Behnam Rugs specializes in Oriental rug cleaning for all kinds of handmade area rugs. Oriental rug cleaning is not just for Oriental rugs, any rug will benefit from this cleaning method. We handle each rug with the utmost care. Our techniques for Oriental rug cleaning were passed down over generations. We assess each rug cleaning on a one-on-one basis.
We use the same hand-washing-techniques as were used and perfected in old Persia. Our method of cleaning rugs comes from a special technique that has been documented in the Persian history of rug making & rug washing, and is the best way to clean fine rugs. Our organic shampoos are specially formulated to ensure proper pH balance and lather. These shampoos are safe for silks and antiques. For questions please call us at (972) 733-0400.
ORIENTAL RUG INSPECTION PROCESS
Once customers bring in their valuable Oriental rugs for cleaning, we inspect them thoroughly. Each rug is unique. Every Oriental rug is made of beautifully woven fibers and the most common fibers are natural silk, wool, and cotton. Natural silk is made from the silkworm. Today, many rug manufacturers use viscose-rayon-silk. This artificial silk is delicate and not as durable as other materials although it is inexpensive.
Our experts will explain the fibers and construction of your rug during the inspection process. If the rug has no damage, we schedule hand washing as well as an enzyme wash for pet odor removal if needed. If the rug shows some wear and tear we will suggest first repairing the damaged area, then conducting professonal hand washing.
ORIENTAL RUG CLEANING PROCESS
Once the Oriental rug is inspected and tagged, we schedule cleaning. We use ancient techniques with organic shampoos. Behnam Rugs does not use harsh over-the-counter shampoos, we only use organic rug shampoo to prevent damage to the natural dyes in wool, silk, cotton, and other fibers. After the rug washing process, we thoroughly dry your rug without the use of heat or machinery to preserve it. Learn more about each step of our 10-Step Rug Washing Process here.
