Oriental Rugs
“Oriental rug” covers a wide family of hand-made rugs originating from across Asia — Persian, Turkish, Chinese, Tibetan, Central Asian and beyond — each woven using distinct knotting techniques, fibres and dye traditions. Many Walton-on-Thames homes near the river and around Ashley Park hold rugs passed down through families or bought as investment pieces, and these deserve cleaning that respects their construction rather than a one-size-fits-all carpet clean. Oriental Rug Spa’s technicians identify the weave, fibre and origin of each rug before deciding on the right cleaning approach, giving Walton-on-Thames owners genuine specialist care rather than guesswork.
Because Oriental rugs vary so much in construction, a method that suits one style can damage another. A tightly woven Chinese silk rug, for example, needs very different handling to a coarser, hand-woven kilim. Getting this wrong risks shrinkage, colour run, or permanent pile damage — all of which we’re trained to avoid.
Common Oriental Rug Issues We See Locally
- Sun fading along window-facing edges, common in the bright, south-facing reception rooms typical of Walton-on-Thames’s Victorian and Edwardian houses
- Pet hair and dander embedded deep in the pile, which regular vacuuming can’t fully remove
- Watermarks and tide lines from spills or damp, particularly in homes near the Thames prone to occasional humidity
- Wear along traffic lanes in hallways and stair runners, where the foundation threads can start to show through
How We Clean Oriental Rugs
- Identification — we determine the rug’s origin, fibre content and weave structure, as cleaning methods differ significantly between types.
- Colourfastness testing — dyes are tested before any moisture or solution touches the rug.
- Deep dusting — a specialist dusting process removes abrasive grit trapped at the base of the pile.
- Hand-cleaning — the rug is washed by hand with a solution matched to its fibre type, whether wool, silk, cotton or a blend.
- Full rinse — all cleaning agents are rinsed out to prevent residue-related resoiling.
- Careful drying — rugs dry flat under controlled conditions to keep the weave square and prevent colour bleed.
- Final finishing — pile grooming, fringe cleaning and a thorough quality check before the rug is returned.

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.
