What to send us
The rug’s length and width, a photo of the front and the back, any label, and whether there’s a pad, sand or a pet accident. Text it to (424) 209-7667 with your ZIP.
Build my estimate ↗North of Montana to Ocean Park
Our Santa Monica jobs spread across all five ZIP codes: 90403 (12 jobs) and 90404 (11) lead, followed by 90402 north of Montana (6), 90405 in Ocean Park and Sunset Park (5) and 90401 downtown (3). Apartments and condos are common, so tell us about parking, the elevator or stairs and any building hours.
Grit, humidity and drying time
Near the beach, sand works deep into the pile and acts like sandpaper on the fibers, which is why vacuuming comes first in our process. Shake out or vacuum what you can before the visit. Marine-layer mornings can slow drying, so open windows or run a fan after the visit and keep the pad and furniture off until the rug is fully dry. Typical drying time is about 4–8 hours; thick pile or a humid day can take until the next morning.
Wool, viscose, cotton and jute
Wool cleans well but holds water. Cotton and flatweaves can shrink or bleed if they get too wet. Viscose can yellow or lose its sheen, and some viscose rugs shouldn’t be wet-cleaned. Jute and sisal can brown. Send a photo of the front, the back and any label, and we’ll tell you honestly before you book whether your rug suits our process.
Urine and odor in rugs
Urine soaks into the backing and the pad, and older accidents are harder to treat. We assess it honestly rather than promise it will disappear. A pad that has absorbed urine may need replacing. For urine and pet odors we add a separate deodorizing treatment to the cleaning. Heavy stain or pet odor treatment is a +$40 add-on, so mention the accident when you ask for an estimate.

There’s sand in my rug. Should I do anything first?
