Riverina Rug Wash

16/10/2026

🐾 Happy “No More Poos & Wees” Friday! 💩😂

Yesterday’s little stinkers are today’s dry-room beauties! Our pigeon pair of rugs have had their overnight soak and wash, and there’s another little friend drying alongside them—a lovely white Mellow Mat. 🤍

You’ve really got to trust your cleaning when you’re getting THIS close to a rug with that kind of criminal history. 👃🤣

Our wool rug is also coming along beautifully, with those yellow stains improving. No promises every stain will play nicely, but we’re pretty happy with this one! 🙌

And a shout-out to our Riverina Kid friends! We deep-washed their rugs a couple of months ago, and this time we took the Z Best Carpet Care van to them for an onsite maintenance surface clean. Love seeing their commitment to keeping the centre fresh for their little people! 💜

Have a great weekend, everyone—and may your pets keep their business outside! 🤞😂

🐶💩 Happy “We Wash Wees & Poos” Thursday! 🙀🤣

Coming in at number TWO on our hot wash hit list, right behind our famous Riverina red dirt… WEES & POOS! 💩😂

We all love our fur babies, but unfortunately our rugs and carpets don’t always love them quite as much! 🐾

That’s where Matt and I come in, chasing out the nasties through the puppy and kitten years, the golden oldie years… and hopefully you get a good break somewhere in between! 🤞🤣

🐑 A little woolly warning!

Wool rugs and urine are NOT friends! Urine can cause permanent yellow staining and colour damage. While we’re having some great success treating it, sometimes the damage can’t be reversed.

If you’ve got a four-legged wee machine at home, a synthetic rug might be your best friend! 😂

❤️ And remember, NO JUDGING!

After 16 years of cleaning, we’ve seen it all. Even from those perfectly behaved pets whose owners swear “MINE WOULD NEVER!” 👀

Matt’s got a UV light… and we’re not afraid to use it! 🔦🤣

But we’re not here to put your fur babies on trial. We’re here to clean up the evidence! 🕵️‍♂️🐾

Just be thankful your phone doesn’t have SMELL-O-VISION! 🤢😂

Happy Thursday from Matt & Rom! 💜

💜 Happy “This One’s for Rem!” Monday! 💜

Well, it seems I have myself a new little Rug Wash fan! 😂🧼

Meet Rem… the young bloke who previously dobbed his mum in for throwing out a rug! 🤣🤣

Now, you all know my motto is “Check Before You Chuck!” so I reckon Rem and I are already on the same team! 😂

I made him a little promise that when his family’s rug came in for a wash, I’d record a special video just for him.

And Rom always keeps her promises! 💪💜

So Rem, this one’s for YOU, mate! 🎥🫧

I hope you enjoy watching your rug get its very own bath, and thanks for being my little rug-saving mate!

And Mum… sorry, but I think Rem might be keeping a closer eye on what you throw out from now on! 😂🤣

Happy Monday, everyone! 💜

💜 Happy “Check Before You Chuck” Friday! 💜

Just because something was cheap to buy doesn’t mean it deserves a one-way ticket to landfill! 😂🤣

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that some of these little rugs and Mellow Mats can actually cost less to replace than to have professionally deep cleaned.

BUT… where’s the fun in just throwing everything away?! 😂

Matt and I are always up for a good old-fashioned, slightly unhinged MacGyver mission to bring something back to life! 🛠️🤣

Between the two of us, we’ve rescued some things that probably had one foot in the skip bin and the other on its way to the tip! 😂

And sometimes it’s not even about what something originally cost. It’s about what it would take to give it another life.

Of course, not everything can or should be saved, and we’ll always tell you when that’s the case.

But before you spend money replacing something, you might be surprised what a little knowledge, experience and a healthy dose of stubbornness can achieve! 💪💜

You know my favourite saying…

CHECK BEFORE YOU CHUCK! 😉

Happy Friday everyone! 💕

🌸 Happy “A Little AutoCut” Thursday! 🎬🧼

Just having a little play with AutoCut today! 😂

It’s been a short but wild week already here at the Rug Wash, and I’ve got some beautiful little stories behind some very special rugs to share with you all. 💕

But those can wait until next week! 😉

I also think there might be a very special wash coming up for a new little friend I met the other night, who told me all about how Mum threw their old other rug out! 😂😱

So I reckon this one might even need a video… and Reggie the Rug Rescuer might just have to make a special appearance to give a shout-out to our little friend! 🥰🐘😉

For now, enjoy this little AutoCut creation and some good old-fashioned rug washing!

Happy Thursday! 💜

🐶 Happy “Puppy vs Lounge” — Long Weekend Edition! 😂

Well, first we brought in Number 3 Son… and then we brought out the BIG guns — Matt. 😂

Welcome to our first ever giant cushion remediation challenge!

These metre-square feather base cushions had a little run-in with one VERY excited puppy. 🐶💦

And you know us — if there’s a chance to MacGyver a solution and keep something out of landfill, we’re going to give it a crack.

So… apparently the Rug Wash does cushions now too. 😂

These big guys got their very own enzyme spa bath to flush that puppy urine right out of those feathers.

And because washing the footstool and cushions clearly wasn’t enough…

We also finally caught up on ALL the rug washing…

only to dry them to fill the entire dry room with CUSHIONS. 🤦‍♀️😂

But they dried, the van got loaded, and today I headed out delivering.

So lots of clean rugs are back home, a few special ones got washed today as well, and the Rug Wash is officially back into another week.

Hope everyone had a beautiful long weekend! 💕

🥰 Happy “The Apprentice Quoted & Cleaned His First Rug” Friday!

Remember earlier in the week when Number 3 son asked:

“Mum, if I quote a rug and clean it with a little help from you, can I get paid?”

Well… he wasn’t mucking around. 😂

And after that post, a lovely customer — who may or may not also happen to be his cousin 🤣 — reached out and volunteered to be his very first customer.

And I have to say, we are so bloody proud of him. 🥹

At just under 11 years old, he’s now officially quoted his first rug, dealt with his first customer, got stuck into the wash and started learning what actually goes into taking a rug from dirty to clean.

Watching him genuinely want to learn it all — and have a crack at earning his own money while he’s at it — has been pretty special.

So maybe we really do have a little Riverina Rug Wash heir on our hands. 😂

We’re not quite ready to hand over the keys yet… but apparently we’ve started training our replacement. 🤣

And a big thank you to his very first customer for getting behind him and giving him his first real job. 💜

Happy Friday from two very proud parents and their little apprentice — and we hope everyone has a fantastic, happy and safe long weekend! ☀️💜
