Gentle Deep-Cleaning for Kilims, Dhurries and other flatweave rugs
Flatweave rugs like Kilims, Dhurries, Soumaks and others, have a tendency to display beautiful, graphic design choices, a bold or subtle cultural statement, and their construction is always thin.

Our professional cleaning experts use eco-friendly, low-impact procedures which allow us to remove dirt, dust, allergens, odors, and anything else from your rugs, while also preventing disfiguration of shape or fading of color.
Our Flatweave Rug Cleaning Process
We have developed a systematic and detailed route to enable us to make sure your flatweave rug is thoroughly cleaned while keeping its structure and aesthetics intact:
1. Pre-Inspection
We will inspect the rug for weaving technique, dye stability, damages and soiling levels, if there are antique features or delicate edge finishes we may create a specific cleaning plan for your rug.
2. Dust & Dirt Removal
This is the most fundamental step. We will use compressed air or using light vacuum type machines to remove all to embedded dust and dry soil out of both sides of the rug. Most of the wear of the rug begins with trapped grit, if we remove dust and dirt – we will prevent ongoing damage.
3. Chromatic Testing
We test for dye-fastness to avoid fade and bleed during the washing. If necessary, dye stabilizer will be applied to bright patterns and tribal related tones.
4. Controlled Cleaning
The rug is cleaned with a low moisture, pH balanced solution, with soft brushes & tools designed for flat woven. We do not soak or oversaturate the rug, as this can cause puckering and shrinkage.
5. Rinsing and Grooming
After the rinsing processed gently, we lay out the rug flat to dry. We will often flip the rug to promote drying of the rug on both sides uniformly. It’s paramount for us to keep the rug’s shape and alignment throughout the process.
6. Finishing Touches
Once cleaned, all fibers are brushed, edges smooth, and cosmetic repairs if applicable. Overall, we hope to return your rug when it’s as fresh, flat, and bright as possible to liven up your interior again.
