Protectors
Having a stain & fiber protector applied to your rug gives you an extra window of time to treat a spill. It can also allow for more soil to release when you vacuum when compared to non-protected rugs.
Professional application of protector to a new or freshly cleaned rug will ensure the ideal result. The product should be thoroughly groomed in to make contact with each of the fibers and allowed to completely dry in a temperature controlled area.
There are two types of protector: solvent based and water based. In general, solvent based fiber protectors perform better than their water based counterparts, especially on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton, but they both essentially help protect the fibers from absorbing a spill too quickly.
Remember that protectors, even when applied professionally, do not make your rugs bulletproof. The protector will help a spill bead up and sit on top of the fibers for up to 15 minutes, but you still want to treat the spill as quickly as possible before it begins to seep through the protective treatment. If the spill does manage to seep through, you will need to have the rug professionally cleaned for your best chance at complete stain removal.
You must still maintain your rugs with regular professional cleaning in order to keep traffic areas clean. Stain & fiber protector should be reapplied after each professional cleaning.
“I took a precious, old area rug of Alpaca Wool to be cleaned. They did a fantastic job! The rug looked like new and they also protected it from stains. It has been easier to clean. I also got a second touch up for free. The people were wonderful, service great and dependable, and expertise exceptional. Love this place! Should win an award for best business in Longmont!”

We are very pleased with all of Imperial's services, but especially their repair of a 40-year old oriental which we wanted to keep. They removed the fringe and repaired the edges so that it looks almost new again. Thanks, Imperial!

Brought in a runner that was filthy and needed a few repairs. I assumed it would come back a bit cleaner - it was gorgeous and repaired - it didn’t end up back on the floor - it’s now hanging. Thanks Imperial!

Imperial did a great job of cleaning our rugs several years ago, so when we recently needed repairs on some old family rugs, we took the rugs here. They did an excellent restoration on all three of the rugs we brought them; you cannot tell they were ever damaged. One was severely damaged around the edges, and we had to reduce the length, but unless you knew this, you would not be able to tell. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

These guys are the absolute best! They've cleaned and repaired three of my rugs and did a fantastic job. All the staff are super friendly and very helpful. They kindly answered all my questions which makes me feel more confident as a consumer when investing in antique rugs.

We've used Imperial twice. First, we had purchased a wool rug at a furniture store and discovered a small cut on it after a few weeks. They made a repair and gave us great advice about caring for the rug. Fast forward a few years later...I took it in for a routine cleaning - and to check it for pet "surprises" in case we missed something. They called before doing the clean to let us know they hadn't found anything tough to remove. Just picked up the rug and it looks great! Really friendly business owners who know what they are doing. The cost of the service is worth the piece of mind knowing they are honest and professional.

When my partner spilled charcoal all over my family's antique hooked rug, I thought I it was toast. Imperial Rug Cleaning saved it, and did the most wonderful job of making it feel like new! They even did some excellent repairs. They are highly professional, kind, and do an excellent job!

Just had my rug cleaned by Imperial Rug Cleaning. It is a rug that has literally never been cleaned once, that I purchased 18 years ago. It is a wool rug that I purchased in Nepal. It has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's condition began to concern me. I saw the sign for Imperial Rug Cleaning and decided to give them a try. I figured what could it hurt at this point. The rug didn't appear to me that it could be cleaned, in its entirety. When I got to the store, they came out, assessed the rug, got me all set up and told me that this rug would look beautiful after a good cleaning. They told me about the process and said they would call in about two weeks when it was done. About a week later I got a call the rug was done. When I got it home and rolled it out I was absolutely astonished. They did a superb job. The rug looked brand new. The degree to which the rug got cleaned was far far beyond my expectations. I really couldn't believe it. It smelled fresh, felt fresh and clean. Some of the wear problems and such had all but vanished, spots of spilled oil that dotted the rugged were gone. Just a superb job. My rug has new life and is again a warm addition to the home. Thank you so much for the outstanding professional clean job performed on my rug. I will be back and would suggest this service to anyone needing rug cleaning services.

Imperial Rug Cleaning went above and beyond cleaning and repairing my antique rug. I was completely amazed at how bright the colors were and how well they were able to remove areas where the reds had bled into the whites. I highly recommend

We have an antique rug that belonged to one of my husband's late relatives. It came to us with a corner ripped and looked faded, and it was full of dust and cat hair. We took it to Imperial Rug Cleaning, and it came back to us looking like a brand new rug! The colors were bright and they even fixed the ripped corner! I would highly recommend Imperial if you have a valuable rug that is starting to look old. They do a great job.

When it comes to getting your rug cleaned, Imperial Rug Cleaning in Longmont is the BEST! We have a sheepskin rug that had a couple of pet stains that I thought would not come out, but Imperial Rug Cleaning got the stains out. What's more, the stains haven't resurfaced and the rug has been creamy white ever since it's been cleaned.

Such a sweet, professional company! They gave me an honest take on a rug that I brought to get cleaned, which caused THEM to lose the money from the job, but gain a lifetime customer. Awesome company!

We had a 10 x 14 oriental rug that we bought from a Craigslist post cleaned by Imperial a few months ago. They took plenty of time to explain the process. The price was right and we were delighted with the results. The colors in the rug are ever so much brighter than when we brought it in.

I was so very happy with Imperial Rug Cleaning! They cleaned a huge Persian rug that had been soiled terribly by dogs over ten years. They also re-bound one of the edges and corners of the rug and it looks perfect. I am so grateful that this rug was restored to excellent condition with no remaining dog odor. Super happy!!

I took a Turkish, hand hooked rug for fixing. A leaking carpet shampooer carelessly left on the rug caused the dye to run. Imperial Rug repaired the damage and my rug looks good as new. Certainly recommend and will use again when the need arises.

I had Imperial clean 2 area rugs that are definitely used often. The rugs looked brand new when I picked them up. Imperial was very helpful in providing information about my rugs and how to identify quality rugs when a replacement should be needed (the ones I have are not heirlooms but ones I picked up because I liked the print and colors). I would highly recommend Imperial especially if you have high quality or heirloom rugs.
Kim Nicks
00:33 03 Apr 18
These guys gave good honest advice about what I thought was a rug worth cleaning. In other words I saved money by not using them due ti their goid advice. But then I used them again and they accomodated my pick up and drop off in Boulder. Very good service. Did a great job and i would use them again in a heartbeat.

I took two old Persian rugs in for long overdue cleaning. Never had these rugs professionally cleaned before and didn’t know what to expect. Very friendly office staff & woman there took her time going over what was to be done. I felt Imperial did a great job; pricing seemed fair and I was happy with the results.

Dave and his staff are friendly. They gave me information about my rugs that I didn't know. I had some pet stains that are completely gone.

Dave Gerke and staff are great people, friendly, professional and reliable. I had a rug cut to size with new binding of the raw edges. Dave outlined the procedure, gave me options and explained carpet backing and binding to me. It fit perfectly in the space, looked like it had just come from the manufacturer and was very affordable. Definitely will utilize Imperial again and refer business.

They took good care to explain my rug (history and so on), how to care for it and, while I believe to be just a little pricey, a good deal all-in-all. Plus, they are right around the corner from me, so convenient as all get out. I recommend...

The folks at Imperial not only do a great job, but demonstrate honesty and integrity. They told me they would check for pet urine under black light. They found very little evidence of it and, therefore, didn't charge me extra. I wouldn't have known the difference. My rug looks fresh and clean. I'll definitely use them again.

We recently inherited a beautiful but older and dirty rug. We were excited to bring it into our home, but needed it to be cleaned. After looking over the website we chose Imperial Rug Cleaning. They were delightful to work with as they explained their process, and I felt very comfortable with leaving my Grandmothers rug in their care. After inspection, they found a couple areas to repair to avoid any further damage to the end of the rug. I am thoroughly enjoying our beautiful clean rug that reminds me of my childhood days. I highly recommend you give Dave a call at Imperial Rug Cleaning.

Carrie and I just want to give a big shout out for the awesome job you guys did on our oriental wool rug. It's rescued, brought back from the abyss and according to Carrie, better than when we bought it. We were giddy to role it back out on the family room floor and discover it's full of lovely colors we had long forgotten. Thank you!
