A Persian rug is an oriental rug made in Iran, and many Brisbane homes have one in the lounge, dining room or hallway. Some were bought new, while others were handed down or picked up at auction years ago. Names such as Tabriz, Kashan, Heriz and Isfahan describe the town or region where a rug was woven, and each style has its own wool, knot density and dyes. We take bookings for Persian rug cleaning in Brisbane and book a nearby independent rug crew for the job.
The crew we book collects the rug and checks it closely before washing. They look at the wool, the foundation and the dyes, and note any worn areas, old stains or colour touch-ups. Fine city rugs with a short pile need a lighter hand than a thick village rug, so the wash is adjusted to suit.
- Pickup from your home and return once dry
- Dusting to remove grit packed into the base
- Dye testing before any wet cleaning
- Hand washing with gentle wool shampoo
- Slow drying and grooming of the pile
Persian rugs are often washed less often than they should be, because owners worry about damage. In practice, a gentle wash every few years does far less harm than letting grit and spills build up. The crew will tell you on collection if a rug has weak spots or dyes that may move, so you can decide how to proceed.
If your Persian rug in Brisbane needs a wash, call 07 3778 2608 with its size and where it is from, if you have that. We will give you upfront pricing and book a pickup time.
