Area Rug Cleaning
Fiber, dye stability, fringe, backing and construction influence how a rug can be cleaned. A wool rug, a viscose rug and a synthetic rug should not automatically receive the same treatment. We evaluate the rug and the floor beneath it, then discuss whether on-site cleaning or a more controlled off-site process is suitable.
Our Area Rug Process
We confirm the exact treatment after assessing your surfaces. Here is how the work comes together.
Assess fiber, construction, dyes, backing, fringe and any existing damage.
Decide whether on-site care or the off-site Rug Spa is appropriate for the rug and its condition.
Address loose and embedded dry soil before the cleaning stage.
Use a rug-appropriate process for soil and spots, with separate discussion of any pet-related concerns.
Control moisture and drying for the material and construction, especially during off-site care.
Review the rug, groom where appropriate and explain placement, care and any optional protection.
A Little More Attention
We offer both options for off-site rug washing. Pickup and delivery is available for an additional fee based on distance. You can also drop off your rug in Orange, CA, by appointment. Please contact us to schedule your drop-off in advance. Off-site rug washing typically takes about one week. Depending on the care your rug needs and the volume of rugs at the facility, turnaround may extend to around two weeks.
We assess the material, condition, urine contamination and available cleaning area before recommending on-site steam cleaning. We do not clean rugs over hardwood floors. Viscose, silk and other sensitive rugs need controlled care at the off-site facility.
Tell us about urine, dye movement, odors, previous treatments and any unusual texture change. A result depends on the full condition of the rug, not just the visible surface.

Share photographs of the whole rug, its label and any problem areas, along with approximate dimensions. Avoid rolling up a wet rug or treating unfamiliar fibers with household mixtures. Ask about moving furniture resting on the rug.
Keep the rug off sensitive flooring until it is fully dry and ready for placement. Follow the recommended vacuum settings, rotate where practical and address spills promptly. Ask for rug-specific advice rather than relying on a generic carpet routine.

Area Rug Cleaning Questions
Have a question about a particular surface or treatment? Our team can help you plan.
Ask OCD HOMEYes. We offer off-site area rug washing at a rug cleaning facility for specialty rugs, delicate materials and rugs contaminated with urine. This includes rugs containing viscose or silk that require specialized care.
No. The rug’s material, condition and any urine contamination determine whether it can be steam cleaned at your property or requires off-site rug washing. We also need a suitable area where the rug can be cleaned safely. If your property does not have that space, off-site cleaning is the only option.
On-site area rug cleaning uses a top-down steam cleaning process and costs $1.75 per square foot. Off-site rug washing starts at $4.50 per square foot for most rugs, with highly sensitive rugs typically ranging from $6 to $8 per square foot. All appointments require a $250 job minimum.
Yes. Wool and viscose require different care. Wool is durable and resilient, but it can stain easily and may need special attention during cleaning. Viscose is highly sensitive to moisture and can develop browning or yellowing if cleaned incorrectly. We require off-site cleaning for viscose rugs so the treatment and drying conditions can be carefully controlled.
Yes. We clean silk, antique and hand-knotted rugs at an off-site rug facility. This controlled environment allows for the careful cleaning and handling these delicate rugs require.
No. We do not clean area rugs while they are sitting on hardwood floors. Moisture can pass through the rug’s backing and damage the wood underneath. It can also cause wood stain to transfer to the rug’s backing and potentially wick up into the surface fibers, discoloring the rug.
Yes. If a pet accident has soaked through the rug’s backing and reached the pad, cleaning the rug alone leaves a source of staining and odor underneath. That contamination can wick back into the rug. The rug will need off-site washing, along with the pad if it is suitable for cleaning. For a highly contaminated pad, replacement is usually more practical than cleaning.
Yes. We clean rug fringe after assessing its material and condition. If the fringe needs additional care, including bleaching when appropriate, the rug will require off-site washing.
Off-site rug washing typically takes about one week. Depending on the care your rug needs and the volume of rugs at the facility, turnaround may extend to around two weeks.
Blot the spill with a clean, bleach-free white cotton towel. Do not add moisture or apply any cleaning products. Check the rug’s label for its material and care instructions, and contact us immediately for the next steps.
Area rugs generally follow a similar cleaning schedule to carpet: every 6–18 months, with annual cleaning a good starting point for most homes. Rugs in busy households with children or pets may benefit from cleaning about every six months.
The right interval depends on where the rug is placed and how much use it gets. A lightly used rug may go longer between cleanings, while a rug in a busy area may need more frequent cleaning.
We offer both options for off-site rug washing. Pickup and delivery is available for an additional fee based on distance. You can also drop off your rug in Orange, CA, by appointment. Please contact us to schedule your drop-off in advance.
Yes. We use non-toxic, fruit- and plant-based cleaning products selected with the safety of children, pets, older adults and allergy-sensitive households in mind.
We accept credit cards, debit cards and Apple Pay. We do not accept cash. Checks are accepted only by mail from commercial clients.
