Jafri Rugs specializes in professional cleaning, repair, and restoration of Turkish woven rugs, Oriental rugs, Persian rugs, antique rugs, vintage rugs, and handmade area rugs.

Turkish woven rugs require specialized care because their fibers, dyes, weaving techniques, and foundations can vary significantly from rug to rug. At Jafri Rugs, every Turkish rug is individually inspected so we can recommend the appropriate cleaning or restoration process.

Whether your rug needs routine cleaning, stain removal, fringe repair, reweaving, or extensive restoration, our experienced rug specialists provide professional care designed to preserve its beauty and structural integrity.

Turkish Woven Rug Cleaning

Dirt and dust can become deeply embedded within the weave of a handmade Turkish rug. Over time, abrasive particles can contribute to fiber wear and deterioration.

Our professional Turkish rug cleaning services can address:

• Embedded dirt and dust
• Food and beverage stains
• Pet stains and odors
• Everyday soil and grime
• Discoloration
• Moth-related contamination
• Flood and water damage
• Unpleasant odors

Before cleaning, we evaluate the rug's fibers, dyes, construction, age, and condition to determine the safest cleaning method.

Our Turkish Rug Cleaning Process

Inspection & Evaluation

Every rug begins with a detailed inspection. We look for stains, fading, loose threads, worn areas, fringe damage, unraveling, foundation problems, and other conditions that could affect cleaning.

Dust & Soil Removal

Dry soil and abrasive particles are carefully removed before washing. This helps protect the rug's fibers from additional wear during the cleaning process.

Specialized Rug Washing

Turkish woven rugs are cleaned using techniques appropriate for their individual construction and materials. Special attention is given to antique rugs, delicate fibers, and potentially unstable dyes.

Stain & Odor Treatment

Problem areas can receive specialized treatment for stains, pet accidents, odors, and other contaminants while taking the rug's materials and dyes into consideration.

Controlled Drying

After cleaning, excess moisture is removed and the rug is dried under controlled conditions. Proper drying helps reduce the risk of mildew, shrinkage, dye migration, and distortion.

Final Quality Inspection

After cleaning and drying, the rug receives a final inspection to ensure that the cleaning process has been completed properly and the rug is ready to return to your home.

Turkish Woven Rug Repair & Restoration

In addition to professional cleaning, Jafri Rugs provides Turkish rug repair and restoration for rugs affected by age, wear, pets, moths, water, and accidental damage.

Our restoration services include:

• Turkish rug reweaving
• Hole and tear repair
• Foundation repair
• Fringe repair and replacement
• Edge binding repair
• Moth damage repair
• Missing pile restoration
• Structural stabilization
• Color restoration

Turkish Rug Reweaving

Damaged sections of a Turkish woven rug can sometimes be restored through hand reweaving. Our craftsmen carefully reconstruct damaged areas while working to match the original weave, fibers, colors, and patterns.

Reweaving can help restore both the appearance and structural integrity of rugs with holes, tears, or missing sections.

Turkish Rug Fringe Repair

Fringe is an important part of a rug's foundation. When fringe becomes worn, loose, or damaged, the underlying foundation can become vulnerable to further unraveling.

Jafri Rugs provides professional Turkish rug fringe repair and replacement, as well as edge and binding repair, to help stabilize damaged areas.

Antique Turkish Rug Cleaning & Restoration

Antique and vintage Turkish rugs require additional attention because age can weaken their fibers and foundation. Historic dyes may also require specialized handling.

Our specialists evaluate antique Turkish rugs individually and select cleaning and restoration techniques appropriate for their age, materials, construction, and condition.

Himalayan Rug Cleaning Process

1. Inspection & Pre-Treatment
The rug is examined for stains, wear, color stability, fiber condition, and structural damage before the cleaning method is selected.

2. Deep Dust Removal
Specialized equipment is used to remove deeply embedded dust and dry soil before washing. This is important because abrasive particles can contribute to fiber wear.

3. Soaking & Stain Treatment
The rug may be soaked to loosen embedded dirt, pet stains, odors, and other contaminants. Heavily soiled rugs may require additional treatment.

4. Specialized Rug Washing
Jafri washes rugs on both sides using specialized vegetable soaps and shampoos, with the cleaning approach adjusted for the individual rug.

5. Thorough Rinsing
The rug is carefully rinsed to remove dirt and cleaning residues.

6. Controlled Drying
After washing, the rug is properly dried before it is returned to the customer. Jafri also provides pickup and delivery in many of its service areas.

Himalayan Rug Repair & Restoration

If cleaning reveals damage, Jafri Rugs also offers fringe repair, binding repair, color correction, reweaving, and restoration for fine rugs.

For a valuable or antique Himalayan rug, professional evaluation before cleaning is especially important because improper cleaning can potentially affect delicate fibers, dyes, or the rug's foundation.

Professional Woven Rug Cleaning and Repair at Jafri Rugs

Expert Cleaning for Woven Rugs

Dirt, dust, pet hair, stains, and other contaminants can become embedded deep within the weave of a rug. Over time, abrasive particles can contribute to fiber wear and deterioration.

Our professional woven rug cleaning process is customized according to the rug's materials, construction, age, dyes, and overall condition.

Our Woven Rug Cleaning Process

1. Detailed Inspection

We examine the rug for stains, wear, loose threads, color stability, fringe damage, edge deterioration, moth damage, and other structural concerns.

2. Dust and Soil Removal

Dry soil and abrasive particles are carefully removed before washing. This important step helps prevent embedded dirt from causing additional wear to the rug's fibers.

3. Specialized Washing

Each woven rug receives a cleaning method appropriate for its individual construction and fiber type. Delicate wool, silk, antique, and handmade rugs require specialized treatment to help protect their colors and structure.

4. Stain & Odor Treatment

Stains, pet accidents, odors, and other problem areas are treated according to the rug's materials and condition.

5. Controlled Drying

After cleaning, the rug is thoroughly dried under controlled conditions. Proper drying helps reduce the risk of mildew, excessive moisture, shrinkage, and dye migration.

6. Final Inspection

Once cleaning is complete, the rug is carefully inspected to ensure it has been properly cleaned, dried, groomed, and prepared for return.

Woven Rug Repair & Restoration

Woven rugs can develop damage from years of use, furniture, pets, moths, water exposure, or improper handling. Our woven rug repair and restoration services are designed to address both cosmetic and structural damage.

Depending on the condition of your rug, restoration may include:

• Hand reweaving
• Hole repair
• Tear repair
• Foundation repair
• Fringe repair
• Fringe replacement
• Edge binding repair
• Moth damage repair
• Missing pile restoration
• Color restoration
• Hooked rug repair

Woven Rug Reweaving

When sections of a woven rug have been damaged or lost, hand reweaving can reconstruct the affected area. Skilled craftsmen carefully match the existing weave, fibers, colors, knots, and patterns as closely as possible.

Reweaving may be used to repair holes, tears, worn sections, and areas affected by moth or water damage.

The goal is to restore the rug's structural integrity while maintaining the character and appearance of the original handmade piece.

Fringe & Edge Repair

The ends and edges of a woven rug are particularly vulnerable to wear. Damaged fringe, loose foundation threads, and unraveling edges can become increasingly serious if left untreated.

Our woven rug fringe repair and edge binding services help stabilize these areas and prevent further deterioration.

Antique & Handmade Woven Rug Restoration

Antique and vintage woven rugs require additional care because their fibers and foundations may have weakened with age. Restoration techniques are selected carefully to preserve as much of the original material and craftsmanship as possible.

Our specialists can evaluate antique woven rugs for cleaning, structural repairs, fringe restoration, reweaving, and other conservation needs.

1.Inspection and
Identification: Jafri Rugs carefully inspected to assess the extent of the
moth damage. This involves checking the front and back of the rug for signs of
infestation.

·       
Moth Treatment: The rug would be treated
to eliminate any remaining moths and eggs. This usually involves a deep
fumigation process using eco-friendly chemicals or freezing the rug to kill any
pests.

·       
Re-weaving or Repairing Damaged Areas:
The affected areas would likely require Jafri’s weavers reweaving the entire
field. The damaged wool would be carefully removed, and new wool fibers,
typically dyed to match the original, would be woven into the affected areas to
restore the rug's appearance.

2. Worn and Faded Areas of the
rug

As an example the medallion is a
central feature in Persian rugs, and significant wear or fading can take away
from the rug’s beauty and value.

·       
Color Restoration: To restore the faded vegetable
and chrome dyes, Jafri’s first class weavers dyeing techniques may be employed.
This could involve carefully re-dyeing the 
area using natural dyes or color-safe synthetic dyes. This process is
done with precision to match the original hues and avoid dye bleeding.

·       
Reweaving/Restoration: If the medallion’s
pattern is worn down to the point of damage, Jafri’s weavers had to reweave the
intricate design. This involves painstakingly replicating the original design
and colors.

3. Fringe and Binding
Unraveling

The fringe and the binding are
crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic of the rug.

·       
Fringe Repair or Replacement: The
unraveling fringe would need to be reattached or replaced, depending on the
extent of the damage. Jafri’s weavers often restore the fringe by knotting it
back into place using similar fibers (wool or silk, depending on the rug’s
original material). If the fringe is too damaged, it might need to be
completely replaced.

·       
Binding Reinforcement: The edges and
binding would also be repaired. This could involve stitching new binding
material (usually wool or cotton) onto the rug’s edges, followed by a careful
reinforcement of the stitching to prevent further unraveling. A careful color
match is essential to keep the aesthetic intact.

4. Wool Pilling

Pilling happens when fibers get
tangled and form small balls of fuzz, which can occur naturally over time with
wool rugs.

·       
Shaving the Rug: Pilling can be removed
through a careful process of shaving. Special tools or razors designed for rugs
are used to gently remove the pill without damaging the fibers underneath. The
professional would carefully go over the rug to ensure the pilling is removed
evenly, leaving the wool in good condition.

·       
Deep Cleaning: After shaving off the
pilling, the rug would undergo a deep cleaning to remove any remaining loose
fibers and dirt. This would also help restore the softness of the wool.

Additional Steps in the
Restoration Process:

·       
Deep Cleaning: Once the repairs are done,
the rug would be carefully cleaned using appropriate techniques for Persian
rugs. This would likely involve hand-washing the rug with a gentle, wool-safe
detergent to remove dirt, oils, and any debris, followed by rinsing and drying.

·       
Final Inspection: After repairs, the rug
would undergo a final inspection to ensure that all issues (moth damage, wear,
pilling, etc.) have been properly addressed. Any minor touch-ups or final
adjustments would be made.

A Caucausian sumac of this quality is threadbare and quite valuable. The rug in its former condition was destroyed and there were remnants of the original medallions throughout the field and borders. This rug was from the 1800's and is over 200 years old. The fringe and binding was tearing apart and the field was also worn.

The first image shows the rug in very poor condition with fringe and binding work required as it was fraying.

-Refringing as the fringe is torn off

-Rebinding as the binding is unraveling

-Vegetable dyes are fading
