EXPERT RUG CLEANING IN SAN DIEGO
Got a stained, dirty or dingy looking rug? Life is not predictable; it will throw things like kids, pets, shoe traffic, food, and drink spills that will make for a dirty rug. To protect it, you should ideally get your rug cleaned right away if you get a stain. Stains aside, it's recommended to get your rugs cleaned at least every 3-5 years, depending on its foot traffic and use. With proper care, your rug will last far longer than you might expect, even decades.

BASIC RUG WASH
This is our basic shampoo and cleaning providing a more cost-effective way to have your rugs cleaned. Rugs are inspected, dusted, soaked and washed, clear rinsed, dried and finished. See the steps below. Basic Rug Wash sanitizes your rug, but may not remove certain kinds of stains.

SILKY RUG WASH
It's our premium cleaning service providing the cleanest and softest result and is recommended for fine, handmade wool and silk rugs, or dirtier or stained rugs. It includes our best shampoo, sanitizers, deodorizers, a longer stain removal process. This process can remove 80-98% of stains and odors.

INSPECTION
At Rug Expo, we employ experienced rug cleaners. Other firms under “Area Rug Cleaners San Diego” would look at one rug just as the same as all others-- and that can lead to disastrous results. Our cleaners first inspect your rug to verify its origin for proper care. They consider factors such as fabric, dyes and colorfastness, construction, knotting and more to determine the correct (and safe) green rug cleaning process. They also look for any bleeds, tears, pet stains, and any type of color damage before they being. Depending on your rug, here are some of the steps we will take to get your rug like new again.

DUSTING
The dirt your rug accumulates gets rooted into your rug, making it harder to clean. A simple at-home vacuum cleaning is not enough, nor is a steam clean or even a “Rug Doctor” rentable machine. Our dusting process and machines loosen all the dust and particles before the actual rug washing. Just take a look at the dust loosened in the adjacent image! Typical carpet and dry cleaners only surface clean rugs, which leaves dirt and crumbs embedded. This not only keeps your rug dirty, but it also damages the rug in the process. With surface cleaning, the dirt and particles create a harder rug base, meaning your rug will stiffen and will not last as long as it should. We make sure every speck of dust is removed, even if it takes multiple tries.

WASHING & RINSING
When our experts start their work, our rug cleaning staff scrubs your rug with the proper kind of soap, providing eco-friendly and green rug wash, and then rinses it gently but thoroughly. We use a 100% rug hand wash method. With our professional rug cleaning, we ensure that your rug gets thorough, deep clean. We rinse your rug in between every scrubbing in order to remove all the dirt and grime. These two steps are repeated AS LONG AS IT TAKES for the rinse water to run clear. The amount of dirty water that first comes from a rug we clean is a testament to just how much dirt rugs can hold and how much we remove!

DRYING & BRUSHING
After gently washing area rugs, we remove the moisture from the rug as quickly as possible. We use a roller, centrifugal spinner or extractor to remove the water from the rug. After drying, our rug cleaners brush the rugs to make sure the rug fibers flow in their natural direction or their nap. After this, we transport the rug to a dry room where it hangs over rollers.

GROOMING
After drying, the rug is groomed and fitted to look as new as the day you got it. We trim the rug so there isn't any hanging materials or distorted threads. This ensures that your rug will be left with a smooth surface with clean edges.

FINISHING
Finally, a finisher machine softens your rug. This gives the rug a nice, clean look that leaves it freshened and renewed.
