Oriental and Persian Rugs and Carpet Cleaners Do NOT Get Along…
NEVER allow a carpet cleaning company to “clean” your Oriental rug…
Hand-knotted Oriental rugs are highly sought after additions to any home. Many of these rugs are unique and handmade, making them one-of-a-kind accents to your homes décor. Oriental rugs can last for generations with proper care and upkeep and many increase in value over time.
Never allow a carpet cleaning company the opportunity to “clean” your beautiful Oriental rug because, in most instances, they are not certified and do not have the facilities to properly care for them. Take pride in your investment by choosing a professional and certified Oriental rug cleaner such as Oriental Rug Salon of SW Florida.

Most Oriental rugs are hand-knotted
One of the most common reasons people choose Oriental Rugs over other types of rugs or flooring is because of their beauty and the craftsmanship that went into making them. Since hand-knotted area rugs are handmade, they require specialized cleaning methods to make certain they retain their beauty for years to come.
Our Oriental rug cleaning specialists have the expertise and certification, along with the equipment to properly clean and preserve Oriental rugs. Many Oriental rugs take months or even years to weave and come at a higher cost than other types of area rugs because of the love and dedication put into making them. Protect your investment by hiring an expert in Oriental rug restoration and cleaning.
Woven fibers are not easily cleaned on the surface
Hand-knotted rugs feature fibers that are woven together. Steam cleaning the surface does not adequately clean the entire rug. Many Oriental rugs are made of thick wool that will trap dirt and debris under the surface. In addition, hand-knotted rugs have “weft and warp” foundations which trap dirt, sand and other contaminants that vacuum cleaners simply cannot remove. Rug-cleaning methods, such as steam cleaning, only focus on the surface. These methods will not be able to clean the dirt that is trapped under the surface and an Oriental rug should never be cleaned in your home.
Even though Oriental rugs are made to last and can be quite durable, home cleaning methods may be too aggressive. Many people keep area rugs and floors clean by vacuuming. Vacuums with beater bars are too aggressive for hand-woven oriental rugs. Even on the lowest of settings they can pull apart the fabrics and tear your rug.
For a thoroughly exhaustive rug cleaning, your area rug should be dusted with specialized equipment and then fully submerged in the appropriate bath. Your rug should be washed on both sides and then pH conditioned rinsed and deodorized. Anything less is nothing more than a surface clean.
