Oriental Rug Cleaning

We use a wet immersion process to clean oriental rugs. This is the oldest and in our opinion the best method for thoroughly cleaning a wool rug. We have been cleaning rugs since the the 1930s. The cleaning plant is in our store. If you would like a tour, please ask!

Here is a summary of the steps we follow:

€ Complete inspection
€ Dye Bleed Testing
€ Dusting
€ Dye Lock treatment if necessary
€ Wash
€ Rinse
€ Dry
€ Detail fringes
€ Post inspection

It will take approximately two weeks to clean an oriental rug. Most of this time is for drying and cleaning of the fringe. Please, call Zack Blazer at 814-238-2732 with any questions.

How often a rug needs to be cleaned depends on how it is used. This answer would be different for a highly trafficked entryway than for a formal dinning room. We would be happy to discuss the condition of your rug.
