Hand-Carved Wool Rug Cleaning in Inland Valley, CA

This beautiful hand-carved Chinese wool rug arrived at our facility from a home in Inland Valley, CA, bearing the clear signs of years of heavy foot traffic. The once-prominent carved textures were dulled by embedded soil and grime, and the colors appeared muted and uneven across the surface.

Our team began by thoroughly dusting the rug using specialized equipment to dislodge deep-seated debris trapped within the wool fibers, a crucial first step in restoring the rug’s clarity and softness.

After dusting, the rug underwent a careful hand-washing process using fiber-safe, pH-balanced soaps suited for delicate carved wool. Each carved channel and contour was gently scrubbed to remove soil buildup without damaging the dimensional texture of the design. The wash process also included multiple rinses to ensure no residues remained, helping the wool regain its natural lanolin-rich sheen. Finally, the rug was laid flat to dry in a controlled environment, where temperature and airflow were carefully monitored to prevent shrinkage, warping, or dye migration.

By the end of the restoration, the rug’s carved detailing was once again visible and crisp, and its original hues were vivid and clean. This rug now stands refreshed and ready to welcome many more years of use in its Inland Valley home.
