Our Rug Cleaning Process
Our professional rug cleaning process in
Redlands is designed for delicate
Persian, wool, silk, Oriental, and hand-knotted rugs.
Our process is careful and predictable, so you can feel
comfortable trusting us with your rug.
If we see anything concerning—such as dye instability,
a weak foundation, pet contamination, or previous damage—we
pause and contact you before moving forward.
Gentle. Thorough. Clear.
We tailor the cleaning process to your rug’s fiber type, dyes, age, construction, and condition. You will always know what we recommend and why.
We test dyes where needed and adjust the cleaning method to reduce the risk of dye bleed, migration, and fading.
We avoid harsh shortcuts that can loosen fibers, stress the foundation, or contribute to rippling and shrinkage.
Deep soil removal, appropriate odor treatment, thorough rinsing, and controlled drying are all part of achieving a clean, dry finish.
Step-by-Step Cleaning
From pickup or drop-off through final delivery, each stage is handled carefully and methodically.
If we notice a concern—such as dye instability, a weak foundation, heavy pet contamination, previous damage, or a repair need—we stop and contact you. You will know what we recommend and why before we proceed with anything that could affect your rug.

Cleaning Process FAQ
Answers to common questions about professional rug cleaning.
Is this safe for wool and handmade rugs?
Yes. The correct cleaning method depends on fiber type, dye stability, construction, age, and condition. Inspection and dye testing where appropriate help us choose the safest process for each rug.
Can you remove pet urine odor?
Often, yes. Results depend on how deeply the contamination has penetrated the rug and how long it has been present. We evaluate the rug and recommend an appropriate treatment before proceeding.
Will stains come out 100%?
Some stains can be removed completely, some improve substantially, and others may be permanent. We set realistic expectations and prioritize the safest result for the rug.
How long does rug cleaning take?
Most rugs are ready in approximately 7–10 working days, depending on rug type, condition, drying requirements, specialty treatments, and any repair work requested.
