Stays cleaner 3× Longer between cleanings measured against traditional steam cleaning

Ever had a rug turn sticky a week after a cleaning?

That tacky feeling is detergent the machine couldn't rinse back out. It dries inside the fiber and stays put, catching whatever the next pair of shoes carries onto the rug.

✓Nothing sticky left behindOur low-moisture method puts only a little solution into the rug and takes the soil out with it, so no soapy film is left for dirt to cling to.
✓Stays cleaner about 3× longerOn average, a rug cleaned our way holds its look about three times longer between visits than a rug given a traditional steam cleaning.
✓No re-soiling a month laterThe dull path that reappears a few weeks after a cleaning is almost always residue pulling soil back. Take the residue away and it stops happening.
✓Hand-washed at our plantFree pickup and delivery, and every rug is matched to a method that suits its fiber.

Rug pickup in Hoover

One trip in the van, and the rug comes home clean

Hoover runs from the I-65 and US-31 side, around Riverchase and the Galleria, across to the 280 corridor at Inverness and Greystone, and our van covers all of it with no travel fee. Pick a day, tell us when, and the technician comes to the door, not the curb.

The inspection happens where the rug lies. Unrolled flat, it gets its fiber read and its dye tested, any mark that may lighten without disappearing is pointed out, the tape goes over it, and the price goes on paper. Nothing leaves the house until you have said yes to that figure.

From there it goes to our plant to be dusted, washed in the way its fiber calls for, rinsed fully and dried slowly all the way through. It comes back rolled and inspected, usually within five to seven business days, and you look it over before anything is charged.

Dusted, washed, dried, inspected

The wash a Hoover dining-room rug needs

The rugs that come to us from Hoover's golf and lake subdivisions are often the formal ones: a wool Oriental under the dining table in Riverchase or Greystone, a hand-knotted piece in the study, a long runner down the hall of a two-story house in Blackridge, Lake Wilborn or Ross Bridge. These rugs are washed, never scrubbed where they lie.

Every rug is dusted first, so the grit that has worked down into the foundation comes out dry. Then the wash is matched to the fiber. Wool is washed cool and rinsed until the water runs clear, so it never felts or shrinks. Silk and viscose get very little water and no scrubbing. Cotton and jute get a gentle wash and a quick, even dry so they never brown. Synthetic family-room rugs can take a harder wash and come back looking new.

The fringe gets its own wash and comes home white. A runner's tread lines are worked on their own. Pet accidents show up under the UV light at the door, and the wash carries the salts up out of the foundation, the only place they ever were. Then a full dry before anything is rolled, a last inspection, and the ride back to Hoover. The whole wash is laid out step by step on our rug cleaning page.

Our Promise

Satisfaction guaranteed, on every rug we wash.

Unroll it, walk on it, look it over in your own light. Point out anything you'd like washed again and it goes back through the plant at no charge, whether you notice it at the door or a few days later. No store credit, no runaround.

How it works

How a Rug Runners pickup works

Book a cleaning

Call, text or book online. You pick the day, often the same day, and an exact arrival time, not a four-hour window.

We measure at your door

Our uniformed tech looks the rug over with you, measures it and writes the price down before it leaves the house.

Washed at our plant

Dusting, a wash matched to the fiber, a controlled dry and a final inspection, all backed by our guarantee.

Delivered back

Most rugs are home in 5–7 business days. We bring it in, roll it out and put the furniture back.

Rugs out, carpet and sofa in

Upholstery and carpet cleaning in Hoover, on the same visit

A pickup is rarely only a pickup. Carpet upstairs, the sofa the dog claims, the mattresses: the technician who loads the rugs can clean all of them right where they are, on the same visit. The carpet work is low-moisture: the cleaning pads lift the soil out, nothing sticky stays in the fiber, and the floor is dry in about an hour, with the kids back on it by supper.

Pet trouble on a rug gets a UV check at the door and an enzyme wash at the plant, backed by our 100% pet odor removal guarantee. Catch the smell on that rug again and it is re-treated free. Repairs to fringe, edges and moth damage are quoted separately once the rug has been looked at.

Every pickup starts at $99. Past that, the tape measure sets the price: a rug on average lands in the one-to-two-dollar range per square foot, and a wool or silk rug sits in the same range as a synthetic, with a gentler wash. Whatever is written at your door is what the invoice says.

When the rug comes home, unroll it in your own light and walk on it. Every rug we wash carries our satisfaction guarantee. Show the technician any spot you want washed again and the rug makes a second trip through the plant, at no charge.

Pickup routes through Hoover

Bluff Park to Greystone, every Hoover address

On the I-65 side we pick up through Riverchase and around the Galleria, in Bluff Park up on the crest of Shades Mountain, and out AL-150 past Patton Creek to Ross Bridge, Trace Crossings, Lake Cyrus and The Preserve beside Moss Rock Preserve. Valleydale Road carries the van east to the 280 side: Inverness around Lake Heather, Greystone behind its gates, Shoal Creek, and the Village at Lee Branch.

Apartments, condos and townhomes make up more than a quarter of Hoover's homes, and they get the same door-to-door pickup: tell us the building and the floor, and the technician carries the rug out and back in. A gate code or a call-ahead for a gated street is noted on the booking so nobody is left waiting.

Questions from Hoover

What Hoover customers ask before the first pickup

Will you pick up from a townhome or an apartment in Hoover?

Yes. A good share of Hoover's homes are apartments, condos and townhomes, from the patio homes in Riverchase and Greystone to the attached homes in Ross Bridge, and the van goes to all of them. Tell us the building, the floor and where to park when you book. The technician carries the rug down, and at delivery brings it back up, unrolls it and sets the furniture back on it.

Can you take the runner off our stairs and bring it back?

If the runner is a loose rug held in place by rods, yes. The technician lifts it, notes how it sat, and it rides to the plant with the other rugs, where the tread lines and the worn edge get the same dusting and wash as any rug. It comes back dry and is laid down the way it was. A runner tacked to the treads is carpet, so say so when you book and we bring the carpet equipment on the same visit.

We're moving out of a Hoover rental. Could the rugs go straight to the new address after the wash?

Yes. Moving pickups are among the most common ones we make: nearly three in ten Hoover homes are rented, so moving day comes around often. We collect the rugs at the old address, wash them while you move, and deliver them to the new one, rolled and dry, usually within five to seven business days. If the new place is not ready yet, ask about wrapping and storage at pickup and we put the terms in writing.

How do you get a big dining-room rug out from under the table?

The technician does it, not you. The chairs come off, the table is lifted or walked to one side, the rug is looked over and measured where it lies, and once you have approved the written price it is rolled and carried out. The table goes back for the week the rug is away. At delivery the rug is unrolled, squared up, and the table and chairs are set back on it before we leave.

While the van is here for the rugs, can the same tech do the carpet upstairs?

Plenty of Hoover families book exactly that. While the rugs are going into the van, the bedroom carpet, the stairs or the sofa get cleaned by the same technician, low-moisture and walkable in about an hour. One arrival time, one written price covering all of it, and the rugs come back a few days later. Pet spots on the carpet get an enzyme treatment at the source, with the same pet odor guarantee as the rugs.
