Professional Persian Rug and Persian Carpet Cleaning Services
Persian rugs and carpets are handcrafted using traditional weaving techniques, natural fibres, and intricate designs. Over time, dust, dirt, allergens, stains, and moisture can become trapped deep within the fibres, affecting both their appearance and condition.
Because these rugs often contain delicate materials and natural dyes, they require specialist cleaning methods that protect their structure and preserve their long-term value.
At MrCarpetSolutions, we provide professional Persian rug and Persian carpet cleaning services tailored to handmade and delicate rugs. Using specialist equipment and proven cleaning techniques, we remove embedded dirt, allergens, odours, and surface contamination while protecting delicate fibres and colours.
Our cleaning process helps maintain the appearance, texture, and durability of Persian rugs while supporting proper long-term care.
Why Professional Persian Carpet Cleaning Matters
Persian carpets differ from many modern machine-made carpets. They are often made from natural fibres, handwoven using traditional techniques, and coloured with delicate dyes that require careful treatment.
Improper cleaning methods can damage fibres, cause colour bleeding, weaken the rug’s structure, or reduce its value.
Professional carpet cleaning removes embedded dirt, dust, allergens, and bacteria while protecting delicate fibres and traditional dyes. Regular specialist cleaning also helps preserve the rug’s appearance, softness, and overall condition, extending its lifespan for years to come.
Professional Persian Rug Cleaning Methods
Different Persian rugs require different cleaning approaches depending on their age, fibre type, construction, dyes, and condition.
Dry Rug Cleaning
Dry rug cleaning uses specialist cleaning compounds and professional equipment to remove dust, dirt, and surface contamination without saturating the rug with water.
This method is particularly suitable for delicate rugs, moisture-sensitive fibres, and situations where minimal drying time is preferred.
Controlled Low-Moisture Cleaning
Some Persian rugs require a deeper clean while still limiting moisture exposure.
Controlled low-moisture cleaning uses carefully selected cleaning solutions and professional equipment to remove embedded dirt, allergens, and light staining while protecting delicate fibres and traditional dyes.
Following a detailed assessment, our technicians recommend the most suitable cleaning method for each rug to achieve effective results while preserving its condition.
How Experts Clean Delicate Persian Rugs Without Damage
Cleaning Persian rugs requires specialist knowledge and careful handling. Handmade wool fibres and traditional dyes can react negatively to excessive moisture, harsh chemicals, or unsuitable cleaning techniques.
Our technicians inspect the rug before cleaning and assess its material, construction, colour stability, and condition. We then use controlled cleaning methods to remove dirt, allergens, and contaminants while protecting fibres and preserving colour.
This careful approach helps maintain the rug’s texture, softness, appearance, and value while reducing the risk of shrinkage, distortion, or colour transfer.
Professional Persian Carpet Cleaning vs DIY Cleaning
Many homeowners try to clean Persian rugs using household products or rented carpet-cleaning machines. These methods may improve the surface appearance, but they often fail to remove dirt trapped deep within the fibres.
Dust, allergens, bacteria, and moisture can remain embedded in the rug even when it looks clean.
Professional Persian rug cleaning uses specialised equipment, traditional rug-cleaning techniques, and carefully selected solutions formulated for handmade rugs. This provides a deeper clean while helping preserve the rug’s appearance, structure, and long-term value.

Professional Persian rug cleaning provides safer, more reliable long-term results while helping to preserve the condition and appearance of valuable rugs.
Cleaning Duration and Drying Time
The time required to clean a Persian rug depends on its size, fibre type, condition, level of soiling, and the chosen cleaning method.
Handmade rugs with heavy staining, dust build-up, or odours may need extra cleaning attention.
The average cleaning and drying time is as follows:
- Cleaning duration: Typically 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the rug's size and condition.
- Drying time: Dry cleaning methods allow rugs to be ready for use immediately after treatment.
- Controlled drying: Low-moisture cleaning helps reduce drying time while protecting delicate fibres.
Drying is an important part of Persian rug care. Excess moisture can affect natural fibres, traditional dyes, and the rug’s structure.
Cost of Persian Carpet Cleaning Services
The cost of Persian rug cleaning depends on the rug size, fibre type, condition, stain level, and any extra treatments required.
Handmade rugs often need specialist cleaning methods and more careful handling than standard rugs.
Our Persian rug cleaning prices usually start from:
- Small Persian rugs: from £25;
- Medium Persian rugs: from £30;
- Large Persian rugs: from £40.
The final price may vary based on heavy staining, odour removal, delicate fibres, specialist stain treatment, and the rug’s overall condition.
Before cleaning begins, we assess the rug and recommend the safest cleaning method. This allows us to provide clear pricing and ensure each rug receives the right level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homes with children, pets, or high foot traffic may need more frequent cleaning.
Wool Persian rugs need careful cleaning to protect natural fibres and reduce the risk of shrinkage, fibre damage, or colour bleeding.
Because wool can hold dirt and moisture deep within the pile, professional cleaning is usually the safest and most effective option. It helps maintain the rug’s softness, appearance, and long-term condition.
