Expert Rug Cleaners serving Santa Cruz and surrounding areas since 1947
Care begins with understanding your rug
No handmade rug is exactly the same. They have different dyes, different weaves, and different foundations—all of which dictate how they need to be cleaned. Although machine-made rugs are less expensive, they also have their own unique set of cleaning challenges.
Your rugs deserve the right care—not a one-size-fits-all cleaning. That’s why Santa Cruz Rug Cleaners now offers three simple rug-care packages. Just choose the level that best fits your rug and your home.
Whether you need simple maintenance cleaning or more extensive care, our skilled team follows a meticulous process to make sure your rug is handled with the utmost attention. From the time it arrives at our facility until it is ready for pickup or delivery, your rug is carefully inspected, measured, and professionally washed—both front and back.
We are experienced in maintaining the value and beauty of many different types of rugs, including:
