Persian
The most renowned rug tradition in the world. Tabriz, Kashan, Heriz, Gabbeh — each weave density and dye palette gets matched to its own cleaning approach.
Living on the North Shore means your rugs face real challenges. The humidity rolling in from Lake Michigan, winter salt tracked across your floors, and that damp lake air all work against your beautiful pieces. We've been caring for Oriental rugs in Lake Bluff homes for years, and families in Knollwood know we understand exactly what their investment needs. Our cleaning process removes deep-set moisture, salt residue, and mold spores that standard methods miss. We serve Lake Bluff and the surrounding communities with the same careful attention your home deserves. Call us at (847) 951-9636 to protect your rug today.

High-quality Oriental rugs trap dirt deep inside their fibers, fast. Vacuuming barely touches the surface; the dirt closer to the bottom of the pile gradually damages the fibers and shortens the rug's lifespan. The evidence is easy to spot: place a book on a "clean" rug and observe the dust that emerges.
Our process begins with a comprehensive survey to identify your rug's fiber content and construction, including wool, silk, cotton, or synthetic materials, and whether it's hand-knotted or machine-woven, allowing us to clean it properly. Because rugs are removable, we transport them to our shop for the best possible results. That's where our specialized equipment and expertise are housed.
If you've got a quality oriental rug in one of those older Knollwood area homes, the lake humidity and winter salt tracked in from your driveway are working against you year-round. Most folks don't realize salt crystals embed deep into fibers and keep pulling moisture, which speeds up mold growth in our North Shore climate. Getting your rugs professionally cleaned before spring helps pull out that accumulated salt and grit, then a proper dry-down prevents the mildew that thrives in damp conditions. It's one of those maintenance moves that actually extends rug life by years. Give us a call at (847) 951-9636 if you want to protect your investment.
We've cleaned virtually nearly all the traditional rugs in the world. Each one requires proper technique tailored to its fiber, weave, and dye chemistry. That's where beginning with a thorough survey is essential.
The most renowned rug tradition in the world. Tabriz, Kashan, Heriz, Gabbeh — each weave density and dye palette gets matched to its own cleaning approach.
Symmetric knots, bold medallions, often wool-on-wool construction. Built for longevity — cleans up beautifully with the right pH.
Tribal geometric patterns, coarser weave, deeply saturated natural dyes. Handled with care to preserve color and collectibility.
Distinctive "gul" medallions on deep red grounds, dense weave, often smaller sizes. Gentle washing preserves the patina.
Senneh loop knot construction, often contemporary designs. Highland wool takes color beautifully — gentle chemistry keeps its sheen.
Low-density weave, often with carved pile and silk detailing. Subtle palettes and classical motifs — always dye-tested before cleaning.
Hand-knotted wool with tribal geometric patterns, thick pile, deep reds and blues. Sturdy heirloom pieces that respond well to proper washing.
Hand-tufted and machine-made area rugs in wool, synthetic, or blends. Same fiber-appropriate care, thorough rinsing, and controlled drying as traditional pieces.
Tap to expand each section, or read it all the way through — every customer asks at least one of these questions.
A truck-mount wand can pass over a rug in your house, but that's a surface-level pass. Top-layer cleaning doesn't cut it. Real rug cleaning requires dusting (literally removing embedded soil before any moisture contacts the pile), complete soaking and thorough rinsing, and adequate drying time laid flat to protect the foundation.
That simply cannot be accomplished in 45 minutes on your floor. We remove the rug, transport it to our shop, and perform the comprehensive cleaning it needs.
An Oriental rug is a focal point in your home. Keeping it looking right is partly aesthetics, partly investment protection. A real cleaning returns the rug to like-new condition by extracting allergens trapped in the foundation, addressing odor sources directly, increasing the rug's longevity by clearing away ground-in dirt, and restoring the color and pile to their original state.
Different fibers need customized chemistry and the right water temperature. Wool isn't cotton, and silk isn't either. We identify each fiber type before selecting the appropriate pH level and cleaning approach. Our solutions are family- and pet-safe from start to finish. No harsh residues left in the rug to off-gas in your living room later.
Most carpet cleaners don't prioritize rug cleaning. We don't. We operate a dedicated rug-cleaning division and we apply the same exacting standards whether the rug is a $200 area rug or a $20,000 antique. Family-owned in Lake County since 2016. Same crew, same care. Should you be dissatisfied, Paul conducts a personal inspection, we re-clean at no extra charge, and we guarantee your satisfaction.
Pulled from Google, Yelp, and HomeAdvisor. We don't curate the bad ones away — there just aren't very many.
The girls were so nice, showed up timely and did a nice job.
Amazing service. Paul, the owner, is extremely responsive and wonderful with answering questions. Also, I found him to be very honest, which is beyond valuable. We had 2 area rugs cleaned, and they soft power washed our house. Amazing jobs on all of it. I would highly recommend…
What a great team! With two dogs, our white carpet takes a beating. The carpet looks amazing. Thank you so much. Great service!
