Oriental Rug Cleaning Services in North County San Diego

Typically, oriental rugs should be cleaned annually, though more frequent cleaning might be
necessary for heavily trafficked areas or places prone to dirt and pet incidents. To assess if your
rug requires professional cleaning, gently lift the nap and inspect the base of the knots. If you
notice dirt or debris that vacuuming hasn’t eliminated, it likely requires professional attention.

Steam cleaning, a widely used carpet cleaning technique using hot water vapor to deep clean,
may not be suitable for all oriental rugs. These rugs often use traditional vegetable dyes, which
are less colorfast compared to modern dyes. High temperatures from steam cleaning can cause
colors to fade or bleed. To preserve your rug’s appearance, opt for a gentler Oriental rug
cleaning method instead. Talk to your professional for the best option for your rug.

We specialize in cleaning both wool and silk oriental rugs, acknowledging their need for extra
care. To ensure the best procedure for these delicate fabrics, please consult with your
technician for their expert recommendation.

At this time, we do not have a physical storefront for drop-offs. However, we offer a convenient
pick-up service for your oriental rug and ensure its safe return once it’s cleaned and completely
dry.

Moisture retention beneath the oriental rug can potentially harm the underlying wood floor, as
well as cause damage to the delicate fibers of your oriental rug. To avoid this, we offer the
option to relocate the oriental rug for cleaning to alternative spaces within your home such as a
garage, driveway, patio, or tiled surface. If an in-home alternative isn’t available, we also provide
the option to transport the oriental rug to our shop for cleaning.
