Authentic Oriental rugs are stunning investments, but their unique weaves trap everyday dirt, dust, and allergens deep inside. Under The Rug Floor Care offers safe, specialized Oriental rug cleaning in San Diego, CA. We gently wash away abrasive grit and lift stubborn stains without risking color bleed or damaging delicate fringes, ensuring your treasured piece stays beautiful for generations.




Standard carpet steam cleaners use intense heat and high-pressure suction that can ruin fragile fringes and cause traditional vegetable dyes to run. We use a dedicated off-site bath process. This allows us to safely flush out trapped dirt and pet messes using cold water and pH-neutral shampoos designed exclusively for fine, delicate textiles.
Even with regular vacuuming, standard household traffic takes a toll on intricate area rugs.
We identify the specific origins and materials of your Oriental rug before starting. The piece is first dusted to extract dry dirt from the backing. Next, it receives a targeted, color-safe bath followed by a thorough freshwater rinse. Finally, we lay it flat to dry in a controlled environment to prevent any shape distortion.
Professional off-site washing and flat drying typically require 5 to 7 business days to guarantee optimal safety and results.
You shouldn’t trust an expensive Oriental rug to a general surface cleaner. At Under The Rug Floor Care, our owners manage the entire process directly. Customers choose us for Oriental rug cleaning in San Diego, CA because we take the time to test dyes, wash gently by hand, and deliver exceptional results without cutting corners.
Every job is handled directly by our certified, uniformed, and background-checked employees.
Detailed estimates before work begins with zero bait-and-switch tactics or surprise fees.
High-heat, truck-mounted extraction and high-velocity air movers for fast 2–6 hour dry times.
If a treated stain returns within 14 days, our team returns to re-clean the area free of charge.
We treat every home with the same attention and care we give our own. From delicate wool rugs to stubborn high-traffic carpet lanes, we ensure your living spaces stay spotless, safe, and truly fresh.
We check for colorfastness and gently vibrate out all dry, abrasive sand from the backing.
The rug is bathed in tailored, wool-safe shampoo and thoroughly rinsed to remove all soils completely.
We flat-dry the piece in a climate-controlled room, groom the pile, and hand-comb the delicate fringes.

Outstanding service from Under the Rug Floorcare! Their customer service is truly superb—responsive, professional, and so easy to work with. We had a beloved Persian carpet that belonged to my father-in-law, and it had several mysterious stains that we weren’t sure could even be removed. They not only got the stains out, but the carpet looks absolutely beautiful—honestly, like new! The service was fast, and they even delivered the carpet right to my door ahead of the promised time. Rolando was fantastic throughout the entire process. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made everything so easy from pickup to delivery. We are so happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Under the Rug Floorcare to anyone looking to restore and care for a special carpet. Wonderful experience from beginning to end!Posted on Google![]()

Rolando was AWESOME! He worked on my dryer vent until the problem was solved. My previous dryer vent company left an absolute fire hazard that only diligence and work ethic could have corrected. I recommend this company highly. Don't trust expensive companies that have no conscience! Rolando it THE BEST!Posted on Google![]()

Service was great, efficient and professional. Rolando and his team took my wool braided rugs to be cleaned and they came back looking great. I also had him clean my recliner and it came out good as new . The cost was better than I expected. I will definitely use them again and I will refer them to my friends and family.Posted on Google![]()

Not with our process. We test every single color for stability before we start. If a dye is sensitive, we apply a special treatment to lock the colors in place before washing.
Cleaning a rug at home only washes the surface and can ruin your wood floors underneath. Bringing it to our facility allows us to dust the backing thoroughly, wash it completely, and dry it safely.
Yes. Pet accidents soak through to the very bottom of the rug. Our special bath treatments break down those hidden odor-causing salts completely, leaving the rug smelling fresh again.
For a rug in a normal living space, we recommend professional washing every 1 to 2 years. This keeps abrasive dirt from wearing down the fibers prematurely.
