Oriental and handmade rugs are more than floor coverings — they're investments, heirlooms, and works of art. Cleaning them requires an entirely different approach than standard carpet cleaning. The wrong method, wrong chemical, or wrong water temperature can cause dye bleeding, fiber damage, shrinkage, or permanent distortion. That's why these rugs should never be cleaned with a standard carpet wand on your living room floor.
At Elite Carpet Cleaning, we treat every rug based on its specific fiber type, dye stability, construction method, and condition. Our IICRC-certified technicians perform color-fastness testing before any cleaning begins. Handmade wool and silk rugs receive gentle full-immersion washing with controlled water temperature and pH-neutral solutions. Machine-made area rugs get a thorough cleaning calibrated to their specific materials.
We offer complimentary pick-up and delivery across the Permian Basin. Your rug is cleaned in our controlled environment — not on your floor — where we can properly flush contaminants, control drying conditions, and ensure no moisture is left behind. We also offer fringe repair, binding repair, and protective treatments.

How our oriental & area rug cleaning process works
A clear, step-by-step approach — no mystery, no upsell ambush.
1
Free Pick-Up & Evaluation
We pick up your rug at no charge anywhere in the Permian Basin. At our facility, we perform a detailed evaluation — identifying fiber type (wool, silk, cotton, synthetic), construction method (hand-knotted, hand-tufted, machine-made), dye type, and any pre-existing damage or concerns.
2
Color-Fastness Testing
Before any water or solution touches your rug, we test dye stability in an inconspicuous area. This determines whether colors are stable or prone to bleeding, which dictates our cleaning approach, water temperature, and solution selection. This step is non-negotiable for every rug we clean.
3
Dry Soil Removal
We thoroughly dust and vibrate the rug to remove dry particulate matter — sand, grit, dust, and debris trapped deep in the rug foundation. Handmade rugs can hold 3–5 pounds of dry soil per square yard. Removing this before wet cleaning prevents mud formation and abrasive damage.
4
Full-Immersion Washing
Handmade rugs receive a gentle full-immersion bath with controlled water temperature and pH-neutral, fiber-safe cleaning solutions. We hand-clean problem areas and stains individually. Machine-made rugs receive appropriate cleaning calibrated to their specific fiber and construction.
5
Thorough Rinsing & Water Extraction
Multiple rinse cycles flush all cleaning solution, soil, and contaminants from the rug. High-powered extraction removes the majority of moisture. No soap residue is left behind — residue attracts dirt and accelerates re-soiling.
6
Controlled Drying & Delivery
Your rug dries in our climate-controlled facility with proper airflow and temperature. This prevents shrinkage, mildew, color bleeding, and distortion. Once fully dry, we groom the pile, inspect the results, and deliver your rug back to your home — typically within 5–7 business days.
