Oriental Rug Cleaning

Oriental rugs are works of art, hand-knotted over months or years with natural wool, silk, and cotton fibers. They require a completely different approach than synthetic carpeting. American Steamers offers professional Oriental rug cleaning using traditional hand-washing methods combined with modern pH-balanced solutions. We clean at our facility where we can fully submerge, hand-wash, rinse, and control the drying of your rug without risk to your floors or home.


Our Oriental rug cleaning process starts with a thorough inspection to identify fiber types, dye stability, and any existing damage. We then dust the rug (removing dry soil that vacuuming can't reach), pre-treat stains, hand-wash using appropriate solutions for the specific fiber and dye type, rinse thoroughly, and dry in a climate-controlled environment. The result is a rug that's deeply clean, colors revived, and fibers restored.


We also offer rug repair, rug binding, rug serging, and fringe restoration as part of our complete Oriental rug care program. See our free pickup and delivery service.

Frequently Asked Questions


Is it safe to wash Oriental rugs with water?


Yes, when done properly. Traditional hand-washing in water is actually the safest and most thorough method for most Oriental rugs, provided dyes are tested first and drying is properly controlled.


How long does the cleaning process take?


Typically 3, 5 business days from pickup to delivery, allowing time for thorough washing, rinsing, and drying.


Can you remove pet urine from my Oriental rug?


Yes. We have specialized decontamination treatments for urine, but the success depends on how deeply the damage has penetrated. Early treatment yields the best results.


My rug has bleeding colors, can it still be cleaned?


Possibly, with specialized color-setting treatments. We always test dye stability before cleaning to prevent further bleeding.


Do you clean antique and heirloom rugs?


Yes, and with extra care. We assess each antique rug individually and use the gentlest methods to preserve the fiber and dye integrity.
