Rug Cleaning

Oriental, Indian, and Persian rugs are not just floor coverings; they are heirlooms that require maintenance to ensure they last multiple generations. Regular cleanings will revitalize the rug while also prolonging its lifespan. Al Sahara has cleaners on staff in Chicago with decades of experience working with very valuable rugs of any material. 

How often should rugs be professionally cleaned?

While the frequency of these cleanings can vary depending on factors such as foot traffic and exposure to dust and debris, a good general rule is to have your oriental rug professionally cleaned every one to three years.

It will help remove dirt and allergens that can accumulate over time.

This is followed by a careful inspection of the rug to identify any stains or areas that require special treatment.

Washing with our special cleaning solution

The next step is to use a gentle cleaning solution that is specially formulated for handmade rugs. The solution is applied using a soft bristle brush to ensure that the fibers are not damaged. Once the solution has been applied, the rug is rinsed thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt or soap residue.

Drying in a temperature-controlled room​

Finally, the rug is carefully dried to prevent any damage to the fibers. By following this process, professional rug cleaners can ensure that your handmade Indian rug is cleaned thoroughly and safely.
