Professional Oriental Rug Cleaning in Chicago

Pricing is based on the size, fiber, and condition of your rug. Wool rugs, silk rugs, and antique pieces each require different handling, and heavily soiled or pet-affected rugs may need extra treatment.

Because every rug is unique, we provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins—just send us a photo or call. There are no surprise charges, and pickup and delivery are always free throughout Chicagoland.

Most Oriental rugs benefit from a professional cleaning every 1 to 3 years. High-traffic rugs, homes with pets or children, and rugs in entryways should be cleaned closer to once a year, while low-traffic rugs can go longer.

Regular cleaning removes the abrasive grit that silently cuts fibers from the inside out, so it actually extends your rug's life. For a deeper look, read our guide on how often to clean Oriental rugs.

Yes. We have safely cleaned thousands of silk, antique, and heirloom rugs over 32+ years. These delicate pieces receive extra-gentle, pH-appropriate handling and are inspected closely for dye stability and structural condition before cleaning.

Fragile or valuable rugs are hand-washed with lower agitation and dried flat under close supervision to prevent any shrinkage or color migration. If an antique rug also needs repair, our restoration specialists can address that too.

The typical turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from pickup to delivery. This allows time for proper dusting, hand washing, thorough rinsing, and—most importantly—slow, controlled drying that protects the fibers and dyes.

Rugs with heavy soiling, pet contamination, or added treatments may take an extra day or two. See our full cleaning process for the day-by-day breakdown.

For Oriental and area rugs, yes—by a wide margin. In-home cleaning cannot achieve the water volume, rinsing, or controlled drying of a dedicated facility, and it often leaves soap residue and moisture trapped in the foundation.

At our Glenview workshop we can fully immerse and flush the rug, dust out embedded soil, and dry it evenly—none of which is possible on your living room floor. That's why we offer free pickup and delivery so your rug can be cleaned properly off-site.

No. We test every rug for colorfastness before washing and select a pH-balanced, dye-safe solution matched to the fiber. We never use bleach, harsh detergents, or optical brighteners that can strip or alter natural dyes.

Combined with cool water and controlled drying, this approach prevents the color bleeding and fading that can happen with improper DIY or in-home methods. Most customers are surprised how much brighter and richer their rug looks afterward.
