Your Persian carpet needs a different approach
Persian carpets are woven mainly from wool, silk or a blend of both, and dyed with natural or aged pigments that can bleed when wet. The fine dust settles deep between the knotted threads and into the foundation, and its effect only becomes clear over time as the colours dull and the smell grows stronger.
Tell us your district, the size of your carpet and what you have noticed, whether that is fading colour, an unpleasant smell or an old mark, and we agree a time. Call or message us on WhatsApp and we take care of the rest.

What does Persian carpet cleaning cover?
These are the stages a Persian carpet goes through during cleaning, depending on its condition, the type of thread and the dye used.
- Thread and dye check
Before any water is applied, the carpet is checked to identify the thread type and how stable the dye is, because old natural dyes can be affected by water if the wrong method is used.
- Dust removal from the foundation
Fine dust settles in the carpet's foundation between the knots, and thorough shaking before wetting stops it turning into a mud that is difficult to remove afterwards.
- Washing face and back
The face carries the pattern and the visible pile, while the back reveals the condition of the knots and the foundation threads, and both are washed to clear what has settled into each layer.
- Full rinse and residue removal
A full rinse is needed to flush out any dissolved dirt, because residue that dries inside the threads attracts dust again and speeds up re-soiling.
- Flat air drying
A Persian carpet is dried flat, not hung, because the weight of wet threads can stretch or distort the shape if the carpet is hung while still full of water.
- Colour check after drying
Once fully dry, the colours and the edges are checked, because the woven borders are the first place any dye change shows, and this is the final check before the carpet is returned.
How do we start?
Three simple steps, and we take care of the rest.

We agree a time and you prepare
We settle on a time that suits you, and you roll the carpet flat rather than folding it, to avoid creasing or breaking the threads.
We work and you check the result
We handle the washing and drying, then you check the carpet once it is fully dry to confirm the colours are stable, the edges lie flat and there is no remaining smell.

One worry is that the colours will bleed during washing. This is understandable, because Persian carpets are sometimes dyed with natural pigments that are sensitive to hot water or certain materials. That is why the work always begins with a dye stability check before any water is applied, and we take care of everything after that.

Questions about Persian carpet cleaning
How do I know my Persian carpet needs washing and not just dry cleaning?
If the colours look dull despite regular vacuuming, a smell persists even with ventilation, or you feel grit in the foundation when you press the carpet with your hand, then dust has settled deep between the threads and only a full wash will clear it.
Does wool hold up to water washing?
Wool absorbs water and expands when wet, so it must not be washed in hot water or hung while heavy with moisture. A wool carpet is dried flat in well-circulating air, which is what keeps its shape and size once it dries.
What should I prepare before you collect the Persian carpet?
Roll the carpet flat without sharp folds, and move any furniture that sits on it. If there is a mark in a specific spot, let us know in advance so it is taken into account during the work.
What affects the price of cleaning a Persian carpet?
The price depends on the size of the carpet, the type of thread whether wool, silk or a blend, its condition in terms of how much dirt has built up or whether there are old marks, and how easy it is to reach in its location. The details become clear when you call and describe the carpet.
After washing, my carpet's colours look slightly different, is that normal?
Yes, colours often look brighter once the layer of accumulated dust that was covering them is removed, and this surprises many people. But if one colour looks clearly lighter than before, that may be a sign of dye bleed, which is checked both before washing and again after drying.
