๐งผ Rug Washing Services
Our professional hand-washing process eliminates residues, allergens, dirt, stains, soil & toxic substances โ ensuring your rug stays cleaner and healthier for you and your family. Professional rug cleaning is recommended every 2-3 years.
- Stain & Odor Removal โ Your rug returns fresh and free of all odors. *Pet stains may become permanent if not treated right away.
- Inspection & Dye Bleed Testing โ We measure your rug and inspect dyes for bleeding, identifying pre-existing damage and providing repair estimates.
- Rug Dusting โ We dust front and back to remove settled dust, sand, and grit that can cause premature wear.
- Soaking & Hand-Washing โ We soak with clean cold water and non-toxic shampoo, gently hand washing in the direction of the pile.
- Thorough Rinsing โ We rinse and squeegee front and back to remove all shampoo, contaminants, and particles.
- Water Extraction & Drying โ Remaining water is extracted and the rug carefully hung to dry in a temperature-controlled room.
- Fringe Cleaning & Maintenance โ We hand-brush fringe after washing and never use bleach, which can break fibers.
- Pickup or Free Delivery โ We'll notify you for pickup or schedule a free delivery and place your rug where you desire.
๐งต Rug Repair Services

๐ก Keep Your Rug Clean Between Services
Dirt is the worst enemy of fine hand-knotted rugs. Since it is abrasive, it can cut off fibers from the pile. Our recommendations:
- Vacuum your rug at least weekly with an agitator or beater bar that lightly beats the surface.
- Have your fine rug professionally cleaned every few years to remove collected dirt, restore colors, and rehydrate fibers.
- Classic World Oriental Rugs specializes in cleaning and repairing fine rugs.
