Care that suits valuable Persian rugs
A Persian rug can hold deep grit, dullness, stains and odours long before the pile looks badly soiled. At Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, we treat Persian rugs as valuable textiles rather than ordinary floor coverings, with cleaning planned around fibre type, knotting, dyes and age. In Reading, many homeowners want expert help without dragging a heavy rug out to the car, so our free white glove collection and return keeps the whole process simple. Since 1989, we have worked by appointment and cleaned rugs at a dedicated facility where hand knotted pieces can be assessed and handled with the care they deserve.
A deeper clean with less risk to colour and finish
With Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, suitable Persian rugs can go through a much deeper wash than a surface only clean allows. Thorough dust removal comes first, followed by specialist cleaning and controlled drying with air movers and dehumidifiers. That helps reduce the risk of colour run, fringe yellowing and slow dry odours that can trouble valuable wool and silk blend rugs. Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning also provides optional protection and moth treatment, giving you practical aftercare choices once the main clean is complete.
Frequently asked questions
Can you clean old or heirloom Persian rugs?
Yes, we regularly clean valuable Persian rugs, including older pieces, but we always consider wear, fringe condition and likely dye sensitivity first. That assessment helps us choose the safest cleaning route and set fair expectations before work begins.
Why is controlled drying important for Persian rugs?
Persian rugs can be slow to dry if washed badly or left in the wrong conditions. Controlled drying helps reduce the risk of colour movement, lingering odours, mould and fringe yellowing, while also helping the rug return to your home in a cleaner, fresher state.
Can you help with stains and pet odours on Persian rugs?
Yes, we can address common problems such as spills, everyday soiling and pet odours as part of specialist cleaning. Results depend on the fibre, dyes, age of the problem and any home treatments already used, so photos and background details are always helpful.
