Area Rug Moth/Insect Control
Insects are a major concern when found in wool rugs. We offer a product that is safe for children and pets. This is not an insecticide that kills the larvae, it changes the “flavor” of the wool and acts as a deterrent to insect larvae eating your rug.
Moths and carpet beetles are a major concern when found in fine rugs. The damage is done when the moth is in the larval stage. The larvae feed on wool, silk, and animal hair. We offer a product that will act as a deterrent and actually makes the rug bitter to their taste. this product is not toxic to children or pets, it is a very safe product.
This process is very important before storing rugs. While there are no guarantees that moths will ever return, cleaning and treatment is the best method to combat this problem.
Our Cleaning Process
At Bear Oriental Rug Cleaning, we take pride in our comprehensive 9-step area rug insect control process.
We start by thoroughly inspecting your rug to identify any insect damage, and then create a personalized treatment plan. Our deep cleaning method removes dirt, larvae, and debris, preparing the rug for treatment.
We apply eco-friendly insecticides to eliminate pests, focusing on safely treating delicate natural fibers like wool and silk. We also remove eggs and larvae hidden deep within the fibers, ensuring the infestation cycle is broken.
After cleaning, we apply preventative treatments to protect your rug from future infestations. Our final inspection guarantees that the pests are gone, and we offer expert care advice tailored to New Mexico’s unique climate. This not only addresses current insect problems but also ensures long-term protection for your rugs.
Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or looking to prevent one, we’ve got you covered. We’ll keep your rugs safe, clean, and in great condition, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re protected for years to come.

I brought an area rug (Turkish runner) to be cleaned. Anthony took the time to explain the cleaning process in detail. He also noticed that the fringe was damaged and needed to be stabilized, which they took care of. Jenell did an outstanding job on the cleaning - I had forgotten how bright the colors were! Very pleased with the service and would use the company again.Posted on Google Karen AdamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I've used Bear Oriental Rug Cleaning for a variety of services over the years to include dropping off runners to in-house carpet cleaning. They're my go-to option for any rug cleaning as their quality of work, customer service, and pricing are all excellent. For the in-house service I had Noah assist me who was very professional and polite and whenever I go to the shop Janelle is always incredibly friendly and helpful.

Bear Oriental Rug Cleaning did an excellent job cleaning and moth-proofing my large Navajo weaving. I was especially pleased with Jeneille's help when I came to pick it up. I will use them again.Posted on Google R DeMilleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had several rugs cleaned in my lifetime, but this was the best experience I've had. I purchased a hi-quality, wool, 5X7 rug at an estate sale for a really low price--it had a few rust-like stains right in the middle of it. I took it to Bear (getting a 20% discount for transporting it myself). I showed the rug and its issues to Juneal who assured me she could handle it. In short--she did. She was so friendly, and the turnaround time was really quick. The. Rug. Looks. Awesome--like new as a matter of fact. The price was very reasonable for a rug this size. I have several more rugs that could use a good cleaning; now I know where to take them. Thanks Juneal--Great job!!Posted on Google Karen WaggonerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
