Persian Rug Cleaning

Authentic Persian rugs, whether from Iran, Afghanistan, or other rug-weaving regions, are among the world's most valuable textiles. Hand-knotted with natural wool or silk, they represent decades of craftsmanship and can last for generations with proper care. At American Steamers, we treat every Persian rug as the unique treasure it is, using hand-washing techniques developed specifically for natural fiber, vegetable-dyed, and hand-knotted rugs.


Our Persian rug cleaning process is never rushed. We begin with a complete inspection, documenting the condition, identifying fiber types, and testing dye stability. We then perform dry soil removal, apply pre-treatment to stains, hand-wash the rug with appropriate solutions, rinse until all residue is removed, and dry flat under controlled conditions. This meticulous process restores the rug's luster, brightens its colors, and eliminates odors without risk of shrinkage or dye bleeding.


We also offer Persian rug repair, fringe restoration, binding, and moth damage treatment. Compare with our Oriental rug cleaning and silk rug cleaning services.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I know if my Persian rug is genuine?


Genuine hand-knotted Persian rugs have irregularities in the pile and fringe that is part of the rug, not sewn on. We can help identify your rug type during our pre-cleaning inspection.


What's the difference between cleaning a Persian rug and a regular carpet?


Persian rugs require hand-washing, gentle pH-balanced solutions, dye testing, and controlled drying, very different from the hot water extraction used for broadloom carpet.


How often should Persian rugs be cleaned?


Every 1, 3 years depending on foot traffic, pets, and exposure to sunlight and humidity. South Florida's humidity makes annual cleaning especially beneficial.


Can you repair moth damage on my Persian rug?


Yes. We offer rug repair services including re-weaving moth-damaged sections and stabilizing vulnerable areas.


Is pickup and delivery available for Persian rug cleaning?


Yes, our free pickup and delivery service is available throughout South Florida.
