The problem

"Your rug is more than décor — it's a functional work of art, and the wrong clean can ruin it. Watermarks, colour bleed, a stiff scratchy pile — the damage a discount cleaner can do to a wool or silk rug is often permanent."

Every rug is different

Wool, silk, viscose and synthetics each need their own chemistry and technique. A one-size clean is how rugs get wrecked.

Fringe, dye and backing

Colour-fastness, delicate fringes and the rug's foundation all have to be tested and protected — not blasted.

The First Class difference

A deeper clean that actually lasts

Certified technique, WoolSafe-approved products, and a residue-free rinse — the details that separate a professional job from a rented machine.

💧

No sticky residue

Our residue-free rinse flushes out every trace of cleaning agent, so surfaces stay cleaner far longer.

🐑

WoolSafe-approved

Products certified safe for wool and delicate fibres — the right chemistry for your specific material.

🌿

A healthier home

Deep extraction lifts allergens, dust mites and trapped soil that a vacuum simply leaves behind.

🎓

IICRC certified

Handled by a certified Master Textile Cleaner — the highest field certification in the industry.

👶

Safe for kids & pets

Gentle, low-residue methods you can feel good about having your family back on within hours.

The owner does the work

Harry shows up and does the job himself, every time — no rotating crews, no learning on your home.

Why homeowners switch to First Class

Not all cleaning is the same. Here's the honest comparison.

✓ FIRST CLASS — THIS IS US

The professional way

  • Residue-free rinse — stays cleaner longer
  • IICRC Certified Master Textile Cleaner
  • Harry or a technician he personally trained does the work, every time
  • Honest, upfront pricing confirmed before we start
  • 100% money-back First Class Guarantee
✕ OTHER COMPANIES — NOT US

Another company's "$99 special"

  • Soap residue left behind — re-soils in weeks
  • Rotating crews, subcontractors, or trainees
  • "$99 special" bait pricing
  • Surprise upsells once they're in your home
  • No real guarantee if you're unhappy

⚠ This is what to avoid — it's not how First Class works.

Gentle, On-Site Rug Care

Our Rug Cleaning Process

STEP 1

Fibre & Dye Testing

We identify the fibre — wool, silk or synthetic — and test the dyes for colourfastness before we start.

STEP 2

Dry Soil Removal

We lift out the dry grit and dust deep in the pile that vacuuming can't reach.

STEP 3

Pre-Treatment & Gentle Cleaning

WoolSafe-approved solutions release soil and stains — cleaned on-site in your home.

STEP 4

Controlled Rinse & Extraction

A residue-free rinse flushes soil without over-wetting delicate rugs.

STEP 5

Grooming & Even Drying

We groom the pile and set the rug to dry evenly — never rolled up or taken away.

Harry Deligiannidis

When you book First Class, the work is done by Harry or a technician he personally trained, every time. No rotating crews, no subcontractors, no one learning on your carpet. Harry has been cleaning carpets and fine textiles across Metro Vancouver since 1997 — 28+ years — and he treats every home like it's the only job that day.

That's why so many clients have stayed with him for a decade or more. You get the same certified, meticulous standard on every visit.

The First Class Guarantee

If you're not completely happy with your clean, you get your money back. No fine print, no runaround — that's the promise Harry stands behind on every single job.

Why fine rugs need specialist cleaning

A hand-knotted wool or silk rug can be worth thousands and last generations — but only if it's cleaned correctly. The wrong pH, too much water, or heat on the wrong fibre can cause colour bleed, browning and permanent stiffness that no amount of re-cleaning fixes.

We start every rug with a fibre and colour-fastness test, then choose the method and chemistry that fibre needs. WoolSafe-approved products protect natural fibres, and controlled drying prevents the watermarks and shrinkage that ruin rugs cleaned the wrong way.

For the North Shore and Vancouver's West Side especially — where fine wool and oriental rugs are common — this is the difference between a rug that's refreshed and one that's damaged. When in doubt, ask first. Harry will tell you honestly what a rug needs.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take my rug away to clean it?
No, and this is a point Harry feels strongly about. Your wool, silk and oriental or area rugs are cleaned on-site in your home, never rolled up and hauled off to a plant. Your rug stays with you the whole time, so there is no risk of it going missing or coming back weeks later.
Are my rug's dyes and fibres safe with your cleaning?
Yes. Harry is WoolSafe-approved and an IICRC-certified Master Textile Cleaner, so he identifies the fibre and checks the dyes for colourfastness before cleaning. The method is then matched to the rug, whether it is wool, silk or a fine oriental piece. That careful, tested approach is how delicate and valuable rugs get cleaned without dye bleed or damage.
Can you really clean a fine oriental or silk rug properly in my home?
Yes. With 28 years cleaning fine textiles across Metro Vancouver, Harry handles oriental, wool and silk rugs on-site with the right method for each. On-site does not mean cutting corners; it means the rug is cleaned thoughtfully and gently where you can see the work. Every job is backed by the 100% money-back First Class Guarantee.
How long will my rug take to dry?
Most rugs dry within about 6 to 12 hours thanks to the residue-free rinse, which draws out moisture and soil rather than leaving it behind. Drying time varies a little with the thickness and fibre of the rug and the airflow in the room. Harry will position it to dry well before he leaves.
Can you get pet accidents and odours out of a rug?
Often, yes. Harry uses an enzyme-based treatment that targets urine and odour at the source, including below the surface where the smell hides. He will be honest at the inspection about how deeply a stain has set and what result to realistically expect. Some accidents lift completely; others improve significantly.
How often should area and wool rugs be cleaned?
Most rugs benefit from a professional clean every 12 to 18 months, sooner in high-traffic spots or homes with pets and allergies. Wool in particular holds a lot of dry soil deep in the pile that regular vacuuming cannot reach. Harry can recommend the right interval based on where the rug lives and how much use it gets.
How do I book, and is there a charge to come to me?
Just call Harry at (604) 839-9008 or fill in the quote form, and he usually replies the same day. Your price is confirmed upfront before work begins, with no bait pricing and no travel surcharge within the service area. Because he comes to you and cleans on-site, there is no drop-off, no pickup and no waiting weeks to get your rug back.
