Jafri Rugs specializes in Kilim rug color run correction and dye bleeding treatment, helping restore rugs affected by unwanted color transfer. Kilim rugs are traditionally handmade using carefully selected fibers and dyes, and improper cleaning, moisture, flooding, or excessive humidity can sometimes cause colors to bleed into surrounding areas.
When colors run, it is important to address the problem carefully. Attempting to remove dye bleeding with household cleaners or aggressive chemicals can make the discoloration worse or damage the rug's original fibers and dyes.
At Jafri Rugs, each Kilim rug is carefully inspected before treatment. We evaluate the rug's fibers, dyes, construction, age, and extent of color migration to determine the appropriate correction process.
Our Kilim color run correction services may address:
Dye bleeding can significantly affect the appearance of a Kilim rug. Our specialized cleaning and correction process is designed to carefully treat affected areas while protecting the rug's original character. Because every rug reacts differently, treatment methods are selected according to the specific dyes and fibers involved.
Water exposure is a common cause of color running. Flooding, leaks, excessive moisture, or improper washing can cause dyes to migrate from one section of the rug into another. Jafri Rugs can evaluate water-damaged Kilim rugs to determine whether color correction, cleaning, drying, or additional repair is appropriate.
Color run correction may sometimes reveal additional damage caused by moisture or improper cleaning. Jafri Rugs also provides professional Kilim rug cleaning and repair, including fringe repair, edge repair, reweaving, and restoration of damaged areas when needed.
If your Kilim rug has experienced dye bleeding, color running, or color transfer, professional treatment can help determine the safest way to address the problem without unnecessarily compromising the rug.

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
