Conservation-minded care for hand-knotted textiles

Persian rugs are artisan textiles with natural fibres and complex dyes. On-the-floor carpet cleaning risks over-wetting, dye migration and distortion. Our facility-based process removes dry soil correctly, stabilises colour, and cleans the foundation as well as the pile — preserving clarity, handle and value.

Our Persian Rug Cleaning Process

  1. Pre-inspection, fibre & dye testing — identify construction, condition and colour stability.
  2. Mechanical dusting — removes abrasive grit from pile and through the foundation.
  3. Targeted pre-treatments — pH-appropriate; low agitation to protect pile tips and borders.
  4. Immersive wash on a supported bed — cleans evenly without stretch or wave; fringe treated separately.
  5. Pure water rinse — neutral, residue-free finish for colour clarity and soft handle.
  6. Humidity-managed drying — temperature/RH controlled; flat-dried on screens with air management.
  7. Blocking, grooming & optional protector — corrects minor distortions; aligns pile; adds soil resistance.
