Cleaning and restoration of hand-knotted rugs

Hand-knotted carpets are no ordinary floor coverings; they are works of art with refined patterns and meticulous craftsmanship. Such a rug — often oriental in origin and made of wool or silk — requires care that matches its material, age and origin. As with any valuable piece, good care is essential for longevity and heritage preservation. At Gallery Persepolis, we understand how important it is to preserve these beautiful pieces, which is why we offer expert cleaning and restoration services.

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 specialized 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 color, fresh appearance and stronger fibers.

Trapped dirt can dull the carpet's vibrant colors and damage the fibers.

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 fibers with every step.

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

Professional cleaning

A specialized 3-step approach

Hand-knotted rugs are often made from natural materials such as wool and silk and have complex patterns. An incorrect cleaning method can cause damage to the carpet, which can significantly reduce its value.

Deep cleaning while retaining fibers and color

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

Color protection

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

Color restoration and stain removal

Our methods and tools are carefully tailored to different types of carpets, preserving colors 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.

Color correction

Faded colors due to sun exposure or dye fading can be addressed with our color restoration techniques.

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.

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 fibers.

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