Cleaning & Restoration


Oriental rugs need to be cleaned regularly to maintain their beauty and charm. Proper cleaning enables them to last a lifetime. Our family has been in the business for generations, and we take pride in the professional care we give each rug during our hand cleaning and restoration process.


We take great care in cleaning and restoring each rug that is given to us to ensure that you will be nothing less than fully satisfied with our work. We begin by running each rug through a diluted white vinegar bath in order to stabilize any dyes that may run when they come in contact with water. We then shampoo your rug using oil-based natural soaps to restore the shine and luster to your rug. Over time, wool tends to dry out and needs to be moisturized, much like your skin. When wool dries out, it becomes brittle which can lead to the faster wear and tear of your rug. Our cleaning process removes excess dirt from your rug and restores the oils and lanolin back to the wool which will leave it looking brighter, feeling softer, and lasting longer. We use no chemicals in the cleaning process of your delicate and beautiful rugs; only natural, chemical-free soaps.
