Persian Nain Medallion

Rug Care Services Ascot - Oriental Rug Spa offer a specialist Persian, Oriental and Contemporary rug cleaning and rug repair service, covering Ascot, Berkshire.  If you live in Ascot and have a dirty or soiled rug that needs professional cleaning, then why not give us a call on 01276 423150.  You can drop the rug into our wash facility or arrange a time for us to collect from you.

The rug wash process required can differ from rug to rug, so we offer various methods of rug cleaning, from full immersion washing to dry cleaning.  All rug fibres can be cared for - wool, cotton, silk, viscose, rayon.  We can carry out a pet stain and odour treatment, moth treatment and apply a fibre protection to resist against soiling and staining.  We have extensive experience with cleaning antique rugs and rugs with unstable dyes and offer a rug repair service, including fringes, sides and pile reweaving.

Persian Nain Rugs

The two images show a fantastic, high knot count Persian Nain - rug cleaning that was carried out for a customer in Ascot.  Nain is a city in central Iran, very close to Isfahan.  The city of Nain started out producing Isfahan rugs, and it wasn't until the 1930s when it started to weave its own designs.  Even today, Nain  rugs resemble Isfahan rugs quite closely in design.   Nain carpets and rugs usually have a knot count of about 300 knots per square inch.  The designs are all over floral with incredibly fine, precise detail, woven from a design in a workshop.  The rugs tend to be woven on a cotton foundation with the majority of the pile being wool.  Silk is very often used as a detailing feature, and can make the main field 'sparkle' as it catches the light.

We tend to find on the more recently woven Nain rugs that the dyes (especially reds) can be fugutive.  So we take extra care in the dye testing process and wash the rugs in the appropriate way. The fast drying technique that we use is also extremely important to prevent delayed dye migration.
