Area Rug Cleaning for Santa Rosa Homes
Area rugs add warmth, personality, and color to your home—but over time, they also collect dust, dirt, allergens, and odors. At North Coast Carpet Care, we help homeowners across Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Novato, San Rafael, Mill Valley, Napa, and San Francisco keep their area rugs fresh, vibrant, and protected. Whether it’s a machine-made runner or a hand-knotted heirloom, our professional rug cleaning services are designed to restore beauty while being safe for your home and the environment.
We are the largest locally family-owned carpet cleaning company in the region, trusted by thousands of families since 1988. Our process is child- and pet-safe, uses only biodegradable products, and aligns with California’s environmentally conscious values—so you can feel good about every clean.
How We Clean Rugs: A Detailed, Gentle Process
Area rugs require specialized care to protect their fibers, dyes, and structure. At North Coast Carpet Care, we follow a thorough, step-by-step method to lift soil, neutralize odors, and leave your rug looking like new.
Our 12-Point Rug Cleaning Process Includes:
✦ Machine Dusting – We use harmonic vibration to dislodge deeply embedded soil.
✦ Vacuuming – Both sides of the rug are vacuumed to remove dry particulates.
✦ Pile Lifting – We gently lift yarns to bring hidden debris to the surface.
✦ Dye Stability Test – We check colorfastness and stabilize dyes as needed.
✦ Pre-Conditioning & Spotting – Special attention is given to stains and high-traffic areas.
✦ Submersion Cleaning – The rug is gently bathed to release deep-seated dirt.
✦ Shampooing – We use safe, fabric-appropriate cleansers for effective cleaning.
✦ Extraction – Soil and water are removed using low-moisture extraction.
✦ Soft Water Rinse – A final rinse helps prevent residue buildup.
✦ Second Extraction – Any remaining moisture is thoroughly pulled from the fibers.
✦ Grooming – Fibers are realigned for a consistent, soft finish.
✦ Forced Air Drying – Rugs are dried completely with controlled airflow.
In-home area rug cleaning is available, but our off-site process offers the deepest clean for more delicate or high-value rugs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my area rug still look dusty even after vacuuming?
Rugs are tightly woven and trap dust and allergens below the surface. Our deep cleaning process removes what vacuums can’t reach.
Is it safe to clean delicate or antique rugs?
Yes! We test dye stability, use fabric-safe solutions, and follow a customized process to gently clean even heirloom pieces.
Can you remove pet stains or musty odors from my rug?
Absolutely. We offer targeted treatments to lift pet stains and permanently neutralize odors caused by pets, smoke, or moisture.
How often should I get my area rug professionally cleaned?
Once every 12–18 months is ideal for most homes—more often if the rug is in a high-traffic area or shared with pets and kids.
Can you clean rugs in my home?
Yes! We offer in-home cleaning for convenience, though off-site service allows for deeper, more thorough restoration.
Will cleaning shrink or damage my rug?
No. We use moisture-controlled methods and drying systems designed to preserve size, shape, and softness.

They did a much better job than other companies I have used in the past and much better than if I did the job myself. They were here when they said they'd be and did the work in a short period of time.
