Oriental Rug Cleaning
Persian, Turkish & Chinese

Hand-knotted oriental rugs are washed by hand off site, not extracted on your floor. Every colour is dye-tested before water touches the rug, and every rug dries flat so the foundation keeps its shape.

Pricing

What Moves the Number

Oriental rugs are priced by square foot and by construction, not by room. Knot density, fibre and condition all move the number: a fine silk-and-wool Tabriz takes considerably longer than a coarse Afghan village rug of the same size. Pet contamination, dye instability and existing structural damage are quoted separately because they are separate work. Collection and return across Huntington Township are included. You get the figure before the rug leaves your house.

01

How to tell a hand-knotted oriental from a machine-made copy

The reverse of a hand-knotted rug shows the pattern as clearly as the face, because the design is formed by individual knots tied through the foundation rather than printed or woven mechanically. Machine-made rugs show a grid-like or slightly blurred back, often with a latex layer or a fabric backing holding the construction together. The fringe is the second test: on a hand-knotted rug the fringe is the warp thread of the foundation itself and runs through the entire rug, whereas on most machine-made pieces it is sewn or glued on afterwards as decoration. Slight irregularity is the third: variation in knot size, a border a fraction wider at one end, or abrash, the gentle colour shift where a weaver moved between dye batches, are all marks of hand production and are considered desirable rather than faults. This matters practically as well as financially, because a hand-knotted rug with unstable natural dyes needs a completely different process from a dimensionally stable synthetic.

02

Why oriental rugs are worth restoring when carpet is not

A fitted carpet is a consumable with a service life measured in years, and past a certain point cleaning it is money spent on something that is going to be replaced. A hand-knotted oriental rug is a different proposition. A well-made Persian or Turkish rug can be a century old and still structurally sound, and proper washing every few years is maintenance rather than rescue. Value in these rugs sits in the wool quality, the dyes, the knot density and the condition of the foundation, and all four are preserved by removing abrasive grit before it cuts the fibre. The rugs we see in the worst condition are almost never the oldest ones; they are the ones that were vacuumed occasionally, spot-cleaned with household products, and never properly washed in thirty years.

03

Fringe, selvedge and the damage owners miss

The fringe is the most misunderstood part of an oriental rug. It is not trim, it is the exposed warp thread that the entire rug is tied onto, and when a fringe frays back the knots at the end of the rug begin releasing. Owners frequently trim a fraying fringe, which accelerates the process. The selvedge, the wrapped edge running down each long side, does the same job laterally and fails from vacuum-beater damage and from furniture legs. Both are repairable while there is still foundation to secure, and both become expensive reweaving jobs once the field has started to unravel. We check and secure them as part of the wash rather than treating them as a separate upsell.

04

Moths, pet damage and the problems that hide under furniture

Moth larvae feed on wool protein and work in darkness, which means the damage begins in exactly the areas nobody inspects: under a sofa, beneath a coffee table, along a wall behind a cabinet. The first visible sign is usually bare foundation showing through in patches, by which point the larvae have been feeding for months. Pet urine is the other silent problem, because it wicks down into the foundation and dries into salts that draw moisture back in humid weather, so the rug smells every summer even after the surface has been cleaned. Both are found during inspection before washing, and both are far cheaper to address early. Lifting furniture and turning a rug once a year is the single most effective preventive habit available to an owner.

Questions?

Oriental Rug Cleaning FAQ

No. Hand-knotted rugs are collected and washed at our facility, because dusting, immersion, full flushing and flat drying cannot be done properly over a finished floor. Small machine-made synthetic rugs can often be handled in the home.

Usually five to ten days depending on size, fibre and how long the foundation takes to dry completely. Silk and heavily contaminated rugs take longer. We give you a date before the rug leaves the house.

Every colour is tested individually before any immersion, and the wash is adjusted where a dye proves unstable. If a rug is too unstable to wash safely we tell you and recommend a low-moisture alternative rather than risking it.

Often yes, but it requires full immersion and flushing rather than surface treatment, because urine salts sit in the foundation. Where the deposit has been there for years, improvement is realistic and complete removal sometimes is not. We assess before quoting.
