REFRESH Simonian Rugs  ·  Maintenance Program  ·  Care that fits the rugs you live with

30–40% less.
Every time.
For life.

The Refresh is our 9-step maintenance program — lighter, faster, and 30–40% less than a full deep clean. Built for rugs that are already cared for, and for the families who care for them. If your rug needs a full reset first, we'll start there. Either way, this is the path that keeps a real rug a real rug, year after year.

What The Refresh is

Our 9-step maintenance program for rugs already in good shape.

The Refresh costs us less time and effort. A well-maintained rug doesn't need the same intensity of process as a rug being deep-cleaned for the first time.

So we pass those savings directly to you — 30 to 40% less than The Works, every single visit, for the life of your rug.

Over 10 years, the complete Simonian maintenance system is dramatically more affordable than sporadic deep cleaning — and your rug is cleaned more consistently, which is better for the fibers.

For rugs previously cleaned professionally
2–3 years since last professional cleaning
No heavy soiling, persistent odors, or pet accidents
Foundation in stable condition
New rug? Or one that's been sitting?

Every rug we clean through The Works immediately moves onto The Refresh program for life. The path is simple:

01
First visit: The Works
Full 12-step deep clean — the complete reset
02
Every 2–3 years: The Refresh
You're on the maintenance program, 30–40% less
03
Every 10 years: The Works again
Full foundation reset — start the cycle again

Why The Refresh Exists

A real rug is a long-term commitment.
So is taking care of it.

A great rug isn't a quick purchase. People save for them. They get passed down. They sit in the room where the family gathers — where kids play, where holidays happen, where life leaves its mark.

The Refresh exists because we believe the people who do right by their rugs shouldn't be priced out of doing right by them. Steady, gentle, affordable maintenance — so your rug stays the rug your family knows for the next 20 years.

The Loyalty Principle
"We built The Refresh because the people who take care of their rugs shouldn't be charged the same as someone bringing in a rug that hasn't been touched in 15 years. Doing right by your rug should cost less, not more."

When a rug is on The Refresh, it means something important: it's been well maintained. It gets cleaned every 2–3 years like it should. That's a rug owner we want to reward.

All 9 Steps  ·  In Order  ·  Every Time

Lighter than The Works. Thorough where it counts.

Every step is here for a reason. The Refresh skips the steps that aren't needed for a well-maintained rug — and keeps every step that is.

01
Inspection & Eligibility
Quick but thorough assessment to confirm the rug qualifies for Refresh. Overall condition confirmed. Any new spots or concerns identified and documented.
02
Mechanical Dusting
Deep mechanical dusting removes embedded dry soil and allergens. Even well-maintained rugs accumulate significant particulate — this removes it before any liquid touches the rug.
03
Spot Pre-Treatment
Targeted pre-treatment on any visible spots or stains. Chemistry matched to the specific spot type — not a generic spray-and-rinse approach.
04
Front Surface Wash
pH-balanced solution applied to the pile surface. Focuses on the pile surface rather than full foundation immersion — appropriate for rugs that don't need a complete reset.
vs. The Works: Full front & back immersion
05
Gentle Agitation
Hand-assisted agitation loosens surface soils bonded to the pile. Gentler than the full hand-scrub in The Works — appropriate for a rug that's been maintained.
vs. The Works: Full hand-scrub every inch
06
Surface Rinse
Complete rinse removes all cleaning agents from the pile. No residue left behind that would attract future soil or alter the fiber's pH balance.
07
Controlled Drying
Tension-dried to prevent shrinkage or distortion. Same care as The Works — a rug dried improperly won't lie flat and can develop permanent waves in the foundation.
08
Pile Grooming & Finishing
Pile direction restored. Fringe cleaned and dressed. The rug is finished by hand — the way it came off the loom, or as close to it as possible.
09
Final Quality Check
Compared against intake documentation. Rug photographed completed and logged. You're notified when your rug is ready for pickup or delivery — nothing leaves without sign-off.
The Refresh vs. The Works

Know the difference.

Both produce a genuinely clean rug. The difference is intensity — and how long it's been since the last deep clean.
