Area Rug Cleaning

Why Choose Us for Oriental Rug Cleaning?

  • Heritage & Expertise – With decades of experience in rug care, we have refined methods tailored to the unique fabrics, dyes, and weaves found in fine oriental rugs.

  • Comprehensive Assessment – Each rug is first inspected for fiber content, fringe condition, dye stability, wear areas, and any previous repairs. This ensures your rug’s unique needs are addressed.

  • Zone-Controlled Cleaning Environment – From dusting to washing to drying, our facility uses dedicated zones to avoid cross-contamination, regulate temperature & humidity, and maximize preservation.

  • Safe, Specialized Techniques – We use pH-safe, fiber-specific cleaning formulas that protect your rug’s dyes and structure. No harsh industrial overspray.

  • Hand Finishing & Inspection – After cleaning, your rug receives a final hand-inspection, fringe straightening, edge-repair check, and grooming so it looks its best and will last longer.

Annual Rug Cleaning

Our Cleaning Process – Step by Step

  1. Dry Dust & Shake
    Your rug is gently dusted to remove embedded dirt and grit that act like sandpaper to rug fibers.

  2. Pre-Inspection & Testing
    Fringe stability, dye bleed potential, and fiber condition are evaluated so we customize the next steps.

  3. Soak-Wash or Low-Moisture Clean (as appropriate)
    Depending on the rug’s material and condition, we either gently soak it using specialized, rinse-rich methods, or apply a low-moisture process to minimize shrinkage and structural stress.

  4. Rinse & Neutralize
    After cleaning, we rinse thoroughly to remove all residue, then apply a neutralizing step to restore fiber pH balance and optimize longevity.

  5. Precision Drying
    Controlled drying—using airflow and humidity control—helps avoid mildew, re-staining, or edge distortion.

  6. Final Grooming & Inspection
    We hand-comb the pile, set the fringe, inspect for missed spots, and finish with a protective fiber rinse if requested.

  7. Delivery or Pickup
    Cleaned rugs are either available for pickup or scheduled for safe delivery back to your home, laid carefully and inspected once more in-home.

What to Expect

What You Can Expect

  • Your rug will look brighter and feel cleaner, while preserving its original dye vibrancy and fiber integrity.

  • We’ll remove the kind of embedded grit, dust, and allergens that shorten the life of high-quality rugs.

  • Your fine rug is treated as a special item—not just another carpet—so you receive personalized attention.

  • Transparent pricing, clear communication, and recommendations for ongoing care make the process easy and stress-free.

    Tips for After-Cleaning Care

    • Rotate your rug 180° every 6 – 12 months to even out wear and sunlight exposure.

    • Use rug pads underneath to minimize friction, stabilize the rug, and extend life.

    • Promptly attend to spills—with blotting (not rubbing) and minimal water until professional cleaning is possible.

    • Avoid placing heavy furniture directly on fringe or delicate edges—texture and pile can flatten over time.

    • For high-traffic areas (entryways, dining rooms), schedule a professional cleaning every 2 – 3 years; less trafficked rugs may go 4 – 5 years.
