We provide onsite, pick-up & deliver or drop-off rug cleaning services
These options provide you with convenience and can save you time or money.
Note: Hand made, silk, fine Oriental / Persian / Turkish / Afghan, knotted and most wool, flokati & shag pile rugs require hand-washing. Steam cleaning and rotary machine methods are not recommended for rugs with delicate fibres.
Some stains such as pet urine, ink, tea & coffee, cordial, coloured wax stains, severe water marks and extensive dye bleeding may not be completely removed as they have permanently changed the colour and/or condition of the fibre.
If the rug has pet urine odours we treat it by applying a urine neutraliser and deodoriser - sometimes multiple treatments are required when extensive urine contamination has occurred.

Our submersion hand wash rug cleaning process achieves optimum results for your precious handmade rugs, hall runners and mats with delicate fibres
Dirt, dust and particle removal
It is important to remove these particles from the rug pile as the combination of foot traffic and dry soil can act like sandpaper on the delicate fibres. Dirt lying deep within the rug is removed using compressed air and vacuums.
Rug Wash and Rinse
In many of the countries where oriental rugs, mats and runners are manufactured, the washing is done in a flowing river, where rugs are submerged for hours at a time. Our process essentially replicates this method with a wash tank in which water moves from one end to the other continuously. Mild cleaning solutions designed specifically for Oriental rug fibres like silk and wool are massaged deeply into the rug. Unlike a simple bath, our process irrigates fresh water across the rug.
Fringes are treated separately to prevent damage.
Final Rinse
The rug is removed from the wash tank and given a soft water rinse.
Drying
The rugs are air dried under filtered sunlight as much as possible as sunlight makes the result more beautiful and gives nature's warmth to the fibre
Grooming the Fringes
Attention to detail is essential at this stage, so we hand-comb the rug’s fringes to ensure that they are properly finished and groomed.
Final Inspection
We maintain the highest standards, so our inspection process is thorough. We don't hesitate to repeat any steps that might be necessary to provide you with the cleanest rug possible.
