Rug cleaning services for Oriental & Persian carpets. Drop-off or book a pickup.

Time-Tested Method for Rug Cleaning

Our rug cleaning specialists will be able to identify your rugs. What will we identify and why is this important to know before handling your rugs?

✓ Construction

✓ Origin-Age

✓ Weave Type

✓ Fiber Quality

  • We do not service wall-to-wall carpet, only area and Oriental rugs – hand made carpets including everything from simple braided rugs to high-end very fine Persian wool and silk rugs. 
  • We only offer off-site rug cleaning. Customers can drop-off their rugs to our state-of-the-art facility (saving 20% from their total) or they are picked-up from your home.
  • Every rug is hand-washed individually with attention to detail and care. This means we inspect for damage, weak areas, color bleeding, and stretching risks before your rugs are wet and washed. 
  • Two rugs are never washed simultaneously, never share the same unclean water – eliminating cross-contamination problems. We do not steam clean, surface clean, power-wash, or spot clean. 
  • Book a pickup or simply drop-off your rugs at our facility in Severna Park, MD during business hours. Walk-ins are welcome.
Pet Stain Removal Oder Carpet

Guaranteed Pet Urine & Odor Removal

Our rug cleaning process is customized for each rug removing risks of dye bleeding, cross-contamination, shrinkage, or damage – while eliminating stains, odors, and contaminates. We do not guarantee complete stain removal.

ONE-OF-A-KIND

Our Rug Washing Process

Your rugs always receive personal attention. All work is done by hand and never by machine – eliminating risks of dye bleeding, cross contamination, shrinkage, or damage.

1 - Rug Inspection

Rug Inspection

When we first see your rug, we Inspect it with you to ensure you receive the exact rug cleaning results you desire.

2 - Dusting

Rug Dusting

We remove dust prior to beginning the rug cleaning process; it is our mission to safely lift and remove any loose soil from the rug’s foundation.

3 - Hand Wash / Rinsing

Rug Washing by Hand
Soaked and scrubbed both front and back with plenty of clean water and rug shampoo (non-toxic).

Thorough Rinse
We make sure no residue of any cleaning or spotting agents is left in the rug. The rug is rinsed completely and hung to dry.

4 - Dry & Wrap

Completely Dry
If we determine the rug needs another wash, it will be washed again safely. If not, we’ll bring it down from the rack and give last inspection.


Wrapped for safe transport
Rugs will be wrapped for protection. You will be notified to collect or we’ll schedule your delivery.

5 - Ready to Pick-up or Deliver

If rugs were dropped off
We’ll  notify you of done status. Your rugs will be wrapped and a team member will help load them in your car.


If your rugs were picked up
We’ll contact you to schedule your delivery.  We will help lay them out in the desired areas.

Why Us?

Unqualified cleaners (i.e., dry cleaners, home carpet cleaners, restoration companies) may not know the consequences of using chemicals and improper cleaning methods, often causing a great deal of damage. Many cleaners automate or lack the proper knowledge for rug cleaning.
