Turkish Rugs: Expert Cleaning in Egham & Surrey
Turkish rugs are among the most prized floor coverings in the world, woven across centuries in regions such as Anatolia, Cappadocia, and the Aegean coast. Their distinctive geometric patterns, bold colours, and exceptional durability have made them a popular choice in Surrey homes — and a fabric that rewards proper care.
What makes Turkish rugs unique?
Unlike Persian rugs, which typically use an asymmetrical (Persian) knot, Turkish rugs are traditionally woven with a symmetrical (Ghiordes) knot. This technique produces a denser, more upright pile that stands up well to foot traffic — one reason antique Turkish kilims and Hereke pieces retain their appeal for generations.
Most Turkish rugs are made from wool, cotton, or silk, or a blend of all three. Hereke rugs, arguably Turkey’s finest, often feature silk warps with intricate medallion designs. Village rugs from regions such as Bergama or Konya tend to be more rustic, with tribal motifs and naturally dyed wool.
Why Turkish rugs need specialist cleaning
Despite their robustness, Turkish rugs are vulnerable to damage when cleaned incorrectly. The natural fibres — particularly wool and silk — can shrink, bleed, or distort if exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Geometric pile patterns can flatten unevenly under standard steam cleaning, and dye migration is a real risk with older pieces if water temperature or pH is not carefully controlled.
At Oriental Rug Spa, we clean Turkish rugs using a gentle hand-wash process tailored to the specific fibre content and dye type of each piece. Our Egham facility allows us to clean, rinse, and dry rugs in controlled conditions — preserving the pile, protecting the dyes, and restoring the lustre that makes a Turkish rug so striking.

Extremely pleased with the result and would happily use them again.
They were 19 years old and a little flat and slightly stained.
They came back totally renewed. The pile was lifted and
colours restored. I would recommend this Rug Spa.
It was returned within the promised time frame and it is now back in position looking and feeling very much better.
Your service was excellent from start to finish the rug was beautifully clean, the pile was totally revitalised and it smelt so fresh again after my Border Terrier had a little accident on it! I would highly recommend your service from my experience.
