rug restoration San Diego

Your fine rugs deserve more than a standard carpet cleaning. At Zeytounian Rugs in La Jolla, we provide a specialized, gentle cleaning service designed specifically for delicate area and oriental rugs. We do not use truck-mounted steam cleaners meant for wall-to-wall carpet. Instead, every rug receives our signature 9-step full-immersion hand-washing process in our dedicated facility.

This service is perfect for homeowners with Persian, Turkish, Moroccan, Chinese, wool, silk, or viscose rugs that have accumulated deep soil, dust mites, or allergens. It's also the recommended treatment for rugs with pet accidents, as our process effectively neutralizes urine odors at the source. We use only all-natural, pH-balanced soaps and no harsh chemicals, safeguarding both the rug's fibers and your family's health.

The process begins with a thorough inspection and dusting to remove dry soil. Your rug is then fully submerged and gently agitated in our custom wash bays, allowing the solution to penetrate deeply and lift out ground-in dirt. After multiple rinses with clean water, the rug is carefully extracted and air-dried in a controlled environment. The result is a rug that is not only visually revitalized but also sanitized and refreshed, with colors restored and fibers protected. For over 70 years, our family's hands-on approach has been the choice for La Jolla residents who refuse to trust their heirlooms to anyone else.

Accidents happen, and even the highest-quality rugs suffer from wear, tears, fringe damage, or pet chews. As one of the few shops in La Jolla offering true restoration services, Zeytounian Rugs can expertly repair your damaged rug to preserve its value and beauty. Our repair work meets museum-quality standards, blending seamlessly with the original craftsmanship.

This service is essential for owners of valuable oriental, Persian, or antique rugs that have sustained holes, tears, worn edges, binding damage, or unraveling. We also specialize in reweaving damaged sections, recreating intricate patterns and knotting by hand to match the original work. Fringe repair and replacement is another common service, restoring the finished look of your rug's ends. Whether it's minor damage from furniture or significant issues from moths or pets, our skilled artisans assess each piece individually.

The repair process involves carefully matching yarns for color, material, and thickness. Using traditional tools and techniques, we re-knot, re-weave, and re-bind the affected area, ensuring structural integrity and visual continuity. For rugs in La Jolla that seem beyond saving, our restoration service can often bring them back to life, extending their lifespan for decades. Entrusting your rug to our third-generation experts means investing in its future, ensuring it remains a treasured part of your home.

Pet stains and odors are one of the most common and challenging issues for rug owners in La Jolla. Standard cleaning often fails to remove the deep-set urine salts and bacteria, leaving behind persistent smells and potential dye damage. Zeytounian Rugs offers a targeted treatment service within our full-immersion wash process, specifically formulated to neutralize pet accidents completely.

This service is designed for homeowners struggling with old or new pet stains on wool, silk, or synthetic rugs. The uric acid crystals in pet urine bond deeply to rug fibers and can resurface as odor long after the initial accident. Our treatment breaks down these crystals at the molecular level, eliminating the source of the smell rather than masking it. We also address associated stains, restoring the rug's original color.

Our process starts with a detailed assessment to identify all affected areas. The rug then undergoes our comprehensive wash, where specialized enzymatic and neutralizing agents are applied to target zones. The full immersion ensures the treatment penetrates the entire rug depth, including the backing, which is often where odor lingers. After a thorough rinse and dry, your rug is returned not just clean, but truly odor-free and hygienic. For La Jolla pet owners, this service provides peace of mind, allowing you to keep your beautiful rugs without compromise.
