Oriental and Persian rug washing by hand for North Sea homes, with fiber and color checks and free collection.
Hand-knotted rugs turn up in every kind of North Sea home: a Persian runner down the hall of an old cottage, a large Oriental in a new summer house, an inherited piece in a year-round family room.
With the right care these rugs outlive their owners, but rough treatment shortens their life. Spinning machines can stretch knots, shrink the cotton backbone and make dyes run, so ours are washed by hand.
Our crew takes the rug away free of charge, goes over it with you, and return it clean and ready to lay down.
Look before washing. We turn the rug over to see how it was knotted, check the fringe and side cords, and point out worn, thin or moth-eaten areas so you know about them up front.
Sun is a quiet problem in bright bay-side rooms. A rug near a big window fades unevenly, and washing brightens it but cannot put faded color back. Turning the rug around once a year spreads the light more evenly.
Grit is the loud problem. Sand and bits of needle sink to the foundation, and every footstep grinds them in. Shaking it out from the back before the bath removes most of that wear-causing dirt.
The bath itself uses a gentle wool-safe soap, plenty of fresh water and patient hand work, after we have checked that the reds and blues will hold. Drying happens on a flat surface indoors.
Moths go after rugs in houses closed for the winter. Moths skip clean wool, which is why many owners send rugs out before they shut the house.
In a home with dogs, put fine rugs where the dog does not usually lie, or keep a washable rug in its favorite spot. Pet urine is one of the hardest things for wool and natural dyes to recover from.
A rug pad under a fine rug on hardwood protects the back from rubbing and stops the rug from creeping toward the door every time someone walks in.
Silk gets the lightest touch of all. Factory-made rugs can take the quicker route, see North Sea area rug cleaning.
