Carpet Cleaning Services › Persian Rug Cleaning
Persian Rug Cleaning in Knoxville, TN
Authentic Persian rugs are woven with wool pile on a cotton or silk foundation, and both materials behave differently when they get wet. The dyes in traditional Persian rugs were often set with mordants that can shift color under the wrong pH or temperature. We treat these rugs as individual projects rather than a standard cleaning job, starting with a dye test and adjusting every step based on what the rug actually needs. Getting soil out without disturbing the pile orientation or bleeding colors takes patience and the right chemistry.

When to Call
When You Need Persian Rug Cleaning
- Your Tabriz rug has a urine stain from a cat that has been there long enough to smell in humid weather.
- You purchased a Persian rug at a Knoxville estate sale and it needs cleaning before it enters your home.
- The colors on your Isfahan look dull and the pile feels stiff after years without professional cleaning.
- Moths have been active in storage and the rug has some fiber loss you want assessed alongside the cleaning.
How It Works
Our Process for Persian Rug Cleaning
- 1
Condition and Dye Assessment
We examine pile wear, foundation integrity, and test dye stability in multiple areas before any water is applied.
- 2
Dry Soil Removal
Both sides of the rug are thoroughly vacuumed and beaten to free grit from the knot base, which protects the wool during washing.
- 3
pH-Controlled Wash
We wash with solutions matched to wool and specific to the dye types identified, brushing gently with the pile, not against it.
- 4
Controlled Flat Drying
The rug lays flat with airflow above and below until completely dry, preventing the foundation from shrinking unevenly.
Knoxville Context
Why this matters in Knoxville
Knoxville's older neighborhoods like Fourth and Gill and Sequoyah Hills have a concentration of homes where heirloom Persian rugs have been used for decades. These rugs often haven't been cleaned professionally in years, and that level of accumulated soil needs careful, staged removal.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Older vegetable-dyed rugs can have unpredictable dye behavior, and we will show you our test results before proceeding. Fringe repair and re-fringing are separate from cleaning and are priced accordingly.
