Santa Monica Expert Area Rug Cleaning Services
Your fine area rugs are an important part of your home and may even be a family heirloom. Many of our Santa Monica customers feature their rugs as the centerpiece of a room’s decor. They deserve nothing less than the best care and service. Be sure that you never steam clean, bonnet dry clean, or machine wash your fine area rugs.

Santa Monica 8-Step Cleaning Process
For most types of rugs we use our extremely thorough, yet safe, 8-step process.
- Pre-inspection to determine the pile, weave, fiber, condition and test for color fastness. We keep a record of all our findings.
- Dusting to prevent caking and other interference with the cleaning procedure.
- Odor removal.
- Full immersion cleaning, emulating thousand-year old traditional methods combined with the latest mild cleansers.
- Rinsing under continuously flowing purified water for an absolutely thorough finish. There’s nothing left behind that could cause fading, discoloration, premature soiling, or unnecessary wear.
- Grooming via careful brushing for the best nap and texture.
- Controlled drying, horizontal first to avoid bleeding. Then vertical, in a ventilated humidity-controlled room. To assure proper drying, each rug is monitored for moisture content.
- Post-inspection and a second dusting. We’ll repeat any other steps as needed for an absolutely clean rug.
