Trusted Care for Your Valuable Rugs

Custom Cut Rug Underlay / Rug Pad

Did you know that a good quality rug underlay (often referred to as rug pad), is one of the best pieces of long-term care you can give your rug? A properly fitted non-slip rug pad protects your rug from wear and helps it last far longer, ensuring your family heirlooms are still around to be handed down for generations to come.

Our non-slip rug underlay provides a soft, cushioned feel underfoot, keep your rug securely in place, help prevent slipping, and protect the flooring underneath. Each pad is designed to last the lifetime of the rug — though if you have pets that have soiled your rugs in the past, we'd recommend replacing the pad a little more frequently.

At Absolutely Fabulous Rug Cleaning, we offer several styles of custom-cut rug underlay, each designed to suit your specific needs. Let us help you choose the right one for every rug in your home

I was really worried that I would have to throw away my turkish carpet. I had saved up for a year to buy it, and had owned it for 30 odd years. My very elderly cat had decided to use it as a toilet. I didn’t think they could get the stains and smell out. But Darren and the team at Absolutely Fabulous worked a miracle. My rug is clean and no fading of colour. There is no smell. Amazing. Also they couldn’t have been more courteous and helpful throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this company if you have a lovely carpet which needs cleaning.

Response from the owner:It was lovely to see you again yesterday Amy. We were delighted that we were able to save your beautiful hand knotted Turkish wool rug. And we are pleased to read that you are happy with the results of our specialist rug cleaning, sanitising and deodorising. We really appreciate your five star rug cleaning review.

This company is a GREAT find. I have a pale off white berber rug that became my neighbours dog's favourite loo; horribly stained and past help. I honestly thought it was finished until I found these guys who are nothing short of brilliant!! Caring helpful and a delight, the only trouble is I now want every rug in the house to have the same treatment!

Response from the owner:Thank you Mary, can you give your neighbours dog a big hug from me, he gave us a few challenges, but he’s very good for business.

Thank you so much to Absolutly Fabulous for cleaning my wool rug and taking such great care. From pick up to drop off, this has been not only a great service but an EASY one! And everyone could use a bit more easy in live. In the end, the rug smells really lovely, it’s perfectly clean and we feel great living comfortably. The team picked up the rug from our home and dropped off, they left us some very helpful cleaning solution tailored to our needs and the entire experience was quick, simple, no muss, no fuss! Many thanks again to the team. We’re infinitely pleased.

Response from the owner:It was lovely to meet you Ashley. Thank you for your magical rug cleaning review. We look forward to being of service to you again in the future.

I'm glad that I found Ab Fab , a local business. We were able to assess the job, agree a time frame and settle a price. Their service was spot on, my rugs we collected and returned looking like new, all as agreed. The price was very reasonable considering all the work and delivery involved. I would definitely recommend and use Ab Fab again.
