Loose rugs are priced and cleaned by size, fiber and how they were made. Synthetic rugs are usually cleaned where they lie. Wool, oriental and hand-knotted rugs often go to a cleaning plant to be dusted, washed on both sides and dried flat. Some dyes run when wet, so every color is tested first.

Area rug cleaning: questions
What does area rug cleaning cost in Ventura?
Typical national cost range, not a quote: $80–$200 for a 5x8, $150–$400 for an 8x10 and $250–$600 for a 9x12; hand-washed wool, oriental or Persian rugs $5–$8 per square foot. Maid VIP estimate: estimated by size and fiber. Nobody publishes a Ventura average; Maid VIP confirms the price before any work.
Does a wool rug have to go to a plant?
Not always, but wool, oriental and hand-knotted rugs often do: a plant can dust them, wash both sides and dry them flat with controlled airflow. Ask whether pickup and delivery are in the price.
Why did the colors in my rug run?
Some dyes, especially in hand-made rugs, aren’t colorfast and move when they get wet. A careful cleaner tests each color with a damp white cloth first and changes the method, or sends the rug to a plant, if a dye moves.
