It is recommended to have Oriental rugs professionally hand-cleaned every 2 to 3 years, depending on factors such as the type of rug and the level of foot traffic it experiences. This not only preserves the rug’s value but also contributes to a healthier living environment, as Oriental rugs tend to absorb pollutants and allergens from their surroundings.

With over 86 years of experience, our family has been specializing in the meticulous hand-cleaning of Oriental rugs, addressing issues like odors, dust, and various stains—including those from pet urine, food, oil, ink, and wine. We have earned the trust of satisfied customers throughout Southern California, Riverside County. Our pricing is fair, and we provide complimentary pickup and delivery services for added convenience. Our team takes care of logistics, such as moving furniture, unhooking suspended rugs, and lifting heavy Chinese wool rugs (up to 400 lbs), ensuring a hassle-free experience for you. Once the cleaning process is complete, we return your area rug to its original position.

Rest assured that your Oriental rug will be treated with care, as we avoid using abrasive scrubbing machines, corrosive chemicals, or basic automated systems. Our approach involves a thorough assessment of your rug’s fibers and dyes, considering factors such as age, condition, and usage. We employ a combination of our family’s proven hand-washing methods for Oriental rugs, along with effective dust removal, submerging, disinfecting, and sanitizing techniques. Rinsing is done repeatedly until clear, almost drinkable water is achieved—a time-consuming yet industry-recognized method for the safest Oriental rug cleaning. This process applies to a wide range of rugs, including Afghanistan, Persian, Belgium, Bokhara, Chinese, Couristan, Flokati, Indian, Karastan, Kilim Moroccan, Navajo, Pakistani, Sisal, Stark, Turkish, Tribal rugs, and more. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 100% satisfaction guarantee for all area rug cleaning jobs.

Oriental Rug Cleaning Process

  1. Complimentary Inspection & Estimate: We offer free estimates over the phone or at your home or business in Orange County. We’ll assess your Oriental rug for stains and damage, and provide you with a fair and accurate estimate. Upon your written approval, your rug will be tagged for safe-keeping and brought to our warehouse for proper cleaning.
  2. Pre-Cleaning: Also known as “dry particulate soil evacuation,” our pre-cleaning process uses compressed air to safely remove any loose dirt, grit, or sand.
  3. Decontamination Bath: We use a special decontamination treatment to protect the natural fibers in your Oriental rug. Decontamination baths are necessary to neutralize odors and contamination caused by urine, insect infestations, mold, mildew, and smoke.
  4. Hand Washing: For a thorough cleaning, we submerge your Oriental rug in a “Jacuzzi” bath, aided by compressed air for a gentle agitation, and hand-wash it according to our family’s long-established method.
  5. Rinsing: We completely rinse away all soils and cleaning agents until the rinse water achieves a clean and clear state.
  6. Drying: Using a controlled atmosphere drying room, we will safely and thoroughly dry your Oriental rug.
  7. Final Detailing: Your Oriental rug will undergo a final inspection and receive final spotting treatments to remove any foreign matter. This is always done with consideration for the integrity of your rug’s fibers and dyes.
  8. Repairs and Restoration (for an additional fee): At Oriental Rug Specialists, we also offer the industry’s finest Oriental rug repair and restoration services.
