Every rug tells a story, and sometimes that story includes stains, damage, or years of wear. Browse our gallery of real before-and-after transformations to see the remarkable difference professional cleaning and restoration can make for rugs just like yours.
At S&S Rug Cleaners, we understand that your area rugs are valuable both financially and sentimentally. That is why we apply specialized care, expert cleaning, and precision restoration to every rug that comes through our doors. The images below showcase actual before and after results from rugs we have cleaned, repaired, and restored for customers throughout the Atlanta area.
Each transformation tells a story—from pet accidents and water damage to years of accumulated soil and worn fringes. We photograph rugs before and after every major cleaning or repair project, giving our customers complete transparency and documentation of the work performed. These photos represent just a small sample of the thousands of rugs we've restored over our 30+ years serving Metro Atlanta families.

The before-and-after images in our gallery represent real rugs from Atlanta-area homeowners who faced common challenges: accumulated soil from years of foot traffic, stubborn stains from spills and pet accidents, dye bleeding from improper cleaning attempts, worn fringe and edges from daily use, and persistent odors that surface cleaning couldn't eliminate. Each transformation shows what professional facility-based cleaning and repair can accomplish when rugs are treated by specialists who understand fiber science and traditional weaving techniques.
Heavy soiling appears as overall dullness, darkened traffic lanes, and loss of color vibrancy. You'll see how our dusting, washing, and rinsing process lifts pounds of embedded dirt that vacuuming alone cannot reach, revealing the rug's true colors beneath years of grime. Stain removal results demonstrate our ability to address specific spots—from wine and coffee to pet urine and dye transfers—using targeted treatments that break down contaminants without damaging surrounding fibers or causing color loss.
Our repair examples showcase structural restoration work: reweaving holes and tears, securing loose edges, replacing damaged fringe, and stabilizing worn foundations. These repairs require hand-craftsmanship and an understanding of how rugs are constructed. Rather than patching problems cosmetically, we address underlying damage to restore both appearance and structural integrity. Odor elimination results, while not visible in photographs, represent some of our most dramatic transformations—rugs that arrived with overwhelming pet or mildew smells returning fresh and neutral.
Every image in this gallery represents a rug that a customer considered replacing before discovering what professional restoration could achieve. We believe in transparency and documentation, photographing each rug before and after service so customers can see exactly what their investment accomplishes.

of Expert Care
The dramatic differences you see are the result of a detailed cleaning process and skilled restoration work. At S&S Rug Cleaners, we combine deep cleaning, careful drying, professional repair techniques, and quality finishing to deliver results that extend the life of your rug and preserve its beauty.
This level of transformation is not achieved with simple surface cleaning or home methods but through trained rug technicians and specialized equipment.
Learn About Our Cleaning ProcessNot all rugs respond identically to cleaning and repair. Understanding these differences helps set realistic expectations.
The dramatic transformations shown in our gallery depend heavily on each rug's fiber content, construction method, dye quality, and overall condition at arrival. Wool rugs typically clean exceptionally well because wool fibers naturally release soil and have excellent resilience. Hand-knotted Oriental and Persian rugs often reveal stunning color clarity after cleaning because their high-quality vegetable dyes respond beautifully to proper washing techniques. Silk rugs require specialized handling but can achieve remarkable brightness when cleaned by experienced technicians.
Synthetic rugs—polypropylene, nylon, and polyester—respond differently. While they resist staining, they also resist cleaning solutions, meaning deeply embedded soil can be more challenging to remove. Machine-made rugs may clean evenly but lack the color depth of hand-knotted pieces. Older or antique rugs sometimes have fragile dyes that require gentler methods, which may produce subtler improvements to protect long-term integrity.
During our inspection process, we assess each rug's specific characteristics and provide honest expectations about what cleaning and repair can realistically achieve. Our goal is always maximum improvement with zero risk to your rug's integrity.
If your rug shows signs of soil buildup, stubborn stains, wear damage, or persistent odors, professional cleaning and restoration can make a dramatic difference. The transformations you see in our gallery are achievable for rugs in similar conditions—and the process starts with a simple consultation. We'll discuss your rug's history, examine photos if you have them, and provide an honest assessment of what our services can accomplish.
Our comprehensive inspection evaluates fiber content, construction, dye stability, and existing damage before we recommend a treatment plan. Whether your rug needs routine cleaning, deep stain removal, odor treatment, or structural repair, we develop a customized approach that addresses your specific concerns while protecting your investment. There are no surprises—we explain exactly what we'll do and what results you can expect.
Many customers are surprised to discover that restoration costs far less than replacement, especially for quality rugs that would be expensive or impossible to replicate. A rug you've considered replacing may have decades of life remaining once professionally cleaned and repaired. Reach out to discuss your situation—we're happy to help you determine whether your rug is a candidate for the kind of transformation you see in our gallery.
