Natural. Breathable. Cleaned with Care by Mo’s Rug & More.
You love your cotton rugs for their softness, breathability, and casual beauty. However, you need to care for your cotton rugs properly, if you want to keep them fresh, clean, and in active service for a long time. Mo’s Rug & More professionally cleans cotton rugs in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, that are deeply and accurately cleaned, with the careful consideration of not further altering it’s already delicate and fragile nature.
We clean all styles of cotton rugs including:
1. Flat-woven cotton rugs
2. Hand-braided cotton rugs
3. Printed cotton rugs
We will use safe and fiber-specific cleaning processes, regardless of the style or origin of your cotton rug, to remove stains, brighten colors, and retain softness, so you can continue to enjoy your cotton rug as intended while helping to prolong its useful life.
Cotton rugs offer casual elegance, versatility, and affordability. In every style, from braided to flat-woven to printed, cotton rugs add warmth and character to any room. Unfortunately, cotton rugs are naturally absorbent; they retain dirt and stain easily, they absorb moisture and odors (wet cotton rugs can take days to completely dry), and they will wear over time if not regularly cleaned. That’s where we can help!
Mo’s Rug & More provides home owners in Englewood Cliffs and other cities, professional cleaning services for cotton rugs to help you refresh and restore your rug the safe and effective way.
How often should you clean your cotton rug?
The recommendation for professional cleaning of your cotton rug is every 12-18 months depending on the location of the rug and foot traffic. If the rug is located in a high-traffic area or in a house with kids or pets it would be recommended to clean every 6-12 months.
There are some indicators that your cotton rug is due for cleaning:
• Dull appearance, despite regular vacuuming
• Stains that won’t go away or visible dirtiness
• Odd smells, i.e., pets (waste/urine), mildew
• Edges curling up or rug shape changing
• Frequent sneezing or allergy attacks (dust buildup)
Our Cotton Rug Cleaning Process
Mo’s Rug & More has spent considerable time developing a cleaning method very specific to the nature of cotton rugs. Each step in the process has been designed with the intention to clean gently and maintain the integrity of the fiber in the weave.
1. Rug Evaluation
Our evaluations include checking for:
The weave of the rug (flat-woven, braided, looped).
Backing or glue.
Color fastness of the dyes.
Wear at the fringe or edge.
Existing stains or damage.
Evaluation is important to ensure the safest and most effective cleaning process for your cotton rug.

2. Dry Soil Removal
Cotton rugs will hold much more dry soil than you think! Before any wet cleaning, we remove embedded dirt and grit, which can break down the fibers, using industrial dusting equipment and air tools.
This process is critical, and you cannot achieve anywhere near the same effectiveness by vacuuming or washing at home.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
3. Gentle Hand Washing
We wash cotton rugs by hand, using cold water or lukewarm water and plant-based, pH-neutral, dye-free cleaners that do not include bleach, enzymes, or harsh surfactants.
Unlike carpet cleaners, who use hot water and steam, we do not immerse cotton rugs. We choose low age levels of moisture. Then with safe agitation methods, we loosen dirt from the fibers with moisture only.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
4. Spot and Stain Treatment
We utilize stain removers that are safe for cotton to treat stains from food, pets, and wear. We are careful to not damage any natural dyes or excessively lighten any area of the textile because this may occur if we bleach or scrub the cotton rug too hard.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
5. Controlled Drying
We need to ensure cotton rugs are completely dried to prevent mildew, odors, or distortion of the fibers. It is much better to flatten the rugs out in nearly a temperature-controlled environment while airflow is filtered to keep from drying unevenly. Drying in a controlled environment will ensure each section of the rug will dry at the same rate.
We gave extra care to the rugs with fringes to keep from tangling or stiffening.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
6. Final Grooming and Inspection
Once the rug has been cleaned and dried, we then groom it to return softness and direction of the fibers, and finally we do a quality inspection before wrapping the rug up to leave for its destination.
Stain & Odor Removal for Cotton Rugs
Cotton rugs generally absorb any liquids very fast, which is a challenge when it comes to stain removal. However, we’re capable of handling virtually all of the following:
• Food & beverage spills
• Pet urine and odors
• Ink or dye transfer
• Mud, water damage, and mildew
Our crew employs soft agitation and targeted stain removal methods – never any harsh bleaches or hard abrasives that could damage the fibers when removing stains or odors.
