Antique rug cleaning
- Your rugs will be thoroughly inspected prior to any cleaning and/or repair work being carried out.
- Dyes will be assessed for stability and rug will be checked for signs of any existing damages.
- The most significant step of our rug cleaning process is using a vibrating brush; we will remove any deep built-in dust and sand from the pile of the rug.
- Submerged washing takes place using a pH neutral specialised shampoo for rug cleaning. It is very important to use correct shampoo as dyes are sensitive to acid or alcaline solutions
- Your rug then will be rinsed, excess water wil be extracted and left to dry naturally.
- Only after your rug is completely dry will it be dusted again to remove any remaining grit that has been loosened as a result of the rug cleaning process.
- Finally your rug will be brushed up and inspected prior to delivery.

Rediscover the Beauty of Your Antique Rugs
Antique rugs carry the soul of their makers — every knot tells a story. But over time, dust, dirt, and pollution can dull their colours and weaken their fibres.
Our hand-cleaning process uses gentle, traditional methods passed down through generations. We don’t use harsh chemicals or automated washing machines — only pH-balanced solutions, filtered water, and expert care that protect natural dyes and delicate materials.
Our Professional Antique Rug Cleaning Process
- Assessment & Testing – We analyse the rug’s age, fibre type, and dyes to determine the safest cleaning method.
- Dust Removal – Compressed air and soft beating gently remove years of compacted dust and grit.
- Hand Washing – Using wool-safe and silk-safe shampoos, each rug is washed by hand with soft brushes.
- Rinsing & Drying – Thorough rinsing removes all residue. Rugs are air-dried flat to preserve their shape.
- Finishing & Inspection – We brush the pile, align fringes, and inspect each rug under natural light before delivery.
Every rug is documented and handled exclusively by our trained in-house specialists.

Why Professional Rug Cleaning Matters
Over time, grit and dust particles cut into the foundation of your rug, weakening fibres and fading dyes. DIY cleaning can cause colour bleeding, shrinkage, or damage.
