Let’s get real about rug cleaning in Ventura
If you’re Googling “rug cleaning near me”, chances are something happened.
The dog picked your favorite rug as the place to panic pee.
Someone spilled sangria after saying “don’t worry, it won’t stain.”
Or maybe it’s just time — the slow fade of foot traffic, grit, and life.
Here’s what doesn’t help:
- An overpriced carpet cleaner who pretends rugs are the same as wall-to-wall carpet.
- A budget cleaner who soaks it, folds it, and hands it back with the fringe curled.
- A “rug specialist” who sends it off to who-knows-where and shrugs when it comes back wrecked.
That’s why Kelly Cleaning built the Ultimate Rug Spa. Right here in Ventura.
No gimmicks. No offshoring. No rinse-and-run.
Just real professionals, deep textile knowledge, and results you can feel — under your feet and in your lungs.
The dirty truth about Ventura rugs
Ventura’s beautiful — but it’s not rug-friendly.
We’ve got:
- Salt air and humidity from the coast
- Sand and beach tar from Pierpont, Marina Park, and San Buenaventura
- Wildfire smoke, ash, and particulate dust in dry seasons
- Pet traffic, red clay from landscaping, spilled kombucha from that backyard dinner party
This stuff doesn’t just sit on top of your rug — it burrows deep into the fibers. It clings. It ferments. And it won’t come out with a vacuum, a steam cleaner, or a bottle of “natural” enzyme spray.
Our customers try everything — until they don’t. Until they call us.
Professional rug cleaners in Ventura - no foam-and-vac hacks here
At Kelly Cleaning, we clean rugs properly.
That means we:
- Know your fibers: Silk, wool, viscose, jute, polypropylene — all react differently to water, heat, and chemistry.
- Tailor every job: There’s no one-size-fits-all here. We adjust for soil level, age, fragility, and construction.
- Use fiber-safe chemistry: We don’t blast your rug with carpet chemicals. We use lab-tested solutions designed for area rugs.
- Dry with care: Flat-dried in a humidity-controlled space — not rolled wet, not left out in the sun to “air.”
This isn’t just about clean. It’s about preservation.
We’ve saved heirloom Turkish rugs handed down three generations. High-pile designer pieces. $10,000 silks with hand-knotted fringe. And yes — the shag rug from Target you just happen to love.
What types of rugs we clean - short answer: all of them
We’ve handled thousands of rugs. Here’s just a sampling:
- Oriental & Persian rugs — wool, silk, cotton weaves
- Hand-knotted tribal rugs — Afghani, Pakistani, Moroccan, Navajo
- Tufted rugs — modern or vintage
- Machine-made synthetics — area rugs, runners, indoor/outdoor blends
- Flatweaves — kilims, dhurries, Scandinavian styles
- Shag and high-pile rugs
- Custom designer rugs
We treat every rug like it’s the only one you own. Because we know how personal it is — and how much trust it takes to hand it off.

Rug odor removal and stain treatment - the stuff Google doesn’t fix
Some things a Google search can’t solve.
That mildew smell? It’s bacterial — and it won’t “air out.”
That dark yellow pet stain? It soaked through the backing and oxidized.
That sour smell after cleaning? That’s a moisture trap — probably caused by bad drying.
We use odor-neutralizing chemistry designed for:
- Urine and pet waste
- Sour smells and mold
- Smoke and fire residue
- Spilled food, wine, and oils
And we treat stains by fiber and origin — not with a one-bottle-fits-all approach.
No perfumes. No cover-ups. Just real extraction.
How Much Does Rug Cleaning Cost in Ventura?
Most rugs we clean fall between $1.70 and $2.75 per square foot.
We’ll measure your rug precisely and give you a clear price up front.
Here’s what affects the total:
- Fiber type — Wool rugs start at a $75 minimum. Synthetics start at $55.
- Size — We calculate exact square footage.
- Soil/stain level — A lightly dusty rug costs less than one soaked in pet accidents.
- Odor or specialty treatments — Extra work means extra time, and that’s priced in.
You’ll get a quote before any work begins. No surprises. No upcharges. And if we don’t think the rug is cleanable, we’ll explain why — no guesswork, just honesty.
