Area Rug Cleaning & Climate-Controlled Storage

Deep cleaning, controlled drying, and secure storage designed to protect fine rugs and heirlooms.

With over 150 years of combined technician experience and more than 50 years serving Penobscot and Hancock Counties, Penobscot Cleaning Services, Inc. specializes in professional area rug cleaning and protection. From oriental and Persian rugs to modern wool runners and delicate heirlooms, every rug is inspected, dye-tested, and cleaned according to its fiber, age, and condition. For fragile or high-value rugs, we offer in-plant hand-wash and immersion cleaning at our Trenton facility (211 Bar Harbor Rd, Trenton, ME 04605). For seasonal homes and vacation rentals on Mount Desert Island, we also provide climate-controlled storage with mothproofing—keeping rugs safe, clean, and ready for reinstallation.

When to Clean

Most area rugs benefit from professional cleaning every 12–36 months, depending on foot traffic, pets, and exposure to Maine’s sand and winter salt. Fine, antique, or heirloom rugs should be cleaned less frequently but with specialized care to prevent fiber damage and dye loss. Rugs removed for seasonal properties or renovations are ideal candidates for professional cleaning before climate-controlled storage to prevent odors, insect damage, and fiber deterioration.
