Remove trapped pet hair
- Refresh flattened or tired-looking fibres
- Improve the overall appearance of the rug
- Create a fresher living environment
- Extend the usable life of a well-maintained rug
Results depend on the rug’s material, age, condition and previous damage. Some permanent stains, discolouration or fibre damage may remain after cleaning.

Inspection
Our Rug-Cleaning Process
1. Initial Assessment
Before cleaning begins, we inspect the rug’s general condition, material, backing and problem areas.
We look for:
- Stains and spills
- Pet urine or odours
- Loose fibres
- Frayed edges
- Colour damage
- Previous chemical damage
- Weak or damaged backing
- Areas of heavy wear
2. Suitable Treatment Selection
The cleaning approach is selected according to the type and condition of the rug.
Not every rug should be treated in exactly the same way. Our assessment helps us determine whether the rug is suitable for our cleaning process.
3. Spot and Problem-Area Treatment
Visible marks and problem areas are treated where appropriate.
While we aim to achieve the best possible result, complete stain removal cannot be guaranteed. The outcome may depend on what caused the stain, how long it has been present and whether other products have already been used on it.
4. Professional Cleaning
The rug is professionally cleaned to lift accumulated dirt and refresh the fibres.
Extra attention is given to heavily used areas and visible marks.
5. Final Inspection
Once the cleaning process has been completed, the rug is checked to ensure that the agreed service has been carried out.
We will also advise you of any important drying or aftercare instructions.
Pet Stains and Odour Treatment
Pets are part of the family, but their little accidents can leave a rather memorable calling card.
Pet urine may move through the rug fibres and into the backing or surface underneath. This means the affected area may require more than ordinary surface cleaning.
Please let us know about pet accidents before we quote so that we can assess:
- The size of the affected area
- How long the odour has been present
- Whether the urine has reached the rug backing
- Whether previous products have been applied
- Whether additional odour treatment may be needed
Pet stain and odour treatments may carry an additional charge.
Although professional treatment can significantly improve many odour problems, complete removal cannot be guaranteed when urine has deeply penetrated the rug backing or caused permanent damage.

Rug Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rug cleaning cost?
Rug cleaning starts from R55 per square metre.
The final price depends on the rug’s size, material, thickness, condition and the treatments required. A minimum service charge may apply.
How do I calculate the size of my rug?
Measure the rug’s length and width in metres.
Send both measurements to us with clear photographs, and we will use the information to prepare your quote.
Do you clean Persian rugs?
Can you clean shaggy rugs?
Send us photographs of the front, back and label so that we can advise you.
Can all rug stains be removed?
The result depends on the substance, the rug’s material, the age of the stain and whether other chemicals have previously been applied.
Can you remove pet urine smells?
Results depend on how deeply the urine has penetrated the fibres and backing. Additional treatment and charges may apply.
How long will my rug take to dry?
Drying time varies according to the rug’s material, thickness, ventilation, weather and humidity.
Our team will provide applicable aftercare instructions once the rug has been cleaned.
Should I use stain remover before you arrive?
We recommend that you do not apply additional household chemicals before we assess the rug.
Certain products can bleach the fibres, set stains or react with professional cleaning products.
Can you quote from a photograph?
We can often provide an initial quote using clear photographs, accurate measurements and information about the rug’s condition.
The quote may need to be adjusted if the rug differs significantly from the information supplied.
Is rug cleaning the same as fitted carpet cleaning?
This is why the rug must be assessed separately before cleaning.
