Rug Washing Facility · 4140 N 36th Ave, Hollywood
Your rug leaves your home, gets a proper seven-step wash at our Hollywood facility, and comes back clean through and through — not surface-scrubbed where it lies. Pickup and delivery across Hollywood, Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, and Pembroke Pines.
The difference that matters
Wall-to-wall carpet is glued down, synthetic, and forgiving. A hand-knotted rug is none of those things.
Under the pile of a wool or Oriental rug sits a foundation of cotton or wool that quietly collects years of grit — pounds of it. A truck-mount wand passing over the surface leaves that grit exactly where it is, grinding away at the knots every time someone walks across the room.
Dyes are the other problem. Many older and hand-dyed rugs will bleed if they’re hit with the wrong chemistry or left wet too long. In Hollywood’s humidity, “left wet too long” happens fast.
So we don’t clean rugs in living rooms. We wash them in our facility.
Both sides dusted until the grit stops falling. A colorfastness test before any water. An immersion wash, rinsed again and again until the water runs clear. Then controlled air drying — hung or flat, depending on how the rug was made.
That’s what your rug actually needs. See each of the seven steps.
Every construction, its own wash
The method is matched to the rug — fiber, dyes, and construction decide the chemistry, the moisture, and the drying. Here’s how that plays out for the rugs Hollywood homes actually own.
Hand-knotted or machine-made, every Oriental rug gets the full seven steps: two-sided dusting, immersion wash, clear-water rinse, controlled air dry.
Persian dyes can bleed if handled carelessly, so the wash starts with a colorfastness test that decides how much moisture and which chemistry the rug can safely take.
Wool hides pounds of dry grit beneath the pile. Dusting both sides before any water touches the rug is what actually gets it out.
Silk is washed gently by hand with the mildest approach the fibers allow, then dried the way its construction calls for — never rushed.
Older rugs are examined first for dry rot, worn fringe, and unstable dyes — and if repair should come before washing, we call you before anything happens.
No pile to hide in, so soil sits in the weave itself. Flatweaves are washed and dried flat to keep their shape true.
Deep pile traps sand and dander. The wash and the drying method are matched to the backing and fiber — not a one-size cycle.
Sisal blends, souvenirs, heirlooms without labels — bring it to the evaluation and we’ll tell you honestly what it needs, or whether it needs anything at all.
From your floor and back
We collect the rug from your home anywhere in the Hollywood area, moving furniture if needed, and log its condition on the spot.
Both sides vibrated clean before water ever touches the rug — this is where the buried grit finally comes out.
Dye-tested first, then washed by hand and rinsed with clear water until nothing more comes out of the fibers.
Dried with moving air, hung or flat depending on the rug’s construction — never rushed, never returned damp.
Fringe combed and trimmed, a final check, then the rug comes back to your floor — placed, not dropped at the door.
Pricing, honestly
Because two rugs the same size can need completely different work.
A machine-made synthetic and a hand-knotted wool Persian might measure identically — and one needs triple the labor of the other. Pet contamination, unstable dyes, worn fringe, and old repairs all change what the wash involves.
A number quoted over the phone, sight unseen, is a guess. And a guess either overcharges you or gets “adjusted” upward at your door.
We’d rather look first and quote once.
After inspection you get one clear price, in writing, before any work begins. If some of the work isn’t worth paying for, we say so.
Some rugs shouldn’t be professionally washed — a worn-out machine-made rug near the end of its life, or damage that cleaning can’t undo. If that’s your rug, we’ll tell you at the evaluation and you’ll spend nothing.
Same facility, same hands
Every rug that enters the facility is checked for damage first, because washing a rug with loose knots or rotten fringe makes things worse. If repair is warranted, you get an estimate to approve before anything happens. More on repairs & restoration.

We look at the rug before naming a price. One clear number, in writing, before any work begins — and if the work isn’t worth paying for, we say so.

Straight answers
Truck-mounted carpet equipment is built for wall-to-wall carpet, not for a hand-knotted rug. A wool or Oriental rug holds pounds of dry soil that surface cleaning never reaches, so we wash rugs at our Hollywood facility — dusted on both sides, immersed, rinsed with clear water, and air dried.
Yes. We pick up and deliver across all of Hollywood — the Lakes, Emerald Hills, Hollywood Hills, and the beach — plus Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, and Pembroke Pines. A technician collects the rug, moves furniture if needed, and brings it back after the wash. See all pickup areas.
We price after we see the rug, not before. Fiber, construction, size, dye stability, pet contamination, and fringe condition all change what the wash requires, so a phone quote would only be a guess. You get one clear number after inspection — before any work starts.
Most rugs are back home within one to two weeks. The wash is careful and unhurried — repeated rinses until the water runs clear, then air drying at the pace the fiber demands. If the rug also needs repair work, we give you the adjusted timeline at inspection.
Usually, yes. Our urine treatment breaks down the odor-causing crystals bonded to the fibers, and the full immersion wash flushes them out — something surface cleaning cannot do. Results depend on how long the urine sat and the rug’s dyes; we tell you the realistic outcome at inspection. How pet odor removal works.
Yes — repair happens at the same Hollywood facility. Our craftsmen handle fringe work, reweaving, patching of holes and tears, moth and burn damage, recoloring of worn areas, selvedging, overcasting, and resizing. You approve the estimate before any repair begins. Repairs & restoration.
It can. A rug that stays damp in Hollywood’s humidity invites mildew, browning, and dry rot — which is why drying matters as much as washing. We dry rugs with moving air, hung or laid flat depending on construction, and never return a rug before it’s fully dry.
