Our Comprehensive Rug Cleaning Process
Our certified rug cleaners use safe, proven methods and techniques for cleaning all types of rugs to provide the highest quality results while simultaneously taking delicate care of your textile fibers.
Step 1: Pre-Treat Your Lace wig
First we determine what type of fiber your rug is made of, the construction (hand knotted, machine woven, etc.) and the stability of dyes. Our experts pre-treat to loosen embedded soiling materials, presoak fibers for extractions and help prevent colors from running. Experienced spot removal for stubborn stains such as wine, coffee, pet accidents, and high-traffic wear patterns.
Step 2: Gentle Immersion Washing
We carefully submerge your rug in our climate controlled, odor rug spa. Our tender agitation emulates classic hand washing methods combined with our unique cleaning machinery which delivers complete fiber immersion. This soaking process dislodges deep dirt, allergens, and odor-causing bacteria that the surface-level cleaning can’t reach — and it’s not harmful for even the gentlest wool antique rugs.
Step 3: Complete Extraction and Rapid Drying
Our heavy removal equipment takes out 95% of the moisture in your rug, shortening drying to half a day time and eliminates health risk like mildew. Then we lay your rug in our climate-controlled drying room with custom designed air flow systems for even and fast drying. This controlled drying environment helps protect against color bleeding, shrinkage and fiber damage common when machine drying – even on low.
Step 4: Fiber Protection (Optional - Not Required)
Protect your investment with our state of the art fiber protection treatments. We can apply Scotchgard stain protection, moth repellent for wool rugs, or use UV protectants to prevent color fading and extend the life of your rug! These optional treatments can help keep your rug looking great between professional cleanings and safeguard it from everyday spills and mishaps.

Creating Healthier Living Spaces
Professional rug cleaning It’s not just about appearance — it’s also to help keep your home environment clean and healthy. Carpets trust a cover store of dust, bug catching projects, pet dander and tiny organisms that are vacuumed away. All these pollutants are removed in our thorough cleaning process which will enhance the air quality inside and make your home more comfortable and safer for you all.
Regular cleanings can also help reduce wear and extending the life of your investment. Soil is an abrasive and will wear out the rug if left in the rug. Our professional cleaning eliminates these harmful elements, and assists in protecting the structural integrity, maintaining its bright colors and soft feel for years.

I am amazed of how my grandmother's Persian rug look! I honestly thought the stains were part of my life, we'll I was wrong!! Carpet IQ is pure magic. The colors are bright once more, and it’s all smelling so clean. The pickup-and-deliver service was just the best — they were really on top of all that. I already shared with three friends. Best rug cleaning California is the best!
~ Robert T., Satisfied Customer
Our wool area rug was showing years of use. The professional cleaning has returned it to life! The technicians were std3-kl knowledgeable, and explained the process and showed me before-and-after pictures. They even fixed a small tear I wasn’t aware of. The rug is as good as new and I value their detail oriented work. Worth every penny!"

We have multiple oriental rugs through our home - and finding a reliable cleaner was difficult. Carpet IQ exceeded our expectations! Ho EVERY rug came back, every one spotless clean and smelled good. Their green cleaning techniques made us feel comfortable as we have small children and pets. The whole experience was professional and we will definitely use them again. ( Highly recommend for anyone with expensive rugs!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deep clean take?
Our full rug washing process generally takes somewhere between 7-14 business days from the date that your rug is picked up to it being returned to you. This duration of time ensures thorough inspection, pre-distression and deep cleaning, complete drying, and quality control check.
Is it okay for pets and kids if I have my rug cleaned professionally?
Yes! We use non toxic, green cleaning solutions that are 100% child and pet safe. Our pH balanced products are of harsh chemicals, alcohol, VOCs and synthetic fragrances. Water immersion washing rinses cleansers away completely so you are left with only clean fresh fiber.
Do you clean all rug stains?
Although we are able to remove most stains, no guarantee can be made as to the removal of all spots/stains; there are contributing factors such as type of spot/stain, how long it has been on carpet/upholstery, and treatments used prior to our service.
How often should a rug be professionally cleaned?
We recommend professional cleaning every 12-24 months for normal-use residential rugs. High-traffic rugs, such as those found in homes with pets or children, and valuable antique pieces should be cleaned annually. For industrial rugs a cleaning every 6 to 12 months may be necessary according to foot traffic.
How does steam cleaning differ from immersion washing?
Immersion washing (our specialty), in which your rug is fully immersed in a controlled water bath: the industry gold standard for thorough rug cleaning. This process cleans your rug from the inside out and is safe for all type of rugs. Steam cleaning employs hot water extraction on the surface of a carpet and is ideal for wall-to-wall carpeting.
