Professional Rug Washing and Rug Repair

A genuine handmade Persian or Oriental rug is built to last generations. But even the most durable, finest quality rug needs professional care from time to time.

Over time, even a well-maintained handmade rug accumulates dust, allergens, dirt and residue that regular vacuuming simply cannot remove. The fibers deep in the pile trap particles that work their way down to the foundation over years of use. A professional wash does not just clean the surface. It cleans the entire rug from pile to foundation, restoring the colors, refreshing the fibers and extending the life of the piece significantly.

This is especially important for genuine handmade Persian and Oriental rugs. These rugs are made from natural wool and silk, which respond beautifully to a proper professional wash but can be permanently damaged by incorrect cleaning methods. Household carpet cleaning machines, steam cleaners and chemical spot treatments are not designed for handmade rugs and can cause shrinkage, color bleeding, fiber damage and distortion of the foundation.

Our professional rug washing process is specifically designed for authentic handmade rugs. We assess each rug individually before washing, identifying its origin, construction, dye type and any areas of sensitivity. We use cleaning methods and solutions appropriate to each specific rug rather than a one-size-fits-all approach that treats every rug the same regardless of what it is made from.

After washing, rugs are carefully dried in a controlled environment to prevent any risk of mold, mildew or fiber distortion. The result is a rug that looks and smells fresh, with colors that often appear noticeably brighter and richer than they did before cleaning.

A damaged Persian or Oriental rug is not a lost cause. In most cases, skilled repair work can restore a rug to a condition that makes the damage virtually invisible, extending its life by decades and preserving its value. The key is acting before damage spreads. A small area of worn pile, a fraying edge, or a moth-damaged section that is repaired early is far less expensive to fix than the same problem left to worsen over time.

At Rugs.net we handle a wide range of repair and restoration work, including:

Handmade rugs are heavy. A large room-size Persian rug can weigh 50 to 80 pounds or more. Rolling it, carrying it downstairs, loading it into a car and transporting it to a facility is a significant undertaking, especially for larger pieces. We have made this as easy as possible.

We offer free pickup directly from your home across a wide range of Long Island communities. Just call us or send us a message, tell us what you need, and we will schedule a convenient time to come to you. No lifting, no loading, no driving required on your end.

Prefer to bring your rug to us directly? You are always welcome to drop off your rug at our warehouse in Freeport. Our team will assess it on the spot, walk you through exactly what it needs, and give you a clear quote before any work begins.

We believe in transparent, straightforward pricing with no hidden fees and no surprises. Here is how our pricing works for both washing and repair.

Rug Washing Pricing

Rug Repair Pricing

Repair pricing depends entirely on what needs to be fixed, the size of the affected area, the complexity of the pattern being rewoven, and the materials required. There is no standard flat rate because no two repair jobs are the same.

What we commit to is this: before we touch your rug, you will receive an exact quote. You will know precisely what the work costs, what it involves, and what the result will look like. If you decide not to proceed, there is no charge for the assessment. We do not start work without your full approval.

Getting your rug washed or repaired is simple. Here is all you need to do:
