    Cunningham's Rug Cleaning

    (16 reviews)

    Contacted Cunningham's regarding cleaning oriental rug . I was warned when I purchased the carpet,…read morethat it must be cleaned by a company who is knowledgeable/experienced in cleaning this type of rug. Cunningham's reinforced to me that they were experienced in cleaning oriental rugs and it would not be a problem. Unfortunately, when they returned the rug, several of the colors had bled onto the background (light beige) of the carpet and the texture of the carpet changed. The Company refused to backup its mistake ! Bottom line ... stay away ! MES

    I don't think I've ever written an internet review before about anything, but I feel as if I have…read moreto warn other consumers about Cunningham's. We sent four rugs to be cleaned by them in November 2017. When they returned a month later, and after a $760 cleaning bill, one of our rugs was totally destroyed. The rug we sent out had some wear and tear and some dirt, which is why we got it cleaned in the first place, but when we got it back, the stains were larger, the backing of the rug had totally dissolved, the material was frayed and further worn, it was puffy (before it had been flat and thin, which is why we bought it to go under our dining room table), and it had shrunk several inches on each side. Please see the attached photos. After several phone calls, someone from Cunningham's came out to take pictures. He was visibly stunned at the condition of the rug. After several weeks, we were told the following: "As we discussed rug cleaning is part science and part luck. With so many manufacturers out there all using different methods of construction it is impossible for any rug cleaner to know what the outcome of a cleaning will be because we do not know everything used in the different constructions." The rug came from Crate & Barrel. It's about as mainstream a rug as one could purchase. Further, the materials used in the construction were plainly printed on the care label. After a few phone calls to other cleaners and a discussion with Crate and Barrel, we were told that it is plainly obvious and common industry knowledge that dry extraction is the appropriate method for cleaning a viscose rug. This was not the method used by Cunningham's. Instead of admitting error, Cunningham's shifted blame to the rug itself: "However, the rug cleaner can not be responsible for what we believe to be inherent flaws in the way certain rugs are manufactured." It was the rug's fault? Or, maybe, it was my fault for hiring them to clean the rug in the first place? "Tufted rugs can be beautiful and are often inexpensive and therefore appeal to the mass market but they are not designed to last very long and in some cases really aren't designed to be cleaned." Apparently, I should have known that the rug wasn't designed to be cleaned and should never have sent it to Cunningham's in the first place? Crate & Barrel had this to say: "The cleaner also stated that their cleaning method is both science and luck. We don't believe luck should be a factor as a professional cleaner should know how to clean this type of rug. The recommended cleaning method is professional dry extraction. ... A professional cleaner should know which method is best, as it is common knowledge and the construction is on the rug's tag. Fibers do not change whether being used on a shirt or carpet and Viscose like Rayon should be dry cleaned." Anyone can make a mistake. All I ask is that mistakes be acknowledged and amends made. They have only offered to reimburse the cost of the cleaning ($240) and nothing else. This is unacceptable when an entire rug must be replaced. Why? "Unfortunately, rug manufacturers are not making it easy on rug cleaners to successfully clean all types of rugs without some inherent risk of physical changes. Due to this unfortunate trend we can not be liable for replacing items altered as a result of cleaning." In short: cleaning rugs is hard! We can't keep up! I regret ever sending our rugs to Cunningham's. I encourage you not to make the same mistake we did.
