Rug and Persian carpet cleaning
A good rug ties a room together, but it also takes a beating. Grit works its way down to the base, where it grinds against the fibres every time someone walks over it. Regular deep cleaning keeps colours bright and helps the rug last.

Why rugs need a different approach
Unlike fitted carpets, loose rugs vary widely in construction, fibre and dye. Hand-knotted Persian rugs in particular may use natural dyes that can bleed if cleaned the wrong way. A careful cleaner checks the fibre, tests the dyes and adjusts the method, temperature and cleaning solution to suit the rug.
A typical rug clean
- Inspection of fibre, dyes, backing and fringes
- Dry soil removal, which is especially important for thick rugs
- Spot treatment of marks
- Cleaning with a method suited to the rug
- Drying, grooming the pile and tidying the fringes
Looking after your rug between cleans
- Vacuum regularly, but avoid catching fringes in the beater bar.
- Rotate the rug every few months so it wears and fades evenly.
- Keep it out of strong direct sunlight where you can.
- Use a non-slip underlay to reduce wear and movement.

Frequently asked questions
Can Persian rugs be cleaned at home?
Some rugs can be cleaned on site, while valuable or heavily soiled hand-knotted rugs may be better cleaned off site. The contractor will look at the rug's fibre, dyes and condition and recommend the safest option.
Will the colours run?
A professional cleaner tests the dyes for colour-fastness before cleaning. Natural-dye and older rugs need particular care, so let the contractor know if your rug is antique or valuable.
Can you clean rug fringes?
Fringes can usually be cleaned along with the rug. Fringes that are badly discoloured or damaged may need specialist attention.
Do you clean wool and silk rugs?
Mention the fibre in your enquiry. Wool and silk need gentler, carefully controlled cleaning, so the contractor will confirm what is suitable for your rug.
