What we clean

Manufactured rugs are our specialty.

Most rugs in San Diego homes are power-loomed from synthetic fiber, and they clean up beautifully with hot water extraction. We clean them in place, so there is no drop-off, no pickup fee and no waiting weeks for a rug to come back.

Machine-made & manufactured rugs

Power-loomed rugs from furniture and home stores — the kind most San Diego homes have under a dining table, sofa or bed.

Synthetic fibers

Nylon, polyester, polypropylene (olefin), triexta and synthetic blends all respond well to hot water extraction.

Indoor-outdoor & patio rugs

Covered patio and indoor-outdoor rugs that collect dust, pollen and sunscreen through a San Diego summer.

Pet-area & high-traffic rugs

Entry runners, hallway rugs and the rug the dog claimed — spot treatment and odor work included where it is needed.

Please read first

Rugs we do not take on.

We would rather turn a rug down than risk damaging something irreplaceable. We do not clean oriental, Persian or other hand-knotted rugs, antique or heirloom rugs, silk, viscose or other delicate natural fibers, or imported specialty rugs. Those need a specialist wash plant with immersion washing and controlled drying — not an in-home extraction.

Not sure what you have? Send a photo of the rug and its backing with your quote request and we will tell you honestly whether it is one for us or one for a rug specialist.

How it works

Five steps, done in your home.

  1. 1

    Inspect the rug

    We check the backing, fiber and any dye or wear issues before anything gets wet, and tell you straight if we are not the right fit for that rug.

  2. 2

    Dry soil removal

    Loose grit and pet hair come out first — most of what dulls a rug is dry soil ground into the base of the pile.

  3. 3

    Pre-treat spots

    Traffic lanes, spills and pet spots get a targeted pre-spray and dwell time instead of a single heavy pass.

  4. 4

    Hot water extraction

    Truck-mounted steam cleaning rinses the fibers and pulls the soil and solution back out so nothing sticky is left behind.

  5. 5

    Groom & speed dry

    We groom the pile back into place and set air movers so the rug and the floor underneath dry properly.
