Intricate hand-knotted weaves and natural vegetable dyes require specialized, gentle washing techniques. Under The Rug Floor Care provides dedicated Persian rug cleaning in San Diego CA residents rely on for valuable heirloom textiles. Our specialists test dye stability, dry-dust foundation yarns, and execute controlled wash routines to remove embedded soil without fiber distortion, shrinkage, or color bleeding.




High-temperature steam wands and aggressive surface agitators break delicate hand-spun wool strands and run natural vegetable dyes. Specialized Persian rug cleaning uses harmonic dry dusting to vibrate out trapped grit, followed by pH-balanced submersion or hand washing. This clears foundation soil while preserving wool lanolin, fringe strands, and intricate knotting.
Delicate hand-tied knots and natural dyes react strongly to moisture, soil friction, and improper chemical exposure.
We evaluate every rug for origin, fiber composition (wool, silk, or cotton warp), knot density, and dye stability. Rugs undergo dry harmonic dusting to dislodge foundation sand. We then apply color-stabilizing agents, hand wash or submerge the rug using wool-safe formulas, rinse with clean water, and dry the textile flat in a climate-controlled room.
Off-site Persian rug washing and controlled flat drying take 5 to 7 business days to ensure complete moisture removal and fiber safety.
Automated wash plants and standard carpet cleaners treat delicate hand-knotted textiles like synthetic floor coverings, risking fiber shrinkage and color bleeding. At Under The Rug Floor Care, our certified owners personally handle your service.

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![]()

Yes. We perform dye migration testing on every color band before applying moisture. We apply specialized color-stabilizing agents to lock vegetable and acid dyes in place prior to washing.
In-home steam cleaning uses high heat and water pressure that can cause vegetable dyes to bleed, wool warps to shrink, and hardwood floors underneath to sustain water damage.
We submerge the rug in a bio-enzymatic bath that digests urine salts trapped inside the foundation knots. This neutralizes organic odors at the core without damaging delicate wool fibers.
Persian rugs in moderate traffic areas should be professionally washed every 18 to 24 months. Regular dusting and professional washing prevent ground-in sand from cutting foundation yarns.
Preserve your hand-knotted textiles, restore vibrant natural colors, and protect core foundation yarns. Contact Under The Rug Floor Care today.
