Persian Rug Cleaning

This is where your friends at Kennedy Carpet come in. We have professional cleaners who are knowledgeable in the care and cleaning of Persian Rugs. Most commonly made from either wool or silk, Persian rugs have some distinct nuances when it comes to cleaning them. While most wool Persian rugs require less maintenance than other decorative carpets, special considerations must be given to those made out of silk.

Wool Persian Rugs

The tight weave used to create such rugs means that they require minimal maintenance in terms of cleaning. An electric sweeper and light detergent are usually all that is needed to keep these rugs nice and clean.

However, there are some extreme cases where stains and spills can cause problems once the liquids start seeping into the fibers. It is important to remove all moisture from the rug, which needs a specialized vacuum that can thoroughly extract the humidity from its fibers.

Silk Persian Rugs

Due to its more delicate nature, silk rugs require careful preparation so as not to damage it during the cleaning process. Our experts have specialized spot removal kits that can address any cleaning or restoration work on these rugs. Careful consideration is also placed into the type of cleaning detergents and solutions used since heavy application of chemicals can permanently harm the fibers.
