Our Customized, Safe Cleaning Process for Persian Rug Cleaning
No two rugs are exactly alike—from fiber content and dyes to age, origin, and condition. Our cleaning process is tailored to the unique needs of each rug we clean. Here is an overview of our careful cleaning approach:
Consultation and Analysis – We first meet with you to closely inspect your rug’s fibers, dyes, wear patterns, fringe condition, and structure. Testing dye colorfastness and analyzing any pre-existing damage allows us to determine the safest cleaning methods.
Gentle Surface Cleaning – We use specialized tools to gently lift and remove dry soil particles before washing. This prevents them from settling deeper during the cleaning process.
Immersion Washing – Your rug is gently immersed and washed in a controlled wash pit facility. We use the mildest, eco-friendly detergents at precise temperatures based on the rug’s fiber needs.
Rinsing – Thorough rinsing is vital to fully remove all cleaning agents. Your rug may be rinsed multiple times to eliminate all traces of detergent residue. This prevents fiber and dye damage.
Drying – We lay your rug flat or hang it to completely air dry without damaging fringe. Slow, controlled drying prevents mold, mildew, and shrinkage.
Finishing Touches – Before returning your rug, we groom the pile, shape fringe, and make any needed repairs identified during cleaning.
Optional Services – From storage and mothproofing to appraisals and padding, we offer a range of services to meet your rug’s needs.
Regular Rug Cleaning: Critical for Preserving Your Investment
Like any treasured textile, Persian rugs require regular care and cleaning to maintain their visual appeal and monetary value. Professional cleaning every 1-2 years provides many benefits:
- Safely lifts embedded dirt, oil, and stains that distort colors over time
- Brings out the depth and vibrancy of natural dyes
- Removes abrasive particles that degrade delicate fibers
- Keeps hand-tied knots secure and aligned
- Prevents fringe from becoming matted and tangled
- Deters attraction of dust mites and allergens deep in fibers
- Provides expert evaluation for detection of damage and repairs
- Protects wool fibers from moths and carpet beetles
- Ensures a long life and enhanced investment value
Additionally, routine cleaning gives you peace of mind knowing your rug is freshly sanitized and free of pollutants. Avoid DIY methods that risk shrinking, color bleeding, and pile distortion. Our experts use solutions designed just for your rug’s needs.
