Persian Rug Cleaning in Portland, ME
Persian rug cleaning is a full immersion wash process designed for hand-knotted wool and silk rugs woven with natural dyes. These rugs are not cleaned in place — they come to our facility where we can control water temperature, dwell time, and drying conditions. The problem most homeowners face is that years of foot traffic pack soil deep into the foundation, well below what vacuuming reaches. Left alone, that embedded grit cuts fiber from the inside out.

When to Call
When You Need Persian Rug Cleaning
- Your Tabriz or Kashan rug smells musty after a wet Portland winter indoors
- A pet accident soaked through the pile and the odor keeps coming back
- You inherited a family rug and have no idea when it was last washed
- Colors look dull and flat but you're afraid standard cleaning will cause dye bleeding
How It Works
Our Process for Persian Rug Cleaning
- 1
Fiber and dye assessment
We test each rug for dye stability before any water touches it, flagging areas that need extra caution during washing.
- 2
Controlled full immersion wash
The rug is submerged in temperature-controlled water with a pH-balanced solution, then worked gently to release deep soil.
- 3
Rinse and soil extraction
We flush the rug repeatedly until the rinse water runs clear, removing detergent and loosened particulate from the foundation.
- 4
Controlled flat drying
Rugs dry flat in a climate-managed space to prevent warping, color migration, and mildew during the drying cycle.
Portland Context
Why this matters in Portland
Portland homes near the water see higher indoor humidity levels, which accelerates mildew growth in rug foundations. Persian rugs stored or displayed in older Congress Street or West End homes often carry decades of accumulated soil we rarely see in drier climates.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Scope depends on rug size, how compacted the soil is, and whether the dyes require extra handling steps. Fringe repair or deodorizing treatment adds time and is priced separately.
