Specialized Care for Your Toughest Challenges
At Mel’s Carpet Cleaning, our expertise goes beyond standard floor and furniture care. We know that some situations require a more specialized approach, whether it’s responding to an unexpected emergency or carefully preserving a valuable heirloom.
Since 1991, homeowners and businesses in Wichita, KS, have trusted us to handle their most demanding cleaning needs. That’s why we offer specialized services for
Water Damage Restoration and
Oriental Rug Cleaning, providing the same straightforward, reliable, and high-quality results you expect from our core services.


Water Damage Restoration
When unexpected leaks, floods, or plumbing issues strike, fast action is essential. Water can quickly seep into carpets, padding, and subfloors, leading to structural damage and mold growth if not addressed immediately.
Our water damage restoration service is designed to mitigate the damage, extract the moisture, and restore your space back to normal as quickly as possible. Because water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, our team is available 24/7 to help you when you need it most.
What’s Included in Water Damage Restoration:
- Rapid Water Extraction: We use powerful, professional-grade equipment to remove standing water from carpets, flooring, and upholstery.
- Drying and Dehumidification: We utilize advanced air movers and dehumidifiers to pull hidden moisture from the air and structural materials.
- Sanitization and Odor Control: Floodwater can bring bacteria and foul odors. We treat the affected areas to safely sanitize your space and prevent musty smells.
- Carpet and Pad Restoration: Whenever possible, we salvage and restore your existing carpets and padding to save you the cost of full replacement.

Oriental & Area Rug Cleaning
Oriental and fine area rugs are beautiful investments that add character to your home, but they require a completely different level of care than standard wall-to-wall carpeting. Standard carpet cleaning methods can ruin delicate fibers or cause intricate dyes to bleed.
Our Oriental rug cleaning service is tailored to the specific material, age, and dye type of your rug. We safely lift embedded dirt, dust, and allergens while protecting the vibrant colors and delicate weaves that make your rug unique.
What’s Included in Oriental Rug Cleaning:
- Detailed Inspection: We carefully examine the rug to determine the fiber type (wool, silk, cotton, etc.) and test for dye stability.
- Gentle Dusting & Pre-Treatment: We safely remove abrasive dry soils and dust before applying gentle, specialized cleaning solutions.
- Custom Washing Process: We clean the rug using techniques specifically chosen to protect delicate fringes and prevent color bleeding.
- Controlled Drying: Your rug is dried in a controlled environment to maintain its shape, prevent shrinkage, and protect the fibers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to water damage?
Because water damage requires immediate attention, we offer 24/7 emergency response. Call us as soon as you notice the problem, and we will dispatch a team as quickly as possible.
Will I have to replace my carpet after water damage?
Not always. If we are called quickly and the water is from a clean source (like a burst pipe), we can often extract the water, dry the area, and fully restore both the carpet and the pad.
Do you clean Oriental rugs on-site or take them away?
This depends on the specific needs, size, and delicacy of the rug. During our initial inspection, we will recommend the safest and most effective cleaning environment for your specific piece.
Are your rug cleaning methods safe for pets and children?
Yes. Just like our standard carpet cleaning, we use specialized solutions for fine rugs that are entirely safe for your household.
