How Your Oriental Rug Should Be Cleaned

Since 2007, Oriental Rug Salon has been the “cleaner of choice” to many Oriental rug retailers, interior designers, rug collectors, and clients throughout the United States desirous of a professional hand washing of their cherished Persian, Oriental, Turkish, Kilim, and other wool and silk area rugs.

The beauty and life of an Oriental or Persian area rug are dependent on its cleaning and maintenance.  A lack of care and attention will contribute to the rug’s loss of value and attractiveness.  Our experienced and certified artisans are experts in cleaning and repairing a wide variety of area rugs and kilims.

Each rug cleaned by Oriental Rug Salon is washed by hand under the watchful eye of a Rug Master.  We have other cleaning methods available to address their needs for the one percent of rugs that cannot sustain a complete submersion washing.

Our 6,000 square foot facility can handle any area rug and animal hides, antique, cotton, nylon, or other artificial material rugs.  We also offer repair and appraisal services and secure storage, insect, and pet urine treatments.

Regular wash and maintenance of your rug will not only maintain its value and beauty but will guarantee a longer life by:

  • Removing abrasive dirt and grit that can sand the face yarns of the rug
  • Removes pollen, dust mites, pollen, and other deep-set contaminates
  • Restores the strength and elasticity of the wool to help resist foot traffic
  • Removes spots and spills that can become permanent and damage the rug
  • Helps restore and protect the original dye color, luster, and rug feel

  • Full submersion handwashing
