Specialist Persian & Fine Area Rug Cleaning in Las Cruces

Your fine area rugs are more than just floor coverings; they are works of art, family heirlooms, and valuable investments. Unlike standard wall-to-wall carpet, these delicate pieces are often made with natural fibers like wool and silk and colored with intricate dyes that demand a specialized cleaning approach. At Las Cruces Carpet Cleaning, we provide Las Cruces with an expert, off-site rug cleaning service designed to safely and effectively restore the vibrancy and softness of your treasured rugs.

The art of rug making spans the globe, and each region has unique materials, construction techniques, and dye processes. Our certified technicians have the knowledge and experience to properly identify and care for a wide variety of rugs from around the world.

We specialize in cleaning and preserving woven treasures including:

• Persian Rugs: (e.g., Tabriz, Kashan, Isfahan)
• Turkish Rugs: (e.g., Oushak, Herekek, Kayseri)
• Chinese & Tibetan Rugs: (Art Deco & Modern)
• India Rugs: (e.g., Agra, Jaipur)
• Rugs from Pakistan & Nepal
• Afghan Rugs
• Moroccan Rugs
• Mexican Rugs (Zapotec & Oaxacan)
• American Rugs: Including iconic Karastan and authentic Navajo woven rugs.

Whether your rug is a dense, plush silk masterpiece or a flat-woven wool heirloom, we treat it with the individual respect and specialized care it deserves.

To ensure the safety and deep cleaning of your rug, we perform all work in our controlled, professional facility. This process is far superior to surface cleaning a rug in your home.

Step 1: Free Pick-Up & Detailed Inspection We begin with a complimentary pick-up from your Las Cruces home. At our facility, we thoroughly inspect your rug to identify its fibers, construction, and dye type. We note any pre-existing conditions, stains, or areas of concern.

Step 2: Advanced Dry Soil Removal Using specialized dusting equipment, we safely remove pounds of deeply embedded dry soil, dust, and grit that regular vacuums can never reach. This is the most critical step for preserving the life of your rug’s fibers.

Step 3: Color Fastness Testing & Spot Treatment We test the rug’s dyes to ensure they are stable before proceeding. Any specific spots or stains are pre-treated with gentle, pH-balanced solutions tailored to the stain and fiber type.

Step 4: Full Immersion Wash Your rug is bathed in a shallow pool of cool water and a mild, fiber-specific shampoo. Our technicians gently agitate the rug to remove all remaining soil. This full immersion process mimics traditional river washing in a controlled, modern environment.

Step 5: Complete Rinsing & Water Removal We thoroughly rinse all dirt and cleaning agents from the rug until the water runs clear. The rug is then put through a specialized centrifuge that removes up to 95% of the water in just minutes, preventing dye bleed and ensuring a safe, efficient drying process.

Step 6: Controlled Climate Drying & Grooming The rug is hung to dry in our climate-controlled drying room with proper air circulation. This is the only way to prevent shrinkage, browning, and mildew. Once dry, we groom the pile to restore its natural softness and texture.

Step 7: Final Inspection & Free Delivery Your rug undergoes a final, multi-point inspection. Once it meets our high standards, we will wrap it for protection and deliver it back to your home, ready to be enjoyed.

We love our pets, but we know that accidents can happen on your most valuable rugs. Pet urine is one of the most difficult issues to treat because it penetrates deep into the rug’s foundation fibers, and the uric acid crystals that cause the odor become more concentrated as they dry.

Surface cleaning is not enough—it often spreads the contamination and only temporarily masks the smell.

Our full immersion washing process is the only method proven to completely eliminate pet urine and its odor. We submerge the entire rug in a specialized, pH-balancing treatment bath designed to break down and dissolve the uric acid crystals. This allows us to safely and thoroughly flush all contaminants from deep within the rug, leaving it truly clean and sanitary. We don’t just cover up the odor; we remove the source, for a fresh, healthy rug you can enjoy with peace of mind.

Your fine rugs deserve more than a surface clean. Trust the Las Cruces experts to provide the deep, restorative care they need. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why can’t you just clean my fine area rug in my home? A: In-home surface cleaning is unsafe and ineffective for fine rugs. It leaves behind soapy residue, cannot remove the abrasive dry soil at the rug’s foundation, and can cause dye bleeding and mildew from improper drying. Our off-site, full immersion process is the only method recommended by rug experts worldwide.

Q: Can you remove pet urine odors from my rug? A: Yes. Our full immersion washing process is the most effective way to remove pet urine odors. We are able to flush the urine salts completely out of the rug’s foundation fibers, which is something a simple surface cleaning can never accomplish.

Q: How often should I have my Persian or Navajo rug professionally cleaned? A: For rugs in moderate-traffic areas, we recommend a professional cleaning every 2-3 years. For rugs in high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children, a cleaning every 1-2 years will help preserve its beauty and prevent premature wear.

Q: Can you remove pet urine odors and stains from my rug?

A: Absolutely. This is one of our most requested specialty services. Pet urine is a complex issue due to uric acid crystals that embed deep in the rug’s foundation fibers, which cannot be removed by standard cleaning. Our specialized pet urine treatment and full immersion washing process are specifically designed to submerge the rug, targeting and flushing out these stubborn, odor-causing crystals. We don’t just mask the odor; we eliminate it at its source, leaving your rug fresh, sanitary, and truly clean.

Regarding stains, the acidic nature of urine can sometimes permanently discolor delicate wool or silk dyes. However, we have a very high success rate in significantly improving or removing them. We will provide an honest assessment of the potential outcome during our pre-inspection.

Q: I live in Deming (or Silver City, Hatch, T or C). Can I still use your specialty rug cleaning service?

A: Yes, absolutely! We are proud to serve as the regional rug care hub for many communities in Southern New Mexico. A significant number of our valued clients make the short drive from towns like Deming, Hatch, T or C, and Silver City because they understand that their fine rugs require a level of expert care that isn’t available locally. While our complimentary pick-up service is for the immediate Las Cruces area, we make the drop-off process simple and easy. Please call us ahead of time to schedule!
