Fast action helps after water damage
A water damaged rug can change quickly if dampness sits in the pile and foundation for too long. Smells, colour movement, fibre deterioration and mould can all become harder to manage when the rug is left to dry badly at home. At Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, we handle water affected Persian, Oriental, silk and antique rugs with the careful treatment valuable textiles need. For homeowners in Reading, our free collection and return makes it easier to get prompt help without wrestling with a wet, heavy rug. Cleaning takes place at our dedicated facility, where we can assess the damage, wash where suitable and manage drying properly.
Controlled drying is a key part of recovery
With Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, the aim is not only to clean the visible surface but also to reduce the risks that come after water exposure. Thorough treatment and proper drying with air movers and dehumidifiers can help lower the chance of stale odours, mould, mildew, fringe yellowing and colour problems. Our accreditations include The Woolsafe Organisation, TrustMark and The Association of Rug Care Specialists, giving you extra confidence in the care of valuable wool and silk rugs. Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning works by appointment, so each rug can be handled with individual attention from collection to return.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if a rug gets wet?
Move it away from the source if you safely can, avoid folding it while soaked and contact us as soon as possible. The sooner a valuable rug is assessed, the better the chance of reducing odours, mould risk and dye related problems caused by slow or uneven drying.
Can older water damage still be improved?
In many cases, yes, although the outcome depends on how long the dampness has been present and what changes have already taken hold. We can assess staining, odour, mildew risk and general condition, then explain the likely route and what level of improvement is realistic.
Why do you clean water damaged rugs off site?
Off-site cleaning gives us more control over washing and drying than a room based process can provide. That matters for water damaged rugs because trapped moisture, unstable dyes and deep contamination often need a more thorough response than surface cleaning alone.
