PERSIAN CARPET CLEANING? WE TREAT IT WITH RESPECT.
A Persian carpet is a work of art — hand-knotted craftsmanship, natural dyes and generations of tradition. It deserves more than standard carpet cleaning. We know the techniques to clean your Persian rug without affecting the colours, knots or value.
Why Persian carpets cannot simply be cleaned like any other rug
Persian and Oriental carpets are hand-knotted from natural materials such as wool, silk and cotton, and dyed with plant-based or mineral dyes. This combination makes them beautiful but also vulnerable. Standard cleaning methods can cause irreversible damage.
- Natural dyes such as indigo and madder can bleed when exposed to the wrong cleaning agents
- The hand-knotted structure can distort from overly powerful extraction or wringing
- Silk accents in the carpet are extra sensitive to heat and chemical products
- Fringe and edges wear quickly with incorrect treatment and are expensive to repair
- Moisture that remains in the carpet too long can cause the cotton foundation to rot
- Old carpets have weaker fibres that can break under aggressive cleaning
When should you have your Persian carpet professionally cleaned?
Persian carpets are more robust than many people think, but there are moments when professional cleaning is the best choice.
What we remove from your Persian carpet
How we clean your Persian carpet
Respectful cleaning in three steps
Inspection and colourfastness test
We thoroughly examine your carpet: the type of knot, the materials used, the condition of the fibres and the dyes. We perform a colourfastness test on every colour in the pattern. Only when we know everything is safe do we begin the cleaning.
Hand cleaning with gentle products
We clean your Persian carpet with pH-neutral, colour-safe products. For sensitive colours, we work by hand rather than with machines. Stains are treated separately with colour-safe stain removers. We always keep the water temperature low to prevent shrinkage and colour bleeding.
Flat drying and quality control
We dry your carpet flat and evenly to prevent distortion. After drying, we inspect every centimetre for the result. The fringe is hand-combed and straightened. Your carpet is delivered in the best possible condition.
Why a Persian carpet deserves a specialist
What to expect after the cleaning
Why Persian carpets require a unique approach
Persian carpets are dyed with natural colourants from plants, insects and minerals. These dyes produce the warm, deep tones that make Persian carpets so beloved, but they can bleed when exposed to the wrong cleaning agents or an excessively high pH. That is why we test each colour separately before we begin. We exclusively use pH-neutral products, cold water and hand techniques where needed. The cotton foundation of the carpet is sensitive to prolonged moisture, so we ensure fast, flat drying. All of this takes more time than machine carpet cleaning, but it is the only responsible way to treat a Persian carpet.
