Oriental Rug Cleaning in Guildford
What Makes an Oriental Rug Special
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted textiles originating from regions across Asia and the Middle East, including Persia, Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Each rug tells a story through its knot density, wool or silk pile, natural dyes, and regional motifs passed down through generations of weavers. Unlike machine-made carpets, an Oriental rug can take months to complete by hand, making every piece genuinely one of a kind.
These rugs are prized not just for their beauty but for their durability. However, that same craftsmanship means they require specialist cleaning methods rather than standard carpet care.
Why Guildford Homeowners Choose Specialist Cleaning
Guildford’s period properties and characterful homes are often furnished with treasured Oriental rugs, whether inherited pieces or considered investments. Local water hardness, underfloor heating, and everyday foot traffic can all affect how these rugs age. Without proper care, natural fibres can become brittle, colours can fade unevenly, and moth damage can take hold unnoticed.
Our Approach
At Oriental Rug Spa, we assess each rug individually before cleaning — checking fibre type, dye stability, foundation condition, and any areas of wear or damage. We use gentle, rug-appropriate methods rather than the high-pressure steam cleaning used on fitted carpets, which can damage delicate wool and silk piles.
Our process typically includes:
- Dust extraction to remove deep-seated grit before wet cleaning
- Colour-fastness testing
- Hand washing suited to the rug’s fibre and construction
- Careful, controlled drying
- Moth treatment where needed
Collection and Delivery Across Guildford
We offer free collection and delivery throughout Guildford and the surrounding villages, making the process straightforward whether you have a small hallway runner or a large formal dining room rug.

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.
