Background

Persian rugs are known for their nature-inspired floral patterns and deep, rich colours. They originated in Iran and have spread to every part of the globe. This type of oriental rug features symmetrical designs, which can help you arrange furniture around it. Persian rugs usually come in deep red, navy blue and vibrant gold.

Persian rug cleaning

Because of their rich dyes and mix of bright colours, Persian rugs need careful cleaning to prevent damage. A careless wash can make the dyes bleed and fade. That’s why we look over every Persian rug closely before it’s washed at our facility, then dry it properly and deliver it home.

Where the colours look as if they could bleed, we let you know and wait for your answer before going any further. Some rugs, such as damaged ones, don’t give a clear answer, so if you’re worried about the colours, tell us at pickup.

If something turns up at our facility

Some things only show once a rug is unrolled on our floor: an old repair, moth damage, a weak spot. If we find something like that, we call you before going any further. If you’d still like just the regular wash, its price stays exactly as quoted. And if you’d rather not go ahead, we bring the rug back free.

Silk Persian rugs

Some Persian rugs, such as many from Qum and Nain, include silk, and some are all silk. They need the same care as any silk rug, especially with stains. Silk rug cleaning.
