Tibetan rugs are admired for their handcrafted construction, natural fibers, distinctive designs, and traditional weaving techniques. Because many Tibetan rugs are handmade from wool or silk, they require specialized cleaning and repair to help preserve their fibers, colors, weave, and overall condition.
At Jafri Rugs, we provide professional Tibetan rug cleaning, repair, reweaving, fringe repair, and restoration for handmade, antique, vintage, and contemporary Tibetan rugs.
Each rug is individually inspected before cleaning or repair to determine the appropriate treatment based on its fiber, construction, dyes, age, and condition.
Over time, dust, dirt, stains, pet odors, and other contaminants can become embedded deep within a Tibetan rug. Professional cleaning helps remove these contaminants while protecting the rug's handmade construction.
Our Tibetan rug cleaning services can address:
Before cleaning, each rug is carefully inspected for stains, fading, loose threads, worn areas, fringe damage, moth damage, water damage, and other structural concerns.
The rug's fiber type, dyes, construction, age, and condition help determine the appropriate cleaning process.
Dust, dirt, grit, and other dry soil are removed before washing. This important step helps reduce abrasive particles that can contribute to fiber wear.
Depending on the rug's condition, specialized pre-treatment and soaking may be used to loosen embedded soil, stains, pet contamination, and odors.
Antique and delicate rugs receive additional care during this stage.
Jafri's professional rug-cleaning process includes washing both sides of rugs using specialized soaps and shampoos, followed by thorough rinsing. The process is adjusted according to each rug's materials and construction.
After cleaning, the rug can be carefully groomed to help restore the appearance and texture of the fibers.
Proper drying is an important part of professional rug cleaning. Jafri uses controlled drying procedures designed to help protect rugs from moisture-related problems and unnecessary fiber damage.
Every rug receives a final inspection after cleaning. If additional treatment is necessary, further cleaning or restoration can be recommended.
Tibetan rugs can develop holes, tears, worn areas, damaged fringe, loose edges, and weakened foundations through years of use.
Jafri Rugs provides professional Tibetan rug repair and restoration, including:
When a Tibetan rug has a hole or severely worn section, hand reweaving may be used to reconstruct the damaged area.
The repair process can involve matching the original fibers, colors, weave, and pattern as closely as possible while rebuilding the damaged section by hand.
The objective is to create a strong, natural-looking repair while preserving the character and craftsmanship of the original rug.
Fringe can become worn, pulled, frayed, or completely detached over time. Because fringe may be connected to the rug's foundation, damaged fringe should be addressed before unraveling progresses into the body of the rug.
Jafri provides fringe repair and replacement, along with edge and binding restoration, to help stabilize the rug and protect its foundation.
The foundation of a handmade rug provides much of its structural strength. Damaged warp, weft, edges, or binding can cause a rug to weaken or lose its shape.
Professional restoration can stabilize these areas and, when appropriate, reconstruct damaged sections using materials selected to complement the original rug.
Antique Tibetan rugs require particularly careful handling because age can make their fibers and foundation more fragile.
Jafri Rugs specializes in cleaning and restoring handmade, antique, wool, silk, and other specialty rugs, with the treatment selected according to the condition of each individual piece.
The goal of antique rug restoration is not simply to make an old rug look new. Proper restoration should preserve its original craftsmanship, character, and historical appearance.
Moths can damage wool fibers and create holes or weakened areas throughout a rug. Water and flood damage can also affect fibers, dyes, and the rug's foundation.
Jafri's rug-cleaning process specifically provides additional care for moth-eaten and water-damaged rugs, making professional evaluation an important first step when a Tibetan rug has experienced significant damage.
Jafri Rugs has more than four decades of experience in rug sales, cleaning, and restoration and specializes in handmade Oriental rugs. The company imports handmade rugs from Tibet as well as Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, India, China, and Nepal.

Regular professional cleaning can help remove abrasive dirt before it contributes to unnecessary fiber wear. Addressing loose fringe, damaged edges, holes, and weakened foundations early can also help prevent further deterioration.
With proper Tibetan rug cleaning, repair, and restoration, a handmade rug can continue to provide beauty and function for many years.

I bless the day I found Mr Jafri. As one who has collected rugs for 50 years, I both learned about their value and origins and had them beautifully cleaned and repaired.
Very beautiful rugs there, would have been a difficult decision. Only needed a rug pad this time. When we're in the market again, this is where we'll go. Pete, Delmar, NY
