ORIENTAL RUG CLEANING
Can my Persian Oriental
rug be cleaned in-home.
For the optimal care of your cherished Oriental rug, it's crucial to have it cleaned outside of your home environment. Our specialized workshop offers an advanced, multi-stage Oriental rug cleaning process tailored to each rug's distinct requirements. Be cautious of in-home cleaning techniques or hot water extraction shampoos promoting comparable outcomes. A genuine deep cleaning of a rug is only possible in a specialized and dedicated facility.
Understanding the Cleaning Needs of
Hand-Woven Rugs
Hand-woven rugs uniquely attract and retain dirt from ambient surroundings and foot traffic. These soils work their way deep into the rug's foundation, far beyond the reach of ordinary vacuums or standard in-home cleaning methods.
Oriental rugs must be washed with specialized equipment and methods to extract this deep-seated dirt effectively.
Unfortunately, this deep rug-cleaning machinery isn't portable and cannot be brought into your home. Thus, in-home cleaning simply doesn't suffice for optimal results for these intricate pieces.
Our oriental rug cleaning starts with dry soil removal, or rug dusting, as we call it, to remove dry sandy/silt-like soiling.
Here is our Perssian Gabbeh rug post dusting. You can see the dramatic difference with soil removed from the foundation of this rug; however, this oriental rug is still far from being clean.
Coarse soil removed, this rug, like most, has many soils such as oils, proteins, and sugars that only a well-balanced cleaning solution and washing can remove.
Not all cleaning services spend adequate time removing dry soil, and in-home cleaning, none.
What Is The Best Rug Cleaning
Witness the transformation of this Gabbeh rug as it benefits from our deep-cleaning process. Standard surface vacuuming or commercial rug extraction might address visible impurities, but our deep-cleaning method delves deeper, targeting the deeply embedded soils that steam cleaning overlooks.
Our deep cleaning removes deeply embedded soil rugs and eliminates persistent stains and odors.
You might have stumbled upon viral laundry strip cleaning videos online. While our approach aligns with the deep-cleaning concept, our cleaning agents are milder and designed exclusively for safely cleaning Oriental and area rugs.
While our rug washing seems similar to cleaning your rug at home with a garden hose? Our washing marries state-of-the-art cleaning equipment, cleaning formulations, and old-world rug washing.

The use of the term "Orient" occurred during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284–305); used to refer to lands east of the Roman empire as Orient and rugs made in these lands as Oriental rugs.
