An authentic Persian rug not only adds style and character to your interior, but is also a sustainable investment that will last for generations. But how do you keep these beautiful works of art in optimal condition?

To maintain the splendour of a Persian rug, it is essential to invest in professional maintenance and regular cleaning.

Why Professional Carpet Cleaning Is Essential

Hand-knotted carpets consist of natural materials such as wool, silk and cotton. While these materials are durable and robust, over time they attract dust, dirt, and allergens that penetrate deep into the fibers. Professional cleaning effectively removes this deep-seated dirt without damaging the delicate structures of the carpet.

A well-maintained carpet not only maintains its beauty but also its value. While untreated carpets wear and lose color, a professionally cleaned carpet maintains vibrant colors and a soft shine that becomes even more beautiful over the years.

This way, your carpet maintains its beauty and health without damaging the delicate fibers.

The Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

When you choose an authentic Persian rug, you're not only making an aesthetic choice, but you're also contributing to a more sustainable world. Each carpet is a conscious investment in craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless quality.

A hand-knotted Persian rug stands out in several ways:

  1. Extends lifespan
    Professional cleaning significantly extends the life of your carpet, allowing it to retain its original beauty for years and add value to your home.
  2. Healthier living environment
    Carpets can collect allergens, dust, and bacteria. Regular deep cleaning reduces allergies and ensures a healthier living environment for you and your family.
  3. Colour retention and renewal
    Dirt and dust can make colours dull. Professional cleaning restores the original colors, making your carpet look like new and enhancing the unique patterns.
  4. Fiber protection
    Specialized cleaning protects and conditions the fibers, helping to prevent wear and damage to the carpet.

How Does Professional Carpet Cleaning Work?

At Gallery Persepolis, we use a careful method that is specifically tailored to the type and condition of your carpet:

  • Inspection and Analysis:
    Each carpet is thoroughly reviewed to determine the most appropriate cleaning process.
  • Dust removal:
    Special techniques and equipment thoroughly remove all surface and deep-lying dirt.
  • Eco-friendly Cleaning:
    We use environmentally friendly cleaners that are powerful enough to remove dirt but gentle enough to clean your carpet safely.
  • Thorough Drying and Finishing:
    After cleaning, we dry the carpet carefully to prevent mold and maintain its structure. We then check the quality to ensure that the carpet returns in perfect condition.

Common Carpet Cleaning Mistakes

It clean by yourself Making valuable carpets may seem simple at first glance, but it involves considerable risks. Many people underestimate how sensitive hand-knotted carpets are to certain cleaning methods and materials. Here we explain the most common mistakes — so you know what to avoid:

  • Use of harsh cleaning agents
    Many household cleaning products contain chemicals that are too harsh for natural fibers such as wool and silk. These agents can not only affect the color, but also weaken the fibers, making the carpet brittle and vulnerable.
  • Excessive water use
    A common mistake is soaking the carpet with water. This can lead to mold in the base of the carpet and long-term damage to the knot structure. Professional cleaners work with controlled amounts of moisture and ensure fast, safe drying.
  • Brushes and scrubs that are too hard
    In an attempt to remove stubborn stains, people sometimes use hard brushes or scrub aggressively. This damages the fibers, causing bald spots and fraying. Gentle, targeted treatment is essential for a valuable carpet.
  • Wrong drying techniques
    After cleaning, some let the carpet dry in direct sunlight or on a radiator. This can lead to shrinkage, discoloration or deformation. Professional drying methods take the material and structure into account so that your carpet retains its shape and beauty.
  • Treating stains without knowledge
    Quickly wiping away a stain with what happens to be available (such as kitchen towels with all-purpose cleaner) can backfire. Different materials and dyes react differently to moisture and cleaning agents. Without specialist knowledge, you run the risk of turning a small spot into a major, permanent problem.

That is why, at Gallery Persepolis, we always recommend using a specialized service when in doubt. Our experts have the right knowledge, experience and equipment to clean your carpet safely and effectively, while respecting its craftsmanship and history. This way, you prevent irreparable damage and ensure that your carpet lasts for generations.
