Restoring the Vibrancy of Your Persian Textiles
Authentic Persian rugs are defined by their natural dyes and hand-spun wool, making them vulnerable to common cleaning errors. The wrong pH level or excessive moisture can lead to permanent 'pilling' of fibres and foundation shrinkage.
Our approach at Prestige moves beyond standard cleaning. We utilise a bespoke process designed specifically for high-value textiles, ensuring every knot is cleared of abrasive grit while protecting the natural lanolin in the wool. We don't just clean—we extend the life of your most distinctive pieces.
Our Expert Process
Detailed Assessment: Dye-bleed Testing & Foundation Analysis: We verify colourfastness before a single drop of water touches the fibre.
Mechanical Dusting: Removes deeply embedded dry soil and abrasive micro-particles that act like sandpaper on the rug's foundation..
Submersion or Low-Moisture Cleaning: Depending on the rug's age and dye type, we use specialised baths or hand-cleaning to lift oils and dirt.
Fringe Restoration: We pay special attention to the cotton or silk fringe, cleaning them delicately without the use of harsh bleaches.
Controlled Drying: Rugs are dried in a climate-controlled environment to prevent browning and maintain a supple "handle."
Restoring Character, Preserving Value
Whether you are dealing with pet accidents, fringe wear, moth damage, or general dullness, we avoid the "one-size-fits-all" steam cleaning that can ruin a Persian rug. We use only wool-safe, non-toxic solutions that preserve the natural lanolin, keeping the pile soft and resilient.
If your Persian rug has lost its vibrancy or feels stiff to the touch, a professional deep clean can bring the "bloom" back to its colors and ensure it remains a family legacy for generations.
