Afghan Rugs: Beauty, Craftsmanship & Professional Care
Afghan rugs are among the most treasured floor coverings in the world, and it is easy to understand why so many homes in Cobham and the surrounding Surrey area feature them as centrepieces.
Rug weaving in Afghanistan is an ancient tradition, with the craft probably existing for thousands of years. The main material used is wool — a natural fibre obtained from sheep that has been prized for centuries for its durability and its ability to hold rich, vibrant colours.
Distinctive Style & Design
The patterns on Afghan rugs are typically geometric in nature and often include tribal motifs, with the most commonly used colours being red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. One of their most notable features is their use of bold and contrasting colours, which gives them their characteristic look.
Some of the most famous types include Khal Mohammadi rugs, which feature deep red or burgundy backgrounds with geometric patterns in black or dark blue; Baluch rugs, known for their dark, earthy tones and intricate tribal motifs; and Herati rugs, which feature a repeated diamond-shaped pattern with a central floral medallion.
Built to Last — But They Still Need Care
The quality of an Afghan rug is determined by its knots per square inch — the higher the knot count, the higher the quality and the more durable the rug. That said, even the most robust Afghan rug will accumulate dust, dirt, and allergens over time, and improper cleaning can cause irreversible damage to the wool fibres and natural dyes.
If you own an Afghan rug in Cobham, Esher, Oxshott, or the wider Surrey area, professional specialist cleaning is the safest way to preserve its beauty and value. Our rug cleaning service is tailored to the specific needs of hand-knotted wool rugs, ensuring your Afghan piece is cleaned thoroughly and sympathetically — protecting its colours, pile, and structure for years to come.

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.
