Oriental and Area Rug Cleaning 

In The Villages, Leesburg & Surrounding Areas


Our eight step cleaning system will leave your rugs looking new and fresh

Experience the Difference 


In-plant rug cleaning is recommended for Oriental Rugs and loose woven rugs. They should not be cleaned on location like wall to wall carpet. Van's Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Service cares for the finest to the most basic rugs from around the world.

We will pick your rug up and bring it to our special cleaning plant where it will receive our very thorough Eight Step Cleaning System to get maximum soil and spot removal. Having your rug cleaned in our plant allows us to give it several treatments for a more thorough cleaning, controlled drying, and the use of various tools that are not available on location.

Our New Eight Step Cleaning System


Step 1: Pre-Inspection and Pick Up

We will determine as much as we possibly can about the type of rug and inherent qualities that may affect cleaning. We will outline the expected results and cleaning “prescription”. Our company will come to your home to pick up your rug.

Step 2: Dry Soil Removal

We use a variety of techniques to ‘dust’ the rugs from the front and back, including our new, state-of-the-art Tumble Duster. We also use compressed air, a pile lifter, and special vacuum attachments to remove dry soil from your rug.

Step 3: Pre-Condition

Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify the soils.

Step 4: Pre-Spot and Fringe Preparation

Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringe is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal.

Step 5: Wash

Our new and improved washtub will clean your rugs gently and thoroughly. It consists of paddle wheels, which mimic the gentle motion of hand and river washing. Soil is effectively removed by the gentle, turbulent flow of the wash water without the use of brushes or other mechanical forces that could damage rug fibers. Our rug washing solutions not only provide a thorough cleaning, but they ensure that cross contamination and dye transfer is impossible during the washing process.

Step 6: Rinse

This new machine is one of the most successful rug-wringers in the world. It removes over 90% of moisture from rugs in 3 minutes or less. It allows heavy and dense textiles to be processed quickly and efficiently. Additionally, it is an exceptional tool for removing urine and other contaminants from rugs. Using a combination of centrifugal force, water irrigation, and effective chemistry, contaminants are flushed out of rugs better than any other method!

Step 7: Dry and Finish

Once the rug is removed from the centrifuge, it is hung for final drying in a controlled environment. When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft groomers made for specialty rugs.

Step 8: Post Inspection and Delivery

Our cleaning specialist will give the rug a final inspection and release it for pick up or delivery. Your rug will be wrapped in brown craft paper to protect it from dust and environmental soils until it is picked up or delivered. Upon delivery, we will lay the rug for you.

30 DAY RETURN

You are protected by our 30 Day No Spots Return.

If any spots come back, we return the area FREE. 

What Our clients Say


Absolutely fantastic results! Made a 15 yr old white sofa well-loved by grandchildren and cats look like new.

White tile and grout sparkles. Delightful Ivy on the phone, highly professional and thorough Ernie -

a great experience from beginning to end. Far superior to other services I've used. Highly recommend.

Rachel H. - Leesburg, Fl

Ivy and Ernie VanGorder of Van's Carpet Cleaning are the best! We've used their service for both carpet and upholstery cleaning for four years.

Their attention to detail is top notch and their follow-up calls to guarantee our satisfaction is an outstanding feature of their service.

Their concern for what's going on in our lives is much appreciated, such as the passing of beloved pets and all that comes with a new puppy.

Ernie is extremely knowledgeable and we have sought his advice on ways to maintain our carpet but also what might be a good replacement carpet when the time comes.

I have recommended them and will continue to sing their praises. Bless you Ivy and Ernie!!!

Joy K. - Lady Lake Fl

Do you want quality work? Do you want better than excellent communication? This husband and wife team and their small crew did a fabulous job.

We had a recliner cleaned a rug cleaned and a sofa cleaned. Their prices are reasonable!

Jill K. - The Villages Fl

Undeniably, Irrefutably, Outstanding. Vans Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning was recommended to us through a contact in The Villages.

And, oh how GLAD we are that they were! Ivy and the team were notably great in their communications, which is an enormous benefit to us.

I am so very happy to have had Vans as a service provider, and their physical cleaning results were excellent!

Mike R. - The Villages Fl

Ernie with Van's Carpet cleaned all our carpets 3/10/21. I highly recommend Van's! Ernie was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough,

and very neat! Van's was recommended by the company that installed our carpets and also by Carol at Foxy Rugs who recommends

Van's for my wool/silk area rugs. The carpet dried in the 6-8 hours just like Ernie said it would.

We will definitely call on them for our yearly clean!

Cherry M. - The Villages Fl

We had Van's clean our carpet this week and are extremely pleased.

We have used others and they always took forever to dry.

Vans took less time to dry and look great.

Jim M. - Wildwood Fl

Van's is customer service oriented from start to finish. Ivy is excellent at scheduling and confirming appointments, and more importantly,

with a follow up call after completion of the job. Ernie always arrives promptly and does a thorough cleaning He was able to remove

some heavy coffee stains from a cream colored recliner this visit. On a prior appointment, he did a great job cleaning 2 light colored sofas

that had had a few years soil on the arm rests. He also took two large area rugs to be cleaned off site. Ernie also gives tips on how to maintain

your fabrics. Van's is a well run, reliable company, that offers great, honest and friendly service.

It has been a pleasure doing business with Ivy and Ernie.

Janet M. - The Villages Fl

We have multiple authentic Persian rugs that we have owned for more than 20 years, they were in DIRE need of cleaning. Vans came in,

looked at the rug (we did 1 at a time as they were large), gave me an estimate on site and then took the rug with them. 2 weeks later,

my rug was returned in BEAUTIFUL condition and placed back in the house. I can't say enough about their knowledge, professionalism and friendliness.

They have renewed my very expensive rug to pristine condition!
