Rug Cleaning in Ojai

Rug Cleaning From a Company Cleaning Since 1978

We handle area rug cleaning for homes and businesses in Ojai and Meiners Oaks. Every rug is inspected and tested first, checking the fiber, the dyes and the condition, then washed at The Ultimate Rug Spa, our shop at 1445 Donlon St. in Ventura. Ask about pickup when you book, or bring the rug in yourself. Family-owned since 1978.

  1. Minor Repairs In ShopA torn rug or fringe that needs replacing can be fixed at The Ultimate Rug Spa while it is in for cleaning.
  2. Delicate Fibers HandledAntique, shag, silk and viscose rugs are all accepted, and viscose is handled with extra care since water and rubbing damage it.
  3. Eco-Friendly AgentsA runner or a doormat-sized piece gets as much attention as a room-sized rug, with eco-friendly agents on each.

The Carpet and Rug Institute discourages do-it-yourself cleaning of area rugs made with natural fibers other than cotton.

Sun and Dust

What Ojai’s Sun and Dust Do to an Area Rug

Dry heat, strong sun and blowing dust all age a rug. Sunlight fades the colors, and dust resting on the fibers speeds that along. Fine grit carried in on the wind works down into the pile, where each footstep grinds it against delicate wool and silk, and a vacuum only picks up what sits on top.

Where a rug sits matters as much as its fiber. A rug in a sunny entrance needs different care than one in a shaded bedroom, so we ask where each piece lives. Rugs from hotel lobbies and studios are handled the same way as rugs from homes.

Testing First

Fiber, Dye and Weave Testing Before Any Water

Two rugs can look alike and react completely differently to water. Before any solution touches a rug, we identify the fiber (wool, silk, cotton, synthetic or a blend), check how stable the dyes are, and look at how it was made: hand-knotted, tufted, flatwoven or machine-made. A spot test for dye running comes first, because bleeding and browning start with too much water or the wrong method.

Dry soil comes out next with controlled pressure or air dusting. The wash formula is matched to the pH needs of that fiber, delicate textiles may be treated by hand, sturdier rugs get deeper extraction, and drying is slow and controlled so the rug does not ripple or brown.

Edgar and Randy did an amazing job! The carpet was in a rental and was a mess. We thought we would TRY cleaning it but didn't think it could come clean. They took their time and made it like new!

Questions About Rug Cleaning

Still have a question?

Talk to the family-owned team that has been cleaning homes and businesses in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties since 1978. Quotes are free and most estimates can be scheduled the same week.

How much does rug cleaning cost in Ojai?

Price depends on the size of the job and the condition of what we are cleaning, so every rug cleaning job in Ojai is quoted on its own, free, by calling (805) 644-5308 or requesting one online, and first-time customers in Ojai take 10% off.

Do you pick up rugs in Meiners Oaks?

Yes. Ask when you book, or bring the rug to The Ultimate Rug Spa in Ventura yourself. Wall-to-wall carpet stays put and is cleaned on site by our carpet cleaning crews in Ojai.

Can a sun-faded rug from a home be brought back?

Cleaning takes out the dust and soil that make faded colors look duller, but color that sunlight has already taken out of the fiber does not return.

Will washing make the dyes run in my rug?

We spot test for dye running before any solution touches the rug and match the wash to the fiber, because bleeding comes from too much water or the wrong method.

Can you clean a silk or viscose rug from a home?

Yes. Silk is fine and delicate, and viscose reacts badly to water and rubbing, so both are tested and handled gently.

Do you clean rugs for hotels, shops and studios?

Yes. We clean area rugs for businesses as well as homes, and the rest of a hotel or shop is covered by commercial cleaning across Ojai.

Do you repair fringe and small tears on rugs?

Yes. Minor repairs such as tear repair and fringe replacement are done at The Ultimate Rug Spa while the rug is in for cleaning.
