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.
If you live along Lake Catherine's shoreline or anywhere in this quiet waterfront community, you know how much sand and moisture can take a toll on your Oriental rugs. Our cleaning service specializes in restoring rugs that have absorbed lake humidity and seasonal wear, bringing back their natural colors and softness. We handle delicate fibers with care, using methods that protect your investment while removing deep-set dirt and odors. Call us at (847) 951-9636 to schedule your cleaning, and we're happy to serve families throughout the Chain O Lakes area and neighboring communities.
We answer the phone.
High-quality Oriental rugs accumulate dirt deep within their fibers at surprising speed. Vacuuming can only address surface-level dirt; 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.
We start by conducting a detailed survey of your rug's fiber content and construction, determining whether it's wool, silk, cotton, or synthetic and if it's hand-knotted or machine-woven, so we can tailor our cleaning method accordingly. Because rugs are removable, we bring them to our facility for optimal results. That's where our specialized equipment and trained team deliver the best care.
If you're living along the Lake Catherine shoreline, you know how lake humidity and sand tracked indoors can really wear on a good rug. The moisture in the air works its way into the fibers, and before long you've got musty smells and potential mildew settling in. Getting your rugs professionally cleaned every year or two isn't just about looks—it's about protecting them from the damp environment we live in. A good deep clean removes the trapped moisture and grit that regular vacuuming misses, which keeps your rugs lasting way longer in our waterfront community.
We've cleaned virtually nearly all the traditional rugs in the world. Each one requires the correct approach for its fiber type, weave pattern, and color chemistry. That's where the survey-first approach makes all the difference.
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. Surface-only cleaning doesn't cut it. Real rug cleaning requires dusting (literally removing embedded soil before any moisture contacts the pile), full submersion or thorough flush, and adequate drying time laid flat to protect the foundation.
Forty-five minutes on-site is not enough time to do the work properly. We remove the rug, transport it to our shop, and perform the comprehensive cleaning it needs.
An Oriental rug is a signature design element. Keeping it looking right is partly aesthetics, partly investment protection. A real cleaning restores the rug to its original beauty, pulls allergens out of the foundation, neutralizes odors at the source, extends the rug's life by removing abrasive embedded dirt, and brings back the color and pile you remember when it was new.
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 safe for your family and pets across the board. No harsh residues left in the rug to off-gas in your living room later.
Most carpet cleaners treat rug cleaning as secondary. 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.

Will use again. Great experience
The pavers on our front walk look brand new!
The carpet looks new! The spot that wears at the bottom of the stairs if fluffy and fresh again. The team was polite and asked questions. Thanks guys!
Living in Lake Catherine means embracing the beauty of waterfront living, but those sandy floors and lake humidity can take a real toll on your oriental rugs. Whether you're in the Lake Catherine shoreline community or the Channel Lake area, moisture and sand work their way into those fibers faster than you'd expect, dulling colors and weakening the weave. Your rugs deserve care that understands this specific challenge. Professional oriental rug cleaning removes the deep-set grit and humidity damage that regular vacuuming can't touch, restoring both the look and longevity of your investment. For residents throughout Lake Catherine and the surrounding Chain O Lakes communities, we're conveniently accessible from our Lake Villa office at 72 Balsam Ave. Call us at (847) 951-9636 to schedule your cleaning and keep those beautiful rugs looking their best year after year.
