The Most Thorough and Safe Wool Rug Cleaning Process

We are proud to be the first and, currently, only carpet cleaning company in Illinois to be certified by the IICRC for the proper care and handling of Persian, Oriental, and Fine Wool Rugs. Our specialized in-plant process is the only reliable method that will properly clean all types of wool rugs. Many homeowners unwittingly cause irreversible damage to their fine wool rugs using improper cleaning techniques and chemicals. In essence, properly cleaning a wool rug needs a robust yet gentle approach and the right chemistry for precise cleaning.

The retail price of a fine wool rug may not reflect its true cost. Many of these rugs are Persian or Oriental, with a rich history of rug weaving dating back to 711 AD in places like Spain. Authentic Persian rugs originate from modern-day Iran, where patterns and handwoven techniques have been preserved by families, clans, and villages for over 2500 years. Crafting a high-quality handwoven rug measuring 9′ x 12′ can require three weavers working ten hours a day, six days a week, for more than a year. Retail prices range from $300 to several thousand dollars, but these figures should be higher. They remain “artificially” low due to the very low labor costs in Asian and Chinese markets. It’s important to note that the price does not dictate the proper cleaning and care necessary for these rugs.
