Welcome to Ruggie’s Resources — your guide to the professional cleaning services we offer at ATC Rug Washing. From protectant treatments to furniture, tile, and outdoor cushion cleaning, our expert team helps keep your home clean, fresh, and protected. With over 40 years of trusted service, Ruggie is here to walk you through everything we do to keep Long Island homes looking their best.
CUSTOM CARPET & RUG PADDING
The foundation your rug deserves.
Most people don’t think twice about what’s underneath their rug — but the right rug padding is one of the most important investments you can make in protecting both your rug and your flooring.
At ATC, we offer custom-cut rug padding solutions designed to prevent slipping, extend the life of your rug, and add comfort underfoot. But not all rug pads are created equal — which is why we carry premium options, including our Pet Proof Padding, made specifically for families with pets or small children.
Whether your rug is placed over hardwood, tile, laminate, or even wall-to-wall carpeting, our team will recommend and trim the right pad for your exact needs. The benefits go far beyond just grip:
What Rug Padding Does for You
Prevents slipping & sliding — Safer for pets, kids, and high-traffic areas
Reduces wear & tear — Minimizes friction between your rug and the floor
Improves vacuum performance — Lifts the rug just enough for better cleaning
Adds comfort — Extra cushioning makes your rug softer underfoot
Protects your floors — Prevents dye transfer, scratches, and moisture buildup
Pet Proof Padding Option
Accidents happen — but our Pet Proof Padding helps prevent liquids from seeping through to your floors. It’s made with a moisture-resistant barrier, making it easier to manage pet messes, spills, and everyday life without permanent damage.
PROTECTANT
Protect what you can’t replace.
Your rugs, carpets, and upholstered furniture go through a lot — from daily foot traffic and pet accidents to the occasional spill that just won’t come out. That’s why ATC offers a powerful fiber protectant treatment that creates an invisible shield over your textiles, helping you guard against life’s messes before they become permanent.
Applied after cleaning, our protectant bonds to each fiber, repelling dirt, oil, and liquids without changing the texture, color, or feel of your rug or fabric.
Why Add a Protectant Treatment?
-
Stain resistance — Spills bead up on the surface, giving you more time to act
-
Easier clean-ups — Makes spot removal quicker and more effective
-
Extended lifespan — Helps prevent deep fiber damage from everyday wear
-
Improved vacuuming — Stops dirt from embedding, so vacuums remove more debris
-
Invisible finish — No discoloration or stiffness — just clean protection
Safe for Families & Pets
For those looking for healthier solutions, we proudly offer a PFAS-free (forever chemical-free) protectant option. It delivers strong performance without exposing your home to harsh or long-lasting chemicals.
Whether you’re protecting a high-end Oriental rug, a living room sectional, or wall-to-wall carpeting, our team will recommend the right protectant for your fabric type and lifestyle.
FURNITURE CLEANING
Bring your furniture back to life.
Your upholstered furniture does more than complete your space — it supports your daily life. But over time, sofas, chairs, and sectionals collect dust, body oils, allergens, and spills that can leave them looking tired and feeling grimy. That’s where ATC’s Furniture Cleaning Service comes in.
We specialize in deep cleaning all types of upholstery — from delicate natural fibers to durable synthetic blends — using safe, fabric-appropriate methods that restore freshness without risk of damage.
Whether you’re dealing with stains, lingering odors, or just general buildup, we’ll revitalize your furniture with a process designed for results you can see, feel, and smell.
What We Remove:
Dirt & grime trapped deep in fibers
Food & drink stains
Pet hair, dander & odors
Dust mites & allergens
Everyday wear and oil buildup
Our Process
Pre-inspection to identify fabric type and test for colorfastness
Pre-treatment of problem areas and stains
Deep extraction cleaning using safe, pH-balanced products
Optional protectant to repel future spills and extend results
Fast dry times to get you back on your couch quickly
Safe for Homes with Kids & Pets
We only use family-safe cleaning solutions — no harsh chemicals, sticky residues, or overpowering scents. Your furniture will be clean, soft, and ready to enjoy again.
TILE & GROUT CLEANING
A deep clean your mop can’t match.
Over time, tile and grout lines collect layers of grime, grease, soap scum, and bacteria — much of which regular mopping can’t fully remove. That’s why ATC offers professional Tile & Grout Cleaning services designed to restore the beauty of your hard surfaces and make your floors truly shine again.
Using high-powered extraction equipment, heat, and specialized cleaning agents, we target built-up dirt below the surface that typical household products can’t reach. Whether it’s in your kitchen, bathroom, entryway, or commercial space — we leave your tile looking brighter, your grout lines clearer, and your entire space fresher.
Our Cleaning Targets:
Embedded dirt and grime
Bacteria and allergens
Mold and mildew in grout lines
Soap scum and residue buildup
Discoloration and dullness
Our 4-Step Process
Pre-treatment to loosen grime and prepare grout for deep cleaning
Agitation with grout-safe brushes or pads
Hot water extraction to lift and remove embedded debris
Spot detailing for problem areas
Great for:
Bathroom tile and showers
Kitchen backsplashes and floors
Hallways and high-traffic entryways
Laundry rooms
Commercial tile surfaces
OUTDOOR CUSHIONS
Let your patio furniture shine again.
Outdoor cushions are exposed to everything — sun, rain, pollen, mildew, food spills, and even bird droppings. Over time, they absorb dirt and moisture, leading to unsightly stains, musty odors, and a general loss of comfort. ATC’s Outdoor Cushion Cleaning Service is designed to restore your outdoor furniture to its freshest, cleanest form — without you lifting a finger.
Unlike standard surface cleaning, we transport your cushions to our dedicated cleaning facility in Farmingdale. This allows us to perform a deep, controlled clean using commercial-grade equipment, advanced solutions, and professional drying methods. The result? Cushions that look, feel, and smell like new.
What We Remove:
Mold and mildew stains
Tree sap and pollen buildup
Food and drink spills
Dirt, dust, and pet hair
Odors caused by moisture and bacteria
Why Our Process Works Better
In-facility treatment ensures a deeper clean than on-site methods
Thorough drying eliminates the risk of mildew returning
Fabric-safe products protect delicate outdoor materials
No mess at your home — we handle everything off-site for you
Ideal for:
Patio furniture cushions
Lounge chairs and chaises
Outdoor sectionals
Cushions stored over winter or exposed year-round
