Oriental Rug Cleaning

Why Use Professionals To Clean Oriental Rugs?

We carry out professional cleaning of hand-knotted rugs. We focus on giving you the piece of mind that your rug will be given the level of care and attention it deserves. Decades of experience in handmade carpets allow us to give you expert advice on the level and intensity of cleaning your rug should go through; sometimes older or more fragile rugs cannot withstand the same processes as newer, harder-wearing rugs. Before cleaning begins we go through a consultation process to explain what can be expected from the cleaning of your rug.

We Know How To Clean All Types of Oriental Rugs

The benefits of using our special cleaning system over a company that simply cleans rugs and carpets in the home are many. Firstly, and most importantly, the steps we take to remove hard and ingrained dirt and dust before cleaning is actually the most important step in the rug cleaning process and is completely overlooked by most.

Without proper dusting the best that can be achieved is a surface wash. Of course when having your oriental rug cleaned it is important for the rug to look fresh, however, the health of the rug has got to be the priority. It is this fine dust and dirt that wears away at the foundation of the carpet, damaging the fibers of the foundation over time. Without removing this, the rug is not truly clean and the lasting benefits to its lifespan are not gained.

Also, if the dust and dirt are not removed prior to washing, the rug can often look dirty again very quickly. This is called ‘wicking’ and is caused by the dirt and dust in the foundation moving up the clean top section of the pile making the cleaning results short lasting.
