Our 9-step rug cleaning process

01Complimentary inspection & estimateWe offer free estimates over the phone or at your home or business in Orange County. We assess your rug for stains and damage and give you a fair, accurate estimate. With your written approval, your rug is tagged for safekeeping and brought to our facility for proper cleaning.
02Pre-cleaningAlso known as dry particulate soil removal, our pre-cleaning uses compressed air to safely remove loose dirt, grit, and sand.
03Decontamination bathA special decontamination treatment protects your rug’s natural fibers and neutralizes odors and contamination from urine, insects, mold, mildew, and smoke.
04Hand washingYour rug is submerged in a “Jacuzzi” bath with compressed air for gentle agitation, then hand washed using our family’s long-established method.
05RinsingWe rinse away all soil and cleaning agents until the rinse water runs clean and clear.
06DryingDepending on the rug, it is dried in fresh air and sunshine or in our controlled-atmosphere drying room, safely and thoroughly, with care for its fibers, dyes, and shape.

AFTER THE WASH

Gently removing the water

Once a rug is washed and rinsed, it goes through our rug wringer to press out the water evenly without twisting or stretching the foundation. That helps it dry faster and keeps its shape.

By rug type

Cleaning suited to your rug

Rug cleaning · Wool

Wool Rug Washing

Ask about your wool rug

Cleaning suited to the rug

Foot traffic, spills, and embedded dust can leave a well-loved wool rug ready for a thorough cleaning. We first assess the rug’s condition and construction, whether it is handwoven or machine-tufted, and choose a suitable method for its fibers and dyes.

Depending on the rug, cleaning may include removing loose grit, washing to address deeper soil, careful hand work on affected areas, thorough rinsing, and controlled drying. We select cleaning products and techniques for the particular rug rather than treating every wool piece the same way.

Have a sheep’s wool or camel-hair rug with a stain or odor? Tell us what happened and we can discuss an appropriate evaluation and estimate. Results depend on the rug and the nature of the damage.

Rug cleaning · Silk

Silk Rug Cleaning

Discuss your silk rug

Care for delicate textiles

Silk’s fine fibers and intricate designs call for special attention. Whether your piece is an area rug or a wall tapestry, we begin by understanding its condition before recommending how to care for it.

A silk rug may be vulnerable to color movement, changes in texture, and damage from unsuitable cleaning methods. We inspect the fibers, dyes, construction, and any stains or wear before deciding which treatment may be appropriate. Some stains cannot be removed safely, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Rug cleaning · Antique

Antique Rug Cleaning

Discuss your antique rug

A plan based on condition

An older handwoven rug can carry generations of history. Age, prior repairs, fragile areas, and dye behavior all matter when deciding how to clean it. Some pieces may be suitable for washing; others need a more limited approach. We pay close attention to drying, since fragile fibers and unstable dyes can be affected by the wrong process.

If we find rips, missing areas, unraveling edges, or discoloration, we can discuss repair or restoration separately and provide an estimate before proceeding.
