Oriental, Persian and handmade rugs are usually made from natural wool or silk with dyes that can react to water and harsh detergents. Cleaning them like an ordinary carpet can fade the colours, shrink the fibres, or damage the edges. These valuable pieces need specialist care.
How Clean Spot Cleans Oriental Rugs
- Initial inspection: identify the fibre type and test the dyes for colourfastness before starting.
- Dry dust removal: gently extract deep dust without stressing the fibres.
- Gentle washing: mild detergents made for wool and silk at the right water temperature.
- Controlled flat drying: drying that preserves the rug's shape and prevents shrinkage.
Warning: cleaning a Persian rug with hot steam machines or strong household cleaners can damage it permanently. Always consult a specialist for valuable pieces.
Caring for Your Rugs Between Cleans
- Rotate the rug every few months to spread wear
- Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight
- Treat spills immediately by blotting — never rubbing
- Deep clean every 12–18 months
