Oriental & Area Rug Cleaning and Repair in Gayville

Jafri Rugs Persian and Oriental rug cleaning process is customized to the rug's fiber, age, dyes, and condition. The typical process includes:

1. Inspection & Pre-Treatment

   • The appropriate cleaning method is selected based on the rug's construction and materials.
2. Deep Dust Removal

   • Delicate rugs receive customized treatment to protect dyes and fibers.

   • Rugs are washed on both sides using gentle, fiber-safe shampoos and traditional hand-washing techniques.
   • Antique, Persian, Oriental, silk, and wool rugs receive specialized care to preserve their colors and texture.
5. Thorough Rinsing
   • The rug is completely rinsed to remove dirt, soap, and cleaning residues, helping maintain softness and preventing rapid re-soiling.
6. Water Extraction & Drying
   • A centrifugal extraction system removes most of the moisture.
   • Rugs are then dried in a climate-controlled environment to help prevent shrinkage, mildew, and color bleeding.
7. Brushing, Grooming & Protection
   • Fibers are brushed back into their natural direction.
   • Fringes are cleaned and groomed.
   • Protective treatments against mold, moths, and insects may be applied when appropriate.
