Cleanability
While initially you may be drawn by the beauty of a wool oriental rug, once you understand the low maintenance requirements (in time and money), you fall in love all over again. The scaly outer coating of woll fiber natuarlly holds dirt high in the pile. this property enables wool carpet to release dirt easily and quickly when vacuumed.
Water Repellency
Since most carpet stains are water caused, you'll apprecieate the fact that each wool fiber is covered by a thin membrane which is highly water repellant. Spills can be easily mopped up with a sponge rather than being absorbed. And wool's naturally high moisture content reduces static electricity and shock.
Only Wool
Only wool carpet assures you of the unique qualities found in every tuft of this special, natural fiber. By looking up the woolmark you can determine if your oriental rug is 100% pure wool that has bet certain standards of quality and performance. Tests include strength, color fastness and level of workmanship.
Our 9 Steps for Rug Cleaning

We use a variety of techniques to "dust" rugs from the front and back.
Step 3: Pre-Condition
Depending on fiber content and soiling type, the rug will be pre-treated to emulsify the soils.

Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringe is also pre-treated for maximum soil removal.

Most rugs are cleaned with an Oriental Rug Shampoo that is especially designed to get maximum cleaning while protecting sensitive natural fibers.
Step 6: Rinse or Wash
Depending on the type of rug it will be rinsed with extraction equipment on both sides or washed in a wash pit designed especially for Oriental Rugs.
Step 7: Speed Dry
Once the soil is rinsed away, the rug is dried flat or hung to dry in a controlled environment.
Step 8: Finishing
When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft groomers made for specialty rugs.

Our cleaning specialist will give the rug a final inspection and release it for pick up or delivery. Your rug will be wrapped in brown craft paper to protect it from dust and environmental soils until it is picked up or delivered. Upon delivery we will lay the rug for you.
