Professional Oriental and Persian Rug Cleaning | Oriental Rug Salon
Oriental and Persian rugs are not just floor coverings but works of art. Each rug tells a story, woven with care and precision, often passed down through generations. However, like any cherished possession, they require proper maintenance to preserve their beauty, value, and longevity. This is where professional rug cleaning comes into play, especially when entrusted to Oriental Rug Salon rather than a regular carpet cleaning company.
Reasons to Choose a Certified Rug Cleaning Professional
Expertise in Rug Types
Oriental Rug Salon has extensive knowledge, experience, and certification of different rug types, including Oriental and Persian rugs. We understand each rug’s unique characteristics and needs, ensuring a tailored cleaning approach.
Appropriate Cleaning Methods

We use gentle yet effective techniques to remove dirt and stains without causing harm to the fibers or colors of the area rug. That’s why rug owners from around the country trust us to care for their area rugs. Experience matters!
Preservation of Rug Integrity
Regular maintenance by certified professionals helps preserve the structural integrity of the rug. This includes preventing fraying, fading, insect invasion, and other forms of damage that can occur over time.
Health and Safety Considerations
A clean rug contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Oriental Rug Salon uses safe and eco-friendly cleaning solutions, reducing the risk of allergies, viruses, and other health issues. Our cleaning solutions are GOLD Certified and approved by the Carpet & Rug Institute.
Risks of Using a Carpet Cleaning Company For Oriental Rug Cleaning
Lack of Specialization
Carpet cleaning companies often lack the specialization required for Oriental and Persian rugs. Their one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable for these unique and delicate items. Cleaning wall-to-wall carpeting is not the same as cleaning wool or silk textiles, The cleaning solutions, expertise, water conditions, and care are different than what a carpet cleaner would use on nylon carpeting. In addition, it is impossible to deeply clean a dense wool or silk area rug in the home.
Potential Damage to Rugs
The use of harsh chemicals or inappropriate cleaning methods by non-specialists can lead to irreversible damage, such as color bleeding, dry rot, or weakening of the fibers.
Inadequate Cleaning Techniques
Carpet cleaners do not have the necessary equipment or techniques to thoroughly clean and dry these rugs in your home, leading to issues like mold or mildew growth. Before you trust the cleaning to just anyone, make certain they have a dedicated rug cleaning plant, adequate insurance, and are certified.
Long-Term Effects on Rug Quality
Repeated cleaning by non-experts can gradually degrade the quality of the rug, affecting its appearance and value.
