Caucasian Rugs
Caucasian rugs are among the most collectable of all handmade rugs, prized for their bold geometric patterns, rich jewel-tone colours and sturdy wool construction. Woven across the Caucasus region — spanning areas historically linked to Kazak, Shirvan, Karabagh, Kuba and Gendje — these rugs typically feature angular medallions, stylised animal and plant motifs, and a coarser, hard-wearing weave than their Persian or Turkish cousins. Many antique examples now command significant value, which makes proper cleaning and care essential to preserving both their appearance and their worth.
We regularly collect Caucasian rugs from homes across Guildford, Merrow, Shalford, Burpham and the wider GU postcode area for specialist cleaning at our Camberley workshop.
What Makes Caucasian Rugs Different
Caucasian rugs are almost always woven with a coarse, symmetrical knot and a robust wool pile, which gives them exceptional durability but also means dirt and grit can become deeply embedded within the foundation. Their vivid vegetable-dyed colours — deep reds, indigos, ivories and warm ochres — are generally stable, though older or unstable dyes can bleed if the wrong cleaning method is used. This is precisely why we avoid generic carpet-cleaning approaches and assess every rug individually before treatment.
Our Caucasian Rug Cleaning Process
- Inspection and dye testing — we examine the weave, foundation and pile condition, and test colourfastness before any wet cleaning begins.
- Dry soil removal — thorough dusting and vacuuming from both sides to remove deeply embedded grit that ordinary vacuuming misses.
- Hand washing — a gentle, pH-balanced wash by hand, using methods suited to the rug’s specific wool and dye characteristics.
- Rinsing — thorough rinsing to remove all cleaning residue, which helps prevent rapid re-soiling.
- Controlled drying — rugs are dried flat and evenly in a controlled environment to prevent shrinkage, cockling or colour run.
- Finishing — grooming of the pile and a final quality inspection before the rug is returned to you.

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.
