Master Rug Cleaning

33+ years of expert hand-washing, stain removal, and gentle care.

Our Heritage & Care Philosophy

Treating every masterpiece as if it were our own.

Since 1981, and operating our flagship Mountain View showroom since 1996, The Rug Center has been the Bay Area's most trusted name in fine rugs. We do not use harsh machines or automated tumbling. Instead, we rely on the traditional, time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

With over 33 years of cleaning expertise and 29+ years of restoration mastery, we guarantee that every rug—whether a treasured family heirloom or a newly acquired silk Persian—receives white-glove, eco-friendly, and pH-balanced care to ensure it lasts for generations to come.

Pet Stain & Odor Removal

Enzymatic treatments that dive deep into the foundation to neutralize odors and safely extract stubborn stains.
