Specialist Textile Care

A rug is more than something underfoot.

Rugs collect dust, everyday marks and environmental build-up over time. Different fibres, dyes, construction methods and backing materials all call for a different approach.

Rather than one standard process, each rug is considered on its own terms before any treatment begins.

Rug & Textile Care

Every rug has its own character.

01

Persian & Oriental Rugs

Careful treatment for traditionally patterned and decorative rugs.

02

Wool Rugs

Gentle specialist care appropriate to the characteristics of wool fibres.

03

Delicate & Fine Rugs

Extra consideration for delicate fibres, colour and construction.

04

Modern & Contemporary Rugs

Professional cleaning for suitable modern rugs and textiles.

05

Decorative & Statement Rugs

Care for rugs that form an important part of an interior.

06

Specialist Textile Pieces

Individual assessment for unusual or more complex textile pieces.

Our Approach

Care starts with understanding the rug.

01

Assessment

We consider fibre, construction, colour, backing, condition and any visible areas of concern.

02

Treatment Planning

The appropriate cleaning approach is considered based on the rug's individual characteristics.

03

Specialist Cleaning

The rug is treated carefully using an approach appropriate to its materials and condition.

04

Final Inspection

The rug is checked before finishing and collection or return.

The material matters.

Rugs can differ significantly in fibre, weave, dye, backing, construction, age, previous treatment and overall condition.

Natural Fibres

Natural fibres need considered care.

Suitable rugs made from wool, cotton and other natural textile fibres are common, but natural materials can react differently to moisture, heat, agitation and cleaning methods.

This is part of why each rug is assessed individually before treatment.

Detail of intricate rug pattern, dye and texture
Colour · Pattern · Detail

The details are worth protecting.

Intricate patterns, dyed fibres, decorative borders, fringe and fine construction are all considered as part of assessment — not every rug should be treated in exactly the same way.

It is not just the surface.

Attention may also be needed around the fringe, edges, seams, backing, construction and areas of wear — all part of understanding a rug before treatment.

Some marks need more than a standard clean.

Different stains behave differently, older marks may have penetrated deeper into fibres, and previous cleaning treatments can affect results. Some colour changes may not be fully reversible — treatment depends on the rug's material and condition.

Why Specialist Care

A rug deserves more than a one-size-fits-all clean.

An Honest Approach

Sometimes the safest answer is no.

Not every rug is suitable for every cleaning process. Fragile fibres, unstable dyes, previous damage, weakened backing, age, construction and existing colour changes can all affect what is practical.

The rug can be assessed before recommending the appropriate approach — we won't promise that every rug can be cleaned.

Rug Cleaning FAQs

Questions, answered.

Suitability depends on fibre, construction, dye stability, backing and condition.

These may require careful assessment and specialist handling.

Suitable wool rugs can be considered based on their construction and condition.

Results depend on the type, age and history of the stain and the rug itself.

Delicate or older rugs require individual assessment before treatment.

Cleaning can refresh suitable rugs, but results depend on the starting condition — we won't make a universal guarantee.
