Job completed for Haines Falls Persian Rug Cleaning and Color Restoration

This rug was picked up with the express purpose of cleaning and repair. The rug is a Persian Tabriz deteriorating all over.

The first two pictures show the following damage:

-All floral motifs within the field have moth damage which has destroyed the rug

-Edging is completely deteriorating and requires new binding

-Fringe is completely decaying requiring new fringe implant

Jafri Rugs does the following for cleaning and repair:

Pre-Inspection & Fiber Testing

Before washing begins:

• Identify fiber content (wool, silk, cotton, jute, blends)

• Test dyes for color stability

• Check for weak areas, repairs, fringe condition

• Evaluate stains, pet odors, or prior chemical damage

Organic cleaning is customized—no one-size-fits-all approach.

Dry Soil & Dust Removal

This is critical and always chemical-free:

• Rug is gently dusted or vibrated

• Removes embedded sand, grit, and allergens

• Prevents abrasion during washing

Skipping this step shortens a rug’s lifespan.

Organic Pre-Soak (If Needed)

For heavily soiled rugs:

• Uses plant-based, biodegradable solutions

• Helps loosen soil without stripping oils from wool

No enzymes, bleach, or synthetic detergents.

Hand Washing with Organic Cleaners

The core of the process:

• Cool or lukewarm water only

• Plant-derived soaps (often olive oil shampoo)

• Gentle hand agitation in the direction of the pile

• Extra care around fringes and worn areas

Safe for antiques and naturally dyed rugs.

Thorough Rinsing

• Multiple clean-water rinses

• Ensures no soap residue remains

• Prevents re-soiling and stiffness

Organic washing focuses on complete removal—not masking odors.

Natural Deodorization & Odor Neutralization

If needed (especially for pets):

• Uses natural odor neutralizers

• Breaks down odor sources instead of covering them

• Safe for wool, silk, and antique fibers

This step is key for urine and smoke odors.

Low-Stress Water Extraction

• Gentle extraction methods

• No aggressive wringing or spinning

• Prevents stretching, warping, or shrinkage

Controlled Air Drying

• Dried in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment

• Flat drying or proper hanging

• No forced heat or sun exposure

Prevents mold, dye bleeding, and fiber damage.

Final Grooming & Inspection

• Pile brushed for uniform appearance

• Fringe aligned (never bleached)

• Final quality check for cleanliness, odor, and texture
