In the world of professional bass fishing, the Bassmaster Classic is the Super Bowl. When the 2026 tournament wrapped up in Knoxville, all eyes were on the podium—and the iconic, custom-designed rug that anchored the winners circle.
This isn’t just any floor covering; it’s a massive, vibrant map of the Tennessee River’s finest, featuring everything from the Blue Catfish to the Longnose Gar. Co-branded by Bassmaster and the TVA, this rug is a piece of tournament history. But it came with a catch that would make most cleaners sweat: it cannot get wet.
The Challenge: A “Dry-Only” Champion
Most people think “deep clean” means steam and water. However, for a high-traffic, specialized tournament rug like this, moisture is the enemy. It can cause ink bleeding, fiber distortion, and structural damage to the
custom backing.
Because the rug is a vital asset for Bassmaster and TVA’s branding, there was zero room for error. They needed a team that didn’t just own a vacuum—they needed certified specialists who understood the chemistry of dry-cleaning delicate, oversized textiles.
Why Knoxville Chose Superior Carpet and Rug Cleaning
When the stakes are this high, you don’t call a “splash and dash” service. You call the experts. Superior Carpet and Rug Cleaning was the only choice for the job.
Why? Because excellence is a habit here. We are proud to be:
• Voted Knoxville’s Best Carpet and Rug Cleaning Company (2024 & 2025).

• Masters of Technical Cleaning: We utilize advanced dry-cleaning methods that lift ground-in dirt and tournament “grime” without a single drop of water, ensuring the colors stay as vivid as the day they were printed.
The Results
As you can see in the video, the rug remains a vibrant tribute to the species of the Tennessee River. From the Smallmouth Bass to the Paddlefish, every detail is crisp, clean, and ready for the next trophy presentation.

Superior Carpet & Rug Cleaning
📍 Serving Knoxville and surrounding areas
Winter’s snow and ice seem a distant memory, and we’ll need to wait an entire year for the next dogwood blooms to herald in spring. Remember those precious few weeks when we opened up our windows to allow those mild spring breezes to freshen up our homes? Well, all too quickly the temperatures have risen, our windows are once again closed, and the air conditioners are turned back on.
One challenge many of us experience during those periods of time when our homes are “buttoned up” is that dust and allergens are trapped inside. Your home’s HVAC and ceiling fans redistribute these contaminants throughout the entire house, as is evident by the dust on your furniture. No amount of dusting seems to alleviate the sneezing and coughing experienced by many of our family members resulting from these trapped contaminants.
While there is no way to totally eliminate dust and allergens in your home, there are steps you can take to significantly reduce these airborne contaminants. One sure-fire way is to remove dust and allergens from your home’s carpeting and Oriental rugs. While vacuuming helps, your vacuum only removes a small portion of the accumulated contaminants that are trapped deep in the fibers of your carpets and rugs.
At Superior Carpet & Rug Cleaning, we offer homeowners two proven solutions to dust and allergens. For your home’s wall-to-wall carpeting, we offer a deep cleaning and extraction process that thoroughly cleans your carpets using only specially treated water from our truck-mounted cleaning plant that assures a level of cleanliness that leaves our competition in the dust. For your home’s Oriental rugs, we offer our proprietary 11-step rug washing process at our state-of-the-art facility that achieves a level of cleanliness that is simply not achievable any other way.
Call us today, and discover for yourself a Superior Carpet & Rug Cleaning level of clean – a level of clean that is nothing to sneeze at.
