We offer specialist cleaning for handmade rugs using traditional, gentle methods tailored to natural fibres and dyes.
1. Inspection
We examine each rug’s material, dyes, and condition to plan the safest and most effective cleaning method.
2. Dust Removal
Deep dusting removes trapped dirt and grit from the fibres – essential before washing.
3. Dye Testing
Colours are tested for stability to prevent bleeding. Stabilisers are applied if needed.
4. Pre-Treatment
Stains and odours (e.g. pet or mildew) are spot-treated using safe, non-toxic solutions.
5. Hand Washing
Rugs are washed by hand using pH-balanced shampoos suitable for wool or silk.
6. Rinsing & Water Extraction
Thorough rinsing removes all residues, followed by gentle water extraction to preserve shape.
7. Flat Drying
Rugs are dried flat in a controlled environment to avoid shrinkage or fading.
8. Grooming & Final Check
The rug undergoes a final inspection before return.
