SoCal Rug Masters specializes in Persian rug cleaning across Orange County and Southern California. Hand-knotted Persian rugs — Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, Kerman, Nain, and silk Qum — are dye-tested and hand-washed in gentle cold water, never steam-cleaned. With free pickup over $500 and a 100% guarantee, your Persian rug returns bright, soft, and protected.
Orange County is home to one of the country’s largest communities of Persian rug owners, and these hand-knotted pieces — often decades or centuries old — deserve specialist care. Persian rug cleaning in Orange County is a core service at SoCal Rug Masters: we inspect, dye-test, and gently hand-wash every Persian rug, from a village Kashan to a fine silk Qum. It’s all part of our broader rug cleaning expertise, and closely related to our Oriental rug cleaning.
Persian dyes — especially deep reds and indigos in older village and tribal rugs — can be unstable, and wool foundations shrink under heat. A single pass from a carpet steam cleaner can bleed color and warp a rug worth thousands. That’s why we always run dye colorfastness testing before washing, then clean in cold water with gentle, pH-balanced solutions. For wool Persians we protect natural lanolin with wool-specific care; for silks we use the delicate process detailed on our silk rug cleaning page. It’s the opposite of one-size-fits-all carpet cleaning.
We clean Persian rugs from every weaving center — Tabriz, Kashan, Isfahan, Kerman, Nain, Qum, Heriz, and tribal Gabbeh and Bakhtiari pieces — matching our method to each rug’s fiber and age. Antique and heirloom Persians get our most conservative handling; see antique rug cleaning. Pet accidents are treated with enzyme decontamination at the foundation level, and large room-size Persians receive the same hand process as our area rug cleaning. If a rug also needs repair, our restoration team can re-tie fringe or re-weave damage after cleaning.
We serve the whole region with free pickup and delivery on cleaning orders over $500. Nearby cities include Irvine and Costa Mesa, plus Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Beverly Hills, and beyond. We inspect and photograph your Persian rug at pickup and return it unrolled in your home, typically within 7–14 days.
A little care between professional cleanings keeps a Persian rug beautiful for generations. Rotate the rug once or twice a year so foot traffic and sunlight wear it evenly, and use a quality custom rug pad to cushion the pile and protect your floors. Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, and never scrub a spill — blot it with a clean white cloth and call us. Keep the rug out of prolonged direct sun to slow fading. Most Persian rugs in active rooms benefit from professional cleaning every 12–18 months; see how often to clean a rug for a fuller guide, or book a full rug cleaning whenever the pile looks dull or feels gritty underfoot.
Unstable Persian dyes and wool foundations make hand-knotted Persian rugs especially vulnerable to the heat and detergents of ordinary carpet cleaning — risking bleeding and shrinkage.
We dye-test every color, then hand-wash in gentle cold water with pH-balanced solutions matched to each Persian rug’s fiber, region, and age.
Your Persian rug returns with its rich colors intact, pile restored, and foundation protected — fully guaranteed.
Every Persian rug follows the same gentle, hands-on sequence, with dye testing before any water touches the pile.
We identify fiber, construction, and any pre-existing damage at pickup, then photograph and label the rug.
Every color is tested for colorfastness so we can choose the safest cleaning method.
Deep dusting and vacuuming remove abrasive grit that grinds down fibers over time.
Full-immersion, pH-balanced hand washing flushes the pile and foundation until the water runs clear.
Centrifuge extraction and temperature-controlled drying, finished by California sunshine.
A final groom and quality check, then we unroll the rug in your home for approval.
