Protect Your Rugs from Jacksonville’s Climate with Expert Cleaning

Jacksonville is a beautiful city to call home—but our warm, humid climate isn’t always friendly to your area rugs. Between summer thunderstorms, salty air, and everyday wear, your rugs face unique challenges.

At Mussallem Area Rug Specialists, we’ve spent over 125 years helping Jacksonville families protect their rugs from Florida’s climate.


How Jacksonville’s Climate Damages Rugs

  • Humidity & Moisture – Excess humidity can trap moisture in fibers, creating the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.
  • Sun Exposure – Bright Florida sunshine fades natural dyes and weakens rug fibers over time.
  • Dust & Sand – Living near the coast means rugs collect abrasive particles that grind down fibers.

Why Professional Rug Cleaning Works Best

DIY cleaning methods often push dirt deeper into fibers—or leave rugs damp, which leads to mildew. Our hand-washing process:

  • Removes deep-down sand and dust
  • Neutralizes mold and mildew
  • Protects delicate dyes from fading

Tips to Extend Rug Life in Florida

  • Rotate rugs every 6 months to even out sun exposure
  • Use pads underneath to prevent excess wear
  • Schedule professional cleanings every 12–18 months
