Rug Care West End

Oriental Rug Spa offer a specialist Persian, Oriental and Contemporary rug cleaning in West End.  We also offer a rug repair service.  If you own 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.

Antique Persian Qashgai

Antique Persian Qashgai

The Quashgai is a group of tribes of the Fars province, situated in southwest Iran.  The group was formed in the eighteenth century, most of which are of Turkmen origin. Many Quashgai weavers have now settled in villages or towns to produce their weavings.  The older pieces tend to be more tightly woven than more recent productions, also using woollen warps as opposed to cotton.  This is due to market pressure demanding a more reasonably priced piece.  The knot count is typically between 70 and 170 kpsi, and more often than not the rugs will be woven completely from wool.  The side cords (selvage) are usually finshed with a very distinctive barber pole stripe.  Medallions are commonly used as the central part of the design surrounded by geometric characters in the shape of leaves, human figure, animals and birds.

As with all hand knotted and machine made rugs, cleaning should never be attempted in the home using detergent based solutions which could compromise the dyes.  Professional cleaning would be recommended to prolong the life and maintain the appearance of these wonderful pieces of floor art.

If you have a machine made rug that would benefit from a spa treatment, then why not give us a call on 01276 423 150 to get a quote and advice.
