From your front door to our Yatala facility and safely back again. This is the real process, not a quick spray.
Why a Persian rug needs a specialist, not a carpet cleaner
You have an old hand-knotted Persian, maybe inherited from a grandparent, that has not been properly cleaned in decades. It looks fine from a distance, but it holds a lot of deep dust, and after a humid SE QLD spell the room feels stale from a musty smell soaked into the wool. You have let a steam cleaner have a go and it only freshened it, because that is not the sort of clean a real Persian needs. Now you are nervous, because the rug is sentimental and irreplaceable, and you are terrified of handing it to someone who treats it like a normal carpet job.
A carpet cleaner with a van can ruin a fine rug
One-size-fits-all carpet machines are the number one cause of rug damage. Here is exactly what goes wrong.

Specialist care, not a quick spray
Your rug is collected and brought to our dedicated washing facility, where it is hand-assessed and cleaned by fibre, then dried under control. A deep, safe clean that protects the rug you love, backed by 29 years and a free re-wash guarantee.
Built to protect your rug
Made from delicate natural fibres and rich dyes, a Persian is easily damaged by traditional steam, so we never use it. Every rug is gently washed by full immersion on our wash floor, with the method matched to the fibre, never a hot blast over your colours.
Every rug is tagged at pickup with a documented chain of custody and washed at our own dedicated Yatala facility, never hosed in a van or done on your floor. You get your rug returned, fully insured, never a swap.
For 29 years we have washed rugs, not carpets, and our IICRC-certified technicians fibre-test and identify wool, silk or antique construction before any water touches it. You get an honest assessment up front, including when a rug is not worth cleaning.
Our full immersion hand-wash lifts decades of grit out of the base of the pile, then the rug is dried flat under controlled conditions so the wool cannot shrink or felt. It comes back softer underfoot with the colour looking even again.

No shortcuts and no guessing. Your rug moves through the same specialist system every time, from your front door and safely back again.
Standard turnaround 7 days door to door, or 48-hour service on request.

Common questions
Can a Persian rug be steam cleaned?
No. Made from delicate natural fibres and rich, often vegetable-based dyes, a Persian rug is easily damaged by traditional high-heat steam, which can run the dyes and harm wool or silk. We never steam clean. Instead we gently hand-wash by full immersion at our dedicated Yatala facility, with the method matched to the fibre, the careful clean a hand-knotted rug actually needs.
Do Persian rugs need special cleaning?
Yes. A hand-knotted Persian is wool or silk, hand-dyed and usually irreplaceable, so it is a completely different category from machine-made carpet. A surface steam only freshens the top while deep dust and odour stay packed in the pile. We fibre-test every rug, then immersion-wash it on a proper wash floor, so it is genuinely clean rather than just freshened over.
How to clean a very dirty Persian rug?
An old rug that has not been washed in decades carries grit deep in the base of the pile that a vacuum and a surface steam will never reach. The proper method is a full immersion wash: dust the rug out, fibre and colour-fastness test, gently hand-wash it through, rinse, then dry flat under controlled conditions. We do all of this at our Yatala facility rather than on your floor, so the built-up dust actually comes out.
How often should Persian rugs be cleaned?
As a general guide, a Persian rug in regular use benefits from a professional wash every few years, and sooner if it has picked up a musty smell, a spill or heavy traffic. Regular washing lifts out the grit that grinds away at the fibres and shortens the rug's life. On a low-value machine-made rug we will give you an honest call on whether a wash is worthwhile at all.
How much does Persian rug cleaning cost?
We quote each rug individually, because price depends on size, fibre, condition and any repair needed, so you can see exactly what you are paying for, with no surprise add-ons. Tell us about your rug on the phone or send a photo for a clear quote. Add another rug to the same booking and take $20 off each extra one, so three rugs saves $40 and four saves $60.
