Persian Rug Cleaning in Columbia, SC
Persian rugs are typically knotted with hand-spun wool pile on a cotton or silk foundation, and the dyes are often vegetable-based or early-era synthetic compounds that react unpredictably to heat and harsh chemistry. A cleaning method that works fine on a modern machine-made rug can dissolve the color or weaken the foundation of a genuine Persian piece. We treat Persian rugs as the textile objects they are, not as floor coverings that happen to be fancy.

When to Call
When You Need Persian Rug Cleaning
- A red wine spill soaked into a vintage Persian rug and dried before you caught it
- The wool pile on a family Persian has started to smell sour after years of use in a humid room
- Your Persian rug has been in storage and came out with a flat, dusty, compressed pile
- A guest's dog had an accident on the rug and the odor has not responded to home treatment
How It Works
Our Process for Persian Rug Cleaning
- 1
Structural and Dye Assessment
We examine knot density, foundation condition, and dye stability before deciding what cleaning approach is safe for this specific piece.
- 2
Dry Soil Removal
Decades of embedded dry particulate gets gently beaten and vacuumed from the pile before any moisture is introduced.
- 3
pH-Neutral Hand Wash
We wash in cool water with chemistry matched to the pH range that protects both wool and the specific dye classes present.
- 4
Fringe Treatment and Flat Dry
Fringe is cleaned and straightened separately, then the rug dries completely flat to preserve its original dimensions and prevent rippling.
Columbia Context
Why this matters in Columbia
Columbia's interior design community and longtime residents have a higher concentration of genuine Persian textiles than many similarly sized cities. Local humidity fluctuations stress natural wool and dyes over time, making periodic professional cleaning important for preservation, not just appearance.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Condition, age, and dye type determine what we can and cannot safely do. Some old repairs or previously water-damaged areas create limitations that exist before we ever touch the rug, and we explain those clearly before starting.
