When it comes to rug cleaning, not all services are created equal. Rugs are more than just floor coverings—they’re investments, family heirlooms, and works of art. Whether you have a fine Persian rug, a hand-knotted Afghan piece, or a modern designer wool rug, you need more than just a surface cleaning. You need care, skill, and precision.
That’s where the choice between Stanley Steemer and Zoom Rugs Handwash Cleaning becomes more than just a price comparison. It’s about who truly understands and respects your rug.
Let’s dive deeper into the differences:
Stanley Steemer uses hot water extraction, commonly referred to as “steam cleaning.” It’s great for wall-to-wall carpets and synthetic rugs. But this method forces water and cleaning agents into the fibers and backing—sometimes too aggressively for delicate or antique rugs.
Zoom Rugs, however, offers traditional handwashing—a time-tested method used for centuries to preserve rugs. This involves:
🧼 Result? A much deeper, gentler, and safer clean—especially for wool, silk, and handwoven rugs.
When a Stanley Steemer technician visits, they may be excellent at carpet cleaning—but they’re not typically rug specialists. They treat rugs like any other textile. But rugs—especially handmade or vintage pieces—have natural dyes, delicate weaves, and unique constructions that require expertise.
Zoom Rugs is a team of rug professionals trained to identify:
Whether it’s a $100 IKEA rug or a $15,000 Persian masterpiece, each rug is treated with specific care tailored to its needs.
Stanley Steemer stops at cleaning. Zoom Rugs goes further.
At Zoom Rugs, we offer:
Think of it as a full spa day for your rug, not just a car wash.
While Stanley Steemer offers in-home rug cleaning (which is fast), this often leads to partial drying, lingering smells, or residue left behind.

This makes us the top choice for clients who value time, care, and results.
