Expert hand-washing for your valuable hand-knotted rugs. Over 35 years of trusted expertise in cleaning Oriental, Persian, and fine area rugs throughout Chicago.
Oriental and Persian rugs are more than floor coverings—they're works of art, family heirlooms, and valuable investments that deserve specialized care. Unlike machine-made rugs, these hand-knotted masterpieces require expert knowledge of fibers, dyes, and traditional weaving techniques to clean safely and effectively.
At Premier Rug Cleaning, we've dedicated over 35 years to mastering the art and science of Oriental rug care. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with professional-grade equipment specifically designed for hand-knotted rugs, including automated washing systems, centrifuge extractors, and climate-controlled drying rooms that simply cannot be replicated with portable cleaning equipment.
We understand that each rug tells a story—whether it's a century-old Persian Tabriz passed down through generations or a recently acquired Turkish Oushak. Our customized cleaning plans consider the rug's fiber content, dye chemistry, age, and condition to deliver exceptional results while preserving its integrity and value. We also offer professional rug repair and antique rug care services.
Most rugs cleaned and returned within 7-10 business days. Rush service available for urgent needs.
Meticulous care at every stage ensures your rug receives the treatment it deserves
We examine every inch of your rug, noting fiber type, weave structure, existing damage, stains, and areas of concern. Photos and videos are taken for complete documentation.

Using specialized dusting equipment, we remove pounds of dry soil embedded deep within the rug—soil that regular vacuuming simply cannot reach. This critical step prevents mud formation during washing.
We test all colors for bleeding and fastness to determine the safest cleaning method. This is crucial for rugs with natural vegetable dyes or unstable synthetic dyes. Need dye correction? We can help.

Your rug is washed individually using pH-balanced solutions appropriate for its fiber type. We control water temperature, agitation, and dwell time precisely for optimal cleaning without damage.
Multiple rinse cycles ensure all cleaning solutions and loosened soil are completely removed. No residue means your rug stays cleaner longer and feels softer.

Our high-speed centrifuge removes excess water without twisting or damaging the rug's foundation. This gentle extraction method is essential for preserving the rug's structure.
Rugs dry flat in our temperature and humidity-controlled rooms, preventing shrinkage, mildew, and color bleeding. Proper drying is crucial for maintaining rug integrity. Add fabric protection for lasting results.

We groom the pile, inspect the cleaned rug for quality assurance, and prepare it for delivery. Your rug is wrapped in protective packaging and returned looking its absolute best.
