Exceptional Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning Experts

Where Elegance Meets Expertise and Every Thread Matters

A Persian or Oriental rug is not just décor—it’s heritage. These woven works of art represent centuries of cultural tradition and craftsmanship. At Oriental Rug Salon, we treat each piece with the reverence it deserves. As a family-owned business built on integrity, tradition, and attention to detail, we’ve set the gold standard in rug cleaning and care across Southwest Florida since 2007.

Our clients don’t settle for average—and neither do we.

Why Expert Oriental and Persian Rug Cleaning Matters

Ever try vacuuming your rug and feel like it barely made a difference? That’s because surface-level cleaning won’t cut it for hand-knotted treasures. Rugs accumulate years of dirt, oils, allergens, and even pest residue—most invisible to the naked eye.

We go beyond the surface.

Every cleaning we perform is meticulously designed to preserve color, integrity, and history. Whether it’s a 200-year-old Persian masterpiece a contemporary tribal Gabbeh, your rug gets VIP treatment.

Our Unique Approach to Rug Care – Respect First, Results Always

We believe the first step in rug care is respect. That’s why each rug undergoes a multi-stage customized cleaning plan based on its fiber content, dye stability, weave structure, age, and overall condition.

Step-By-Step: Our Rug Cleaning Process

Thorough Pre-Inspection

Before we touch a single fiber, we perform a detailed visual and tactile inspection. This includes:

  • Identifying rug type and origin
  • Documenting prior repairs or damage with photographs
  • Evaluating fiber strength
  • Photographing the rug for baseline condition

We share this report with you before cleaning begins. Transparency matters.

Dye & pH Testing

We test each rug’s colorfastness and pH balance to ensure a safe cleaning process. Rugs with unstable dyes or delicate silks are given specialized treatment. Our high-intensity and Xenon lighting inspection also reveals:

  • Pet accidents
  • Insect activity
  • Embedded contaminants

Dust & Dry Soil Removal

Your rug holds pounds of embedded dirt and allergens. Vacuuming only removes about 15% of dry soils. We use professional dusting equipment to extract:

  • Sand and grit at the base
  • Allergens trapped in fibers such as dust mites and pollen
  • Hair, dander, and debris

This essential step protects your rug from long-term fiber damage.

Customized Cleaning Methods

No two rugs are alike—neither are our methods. Depending on your rug’s needs, we may use:

  • Full Immersion Hand-Washing – Traditional and thorough
  • Low Moisture Cleaning – For delicate silks or aged rugs
  • Dry Cleaning Methods – When water is a no-go

Each cleaning includes gentle shampoos tailored to your rug’s fiber type.

Power Rinse & Centrifuge Water Removal

After cleaning, rugs are thoroughly pH conditioned rinsed to remove all soap residues and contaminants. Then, they go through our centrifugal wringer, which removes up to 95% of moisture without stress or stretching.

Hanging & Controlled Drying

We hang each rug in a climate-controlled drying room to prevent mold, dye migration, and warping. Rugs are:

  • Monitored hourly
  • Kept at ideal humidity levels
  • Never dried on the floor or under harsh heat

Finishing Touches

  • Final vacuuming
  • The rug nap is set into position
  • Allergen-free deodorizer is applied
  • Final inspection takes place
  • The rug is rolled and placed into a protective sleeve

Craftsmanship and Decades of Expertise

Our clients don’t come to us for “just a cleaning.” They trust our mastery.

Since 2007, Oriental Rug Salon has cleaned, restored, and appraised thousands of Oriental and Persian rugs. These include:

  • Antique Kashan, Heriz, and Tabriz
  • Tribal Gabbeh, Baluchi, Turkmen, and Navajo
  • Modern silk-blend designer pieces
  • Viscose, Art Silk, and other designer pieces

And we do so with quiet precision, not flashy gimmicks.
