Persian Rug Cleaning Service NYC
Persian rug cleaning starts at $79 in NYC. We hand-wash every rug with 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions that are completely dye-safe, no color bleeding, no fiber breakdown, no chemical smell left behind. Hand-knotted, silk, wool, antique, and tribal Persian rugs all cleaned in our facility, then returned to your door across all five boroughs. Free pickup and delivery included.
Why Persian Rug Cleaning Is Not the Same as Regular Rug Cleaning
A Persian rug is not a piece of carpet you can throw in a machine. The dyes are old. The wool is hand-spun. The knots are tied by people, sometimes 50 years ago, sometimes 150. We treat every rug like it belongs in a museum, because honestly, some of them should. Our wash process for Persian rugs is built around protecting the things that make these rugs worth keeping in the first place. If you want a deeper look at our broader approach, our rug cleaning page covers the full method.
Old Dyes Bleed if You Use the Wrong Soap
Most cleaners use harsh detergents. On a Persian, that pulls red into white in minutes. We test every dye first, then wash cold with plant-based soap.
Hand-Knotted Wool Needs Hand Washing
Truck-mounted steam machines crush hand-knotted wool. We wash by hand in flat tubs, the same way these rugs were cleaned in Iran for centuries.
Foundation Threads Are Cotton or Silk
The base of your rug is fragile. Wet it wrong and the foundation rots. We control water temperature, soak time, and pH so the base stays strong.
Fringe Damage Is Permanent
Fringes are not decoration. They are the actual ends of the warp threads. Lose them and the rug unravels. We hand-clean fringes with a soft brush, never a machine.

How We Clean Persian Rugs in Our Brooklyn Facility
We pick up your rug, bring it to our shop, and walk it through a full hand-wash. No shortcuts. Every rug gets the same care whether it is a $500 piece or a $50,000 antique. Want a closer look at how we handle older pieces? Read about our antique rug cleaning process.
Dust Removal First
We beat the rug to pull out years of trapped dust. A clean wash needs a dry rug first.
Color Bleed Test
Every dye gets a small spot test. If a color is unstable, we treat it before water touches the rug.
Cold Water Hand Wash
We use cold water and organic soap, gently worked through with soft brushes by hand.
Fringe and Edge Detail
Fringes are washed separately by hand. We straighten them so they dry flat, not curled.
Controlled Drying
Rugs dry flat in a temperature-controlled room. No sun, no heat guns, no shrinking.
Final Inspection and Wrap
Every rug is checked under bright light, brushed out, and wrapped in breathable paper for delivery back to you.

Our 8-Step Persian Rug Wash Process
Every rug walks through the same eight stops in our shop. No skipping. No rushing. This is how we keep dyes locked in and wool soft.
Step 1
In-Home Inspection
We come to you, look at the rug, identify the type and age, and quote on the spot.
Step 2
Photo Documentation
Every rug gets photographed before it leaves your home. Your record, our record.
Step 3
Dust Beating
We use a vibration duster to shake out dirt that vacuums never reach.
Step 4
Dye Stability Test
A small wet patch on each color tells us if any dye plans to run.
Step 5
Cold Hand Wash
Plant-based soap, soft brushes, cold water. Worked through by hand, slowly.
Step 6
Triple Rinse
Three full rinses pull out every drop of soap. No residue means no fast re-soiling.
Step 7
Flat Drying
Rugs dry flat in our climate-controlled room. No sun damage, no shrinkage.
Step 8
Grooming and Wrap
Final brush-out, fringe straightening, breathable wrap, then back to your door.
