Navajo Rug Cleaning in Southern California & the Inland Valley

Among the most delicate projects we’ve handled recently was a handwoven Navajo rug from a home in Southern California’s Inland Valley. Navajo rugs, with their flat weave construction and natural dyes, are both valuable works of art and functional textiles. Over time, this rug had collected dust, soil, and surface dullness that masked its rich cultural patterns. To preserve its heritage and restore its beauty, the homeowner sought expert Navajo rug cleaning in SoCal.

Our process began with a careful inspection of the rug’s weave and dyes to ensure colorfastness. The rug was then dry dusted using specialized equipment to remove fine soil and grit without stressing the fibers. Next, it underwent a gentle hand washing with solutions formulated specifically for flatweave rugs, ensuring the wool remained strong and the natural vegetable dyes remained vibrant. After thorough rinsing, the rug was laid flat to dry in our climate-controlled facility to maintain its shape and prevent warping.

The Result

Once complete, the Navajo rug’s bold geometric patterns and earthy tones were vivid and crisp once again. The weave felt lighter, cleaner, and ready to be appreciated as both a decorative and cultural centerpiece. This successful Navajo rug cleaning in Southern California and the Inland Valley demonstrates our expertise in handling specialty and indigenous weavings with the care they deserve.
