Wondering how much it costs to clean your rug? Our pricing starts at just $65 and varies by rug size, material, and soil level.

Whether it’s a small area rug or a large wool runner, we provide transparent rates and professional care every time.
1. In-Home Rug Evaluation
We begin with a free on-site assessment in your San Diego home to evaluate the rug’s fiber type, color stability, condition, and stain level. This step ensures we choose the safest and most effective cleaning approach.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Every rug is different — we build a tailored plan based on material (wool, synthetic, silk, or blended), soiling level, and foot traffic. We use non-toxic, fiber-safe products for a deep yet gentle clean.
3. Honest, Upfront Pricing
Before we start, you’ll receive a detailed quote that includes labor, products, and equipment — no hidden fees or upcharges, whether it’s a small area rug or a large room-sized carpet.
4. Deep Cleaning & Odor Neutralization
Using a combination of steam, hot water extraction, and low-moisture methods, we remove ground-in dirt, spills, pet odors, and bacteria — all while protecting delicate fibers and dyes.
5. Rinse & Speed Dry
After cleaning, we thoroughly rinse out all residues and use high-velocity air movers to accelerate the drying process — preventing odor buildup and ensuring your rug is clean, dry, and ready to use.
From antique Persian pieces to everyday hallway runners, our clients notice a real difference — rugs feel softer, look brighter, and stay fresher longer. We handle every piece with care and precision, using fabric-safe methods to eliminate dirt, odor, and stubborn stains.

My living room rug had years of foot traffic and dog hair stuck deep in the fibers. These guys got it looking brand new! They were quick, careful, and left no mess behind. I’m amazed at the color difference.

We spilled red wine during a dinner party — I thought the rug was ruined. The cleaner arrived next morning, explained every step, and completely removed the stain. You’d never know it happened. Super professional!

Outstanding work! I had two wool rugs cleaned and they both came back brighter, softer, and completely odor-free. I love that they use eco-friendly products. It even smelled fresh — no harsh chemicals.

We had our hallway runners cleaned in San Diego. Technician arrived on time, worked carefully, and explained what products would be used. Rugs dried fast and look much better now. Great service from start to finish!

The pet odors in our silk rug were unbearable. I didn’t think they’d come out without damaging the fabric, but they handled it perfectly. No discoloration, no smell, and the texture is like new. So grateful!

Both options are available. Delicate pieces such as wool, silk, Persian or handwoven rugs are usually taken to our cleaning workshop where drying, color stability, and fiber care are fully controlled. Standard synthetic or machine-made rugs can be treated safely at home.
Wool can shrink or lose shape if oversaturated. We use low-moisture, wool-approved detergents and controlled drying to avoid warping, mildew, or texture damage. DIY soaking or steam machines often damage wool fibers — professional treatment is recommended.
First, we extract urine crystals from deep layers of the rug and backing. Then enzyme-based solutions break down odor-causing bacteria instead of covering the smell. Sprays or deodorants only hide the issue temporarily and don’t solve the problem inside the fibers.
Fresh spills are easier to treat, but older marks can also be improved. We use tannin removers that lift dark pigments while protecting original rug colors. Home remedies like vinegar or dish soap can set the stain permanently.
Bad odors usually come from moisture, pet accidents, mold growth or spills that soaked through the surface. Vacuuming only cleans the top layer. Our deep-cleaning process flushes the inner padding and neutralizes trapped smells completely.
Yes. Fringes are treated by hand to avoid tearing or tangling. We gently wash, whiten and dry them separately. If fringe is damaged or yellowed, we can brighten, repair or replace it.
Absolutely. High-pile rugs need soft brushing, controlled moisture and tools designed specifically for shag textures. Harsh scrubbing or strong vacuums can permanently crush the pile — which is why gentle professional care is best.
We test dyes before cleaning. If there’s a risk of bleeding, we apply dye stabilizers and use cold-water methods. Existing color damage can sometimes be corrected, but full restoration isn’t always possible.
Yes, though carefully. Heat and excess water can cause the rubber to crack or peel. We apply low-moisture cleaning and accelerate drying. If the backing is already deteriorating or sticky, replacement may be the better option.
For most homes — every 12–18 months. With pets, allergies or heavy foot traffic — every 6–9 months. Even when a rug looks clean, it may contain dust mites, bacteria, and trapped dirt underneath.
