The Silk & Wool Rug Cleaners
Dedicated to the Art of Silk and Wool Rug Cleaning in Woodland Hills
A Company Born From Disappointment In This Field
The Silk and Wool Rug Cleaners did not begin with a business plan on a desk. We began with a frustration that is common in this field, too many rugs come out of cleaning in worse condition than when they went in. A once shiny and three dimensional rug ends up flat. Fringe once neatly arranged comes out frayed. Once vibrant colors come out dull or bleeding into each other in a way that cannot be completely reversed. In many areas of this field, speed has replaced skill, and the rugs that people value the most suffer from this. We created this company to address that problem.

A Craft Rather Than A Service
Cleaning silk and wool rugs is more accurately a craft than a service. Silk reacts to both moisture and heat differently than synthetics. Wool absorbs moisture and odors in ways that can cause irreversible damage if not completely understood prior to cleaning. Natural dyes, hand knotted construction and other older methods of weaving each have their own quiet rules and the breaking of any of these can cause permanent damage to the final appearance and feel of the rug. We take the time to understand these differences because these rugs were not intended to be treated like carpet remnants. They were selected, woven and maintained for reasons unrelated to convenience.
Why This Focus Is Important to The Silk & Wool Rug Cleaners
The Silk & Wool Rug Cleaners do not attempt to be everything to everyone. We do not attempt to clean all types of flooring or take on all jobs that walk through our door. This is on purpose. A company that focuses on a small area of expertise can focus on learning more about fiber and dye reactions, odor absorption and repair methods instead of spreading attention too thin across many unrelated services. When a silk or wool rug comes to us it is not an exception that requires a general service to be applied. It is the type of work we created our standards for from the beginning.
Respect For What A Rug Can Mean
Many of the rugs we service were not simply purchased from a store display. Some traveled across the globe before arriving in a home in Woodland Hills. Others were passed down through generations with stories that have nothing to do with the room they are in. And still others were carefully chosen, piece by piece over months of searching for the perfect rug. The Silk & Wool Rug Cleaners take the context of all of these into account, even when we don’t know the full history behind the rug. The value of a rug is seldom just monetary and our process reflects this.
Standards That Do Not Flex For Conveniences
Regardless of how busy a given week may be every rug we accept goes through the same disciplined process. Every rug is inspected prior to cleaning. Every rug is tested prior to treatment. Every rug is carefully and controlled dried prior to being deemed complete. The Silk & Wool Rug Cleaners would rather take the time a rug actually needs than rush it out the door to keep pace with a schedule. This approach has affected every aspect of this company, from the methods used to the way our specialists are trained to notice details that would be missed with a rushed glance.
A Team Built On Knowledge And Patience
Each of the people involved with our rugs share a respect for fibers and the traditions that surround them. This respect cannot be rushed or faked. It comes from a continual attention to the craft, a willingness to slow down when necessary for a particular rug, and a refusal to treat these delicate fibers the same as everyday carpet. This is the standard we apply to every rug we service, whether it be a modern wool rug or a hand knotted heirloom that has outlived several owners. If you have a silk or wool rug that deserves more than an ordinary cleaning we would be happy to show you what a more careful cleaning looks like.
