Care for delicate dyes
Your rug is treated with its fibre, age and colour stability in mind.
Deep cleaning off-site
Facility cleaning reaches soil that sits far below the visible surface pile.
White glove handling
We lift, roll, collect, return and re-lay rugs with care in your home.
Specialist cleaning for rugs that need more care
Ordinary in-situ carpet cleaning methods are extremely risky and inappropriate for hand knotted or delicate rugs. At Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, we focus on Persian, Oriental, silk, antique and other valuable rugs that need slower, safer, bespoke treatments. From Bradfield, near Reading, we collect rugs from your home, move furniture where needed, then clean them at our dedicated facility, rather than giving them a quick surface pass in-situ. That matters when grit, dust and dander has settled deep into the pile, pet smells keep returning or colours need careful handling. Operating since 1989, we clean by appointment so each rug gets individual attention from the initial inspection through to return.
Why off-site cleaning protects valuable pieces
With Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, each rug is checked for wear, fringe & side cord condition and likely dye sensitivity before cleaning begins. For suitable rugs, deeper washing and full immersion cleaning can remove engrained soil and odours far more thoroughly than vacuuming or spray only methods. Controlled drying with air movers and dehumidifiers helps lower the risk of lingering odours, mould, fringe yellowing and colour movement. Our accreditations include The Woolsafe Organisation, TrustMark and The Association of Rug Care Specialists. At Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning we also return each rug with white glove care.
Frequently asked questions
Do you clean specialist rugs at home?
We always collect specialist rugs and clean them at our dedicated rug wash facility. That gives us more control over dust removal, washing and drying, which is important for valuable rugs, delicate dyes and deep seated soiling that a quick room based clean will leave behind.
Why does off-site cleaning matter for valuable rugs?
Off-site cleaning lets us assess fibre, construction and likely colour sensitivity before choosing the safest cleaning method. It also allows proper dust removal and controlled drying, both of which help protect pile, fringes and finish whilst achieving a much deeper and more thorough clean for your rug.
What types of rugs do you handle?
We focus on valuable rugs such as Persian, Oriental, silk, antique and other handmade pieces. If your rug has stains, odours, pet issues or visible wear, we can talk through the likely approach before collection and explain what information helps us plan the clean.
