    Why Your Rug Needs Specialized Cleaning

    Oriental and handmade rugs are works of art. Machine washing or standard carpet cleaning methods can cause irreversible damage โ€” bleeding dyes, fiber distortion, and shrinkage.

    Our ARCS-certified technicians use a meticulous hand-washing process tailored to each rug's fiber type, dye stability, and age. This ensures your rug is cleaned thoroughly while preserving its beauty and value for generations.

    Watch: Inside Our Oriental Rug Spa

    Every oriental and Persian rug we clean gets hand-washed at our San Antonio facility on ARCS-certified protocols. Here's a walk-through of the dusting, wash, and controlled drying steps โ€” this is the process your rug goes through from pickup to delivery.

    Watch: Flooding a Rug to Ensure All the Dirt Comes Out

    There's no shortcut to a genuinely clean rug. Watch our team flood and deep-clean an area rug by hand at our San Antonio Rug Spa โ€” flooding the rug lifts embedded dirt out of the fibers so it can be rinsed away, then we control-dry it to protect the dyes and foundation. It's the same hand-wash step every Persian, wool, or silk rug goes through.
