Cleaning and restoration of hand-knotted rugs

Rugs are exposed to dust, dirt and wear every day. A deep clean lifts embedded dirt that ordinary vacuuming cannot reach, helping to restore colour and extend the rug's lifespan. Incorrect cleaning, however, can cause colours to run, weaken the fibres and permanently diminish the value of your hand-knotted rug.

Why clean

Benefits of professional rug cleaning

Carpets are frequently walked over and over time, dirt, dust and allergens accumulate. Regular vacuuming helps, but does not remove deep-seated dirt or allergens.

Our professional carpet cleaning goes further and uses specialised techniques — suitable for wool or silk, high or low pile — to address the following:

From Maastricht, we serve all of Limburg.

Deep-seated dirt

Result: restored colour, fresh appearance and stronger fibres.

Trapped dirt can dull the carpet's vibrant colours and damage the fibres.

Our cleaning process removes these impurities and restores your carpet's original shine and beauty.

Allergen removal

The result: a healthier living environment, especially for children and pets.

Dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens can build up in carpets and cause allergies and breathing problems.

Prevent wear and tear

The result: a carpet that demonstrably lasts longer.

Dirt and debris act as abrasives and wear down the carpet's fibres with every step.

Regular cleaning removes these harmful particles, making the carpet last longer and allowing you to enjoy its beauty for generations.

A specialised 3-step approach

An incorrect cleaning method can cause lasting damage and significantly diminish the value of a hand-knotted rug. Because of its delicate materials and intricate patterns, every rug calls for a careful, specialist approach.

Deep cleaning while retaining fibres and colour

Specialists use advanced techniques to clean deep into the fibres of the carpet and remove dirt, stains and odours. This process ensures that the carpet not only looks fresh again, but also lasts longer.

Colour protection

We use a combination of thorough vacuuming, gentle brushing and a mild cleaning solution. This way, the fibres and colours remain intact.

Colour restoration and stain removal

Our methods and tools are carefully tailored to different types of carpets, preserving colours and even bringing them back to life.

Extending the lifespan

By having your hand-knotted carpet cleaned in a timely manner, you can significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its original beauty.

Professional restoration using traditional techniques

Even the toughest carpets can wear out over time. Restoration goes beyond cleaning and focuses on repairing damage to maintain structure and beauty. Our experts at Gallery Persepolis use traditional techniques to restore your carpets to their original state.

Every intervention is done with respect for the material, origin and value of your carpet.

Repairs

Cracks, holes, and frayed edges and fringes can be carefully repaired using hand-knotting and weaving techniques so that the carpet maintains its structural integrity and visual appeal.

Colour correction

Faded or uneven colours caused by sunlight or running dyes are corrected using specialist techniques, preserving the rug's original character.

Restoration of fringes

Damaged fringes can interfere with the appearance of a carpet. Our restoration services repair or replace fringes to maintain aesthetic integrity and prevent further damage.

Protection and aftercare for long-term preservation

After your carpet has been cleaned and/or restored, we treat it with a protective finish that helps prevent future stains and wear. In addition, we give you specific maintenance tips so that you can keep the carpet in top condition at home for longer.

Prevents rapid wear

A protective layer and correct cleaning intervals slow down the wear of the fibres.

Easy maintenance

With our practical advice, such as regular vacuuming and blotting immediately in case of a stain, your carpet will stay beautiful longer.
