hand clean Oriental rugs such as Persian, Indian, Chinese, Afghan, and

specialists treat each rug with special attention and the cleaning
process is customized for each particular type of fiber, whether
natural or synthetic, such as wool, cotton, jute, silk, sisal, polyester, nylon, acrylic and more.
We carefully inspect each rug prior to cleaning in order to identify any
apparent special conditions that may need to be addressed. We will then
provide you with a detailed estimate and work authorization request.
Once you have given us written authorization and approved the estimate, we then tag the rug and bring it to our facility for cleaning and/ or repairs. We pick up and redeliver your rugs at no cost to you if you are located in Hernando county. We charge a service fee if you are outside our service area.

Each rug is identified ( where it was woven ),being able to ID a rug is critical to proper cleaning and repairs, not all rug cleaners have the experience or knowledge of rugs to be able to ID them. Knowing what you are working on is important to providing proper care.
