Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care is a Prescott Valley-based company that specializes in the cleaning and restoration of fine Oriental rugs, including Persian rugs. These exquisite pieces, often dating back centuries, are renowned for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and luxurious textures. However, the very qualities that make Persian rugs so captivating also present unique challenges when it comes to cleaning.

 

Pre-1930s Dyes: A Delicate Balance

Persian rugs crafted before the 1930s often employ natural dyes derived from plants and insects. While contributing to the rug's rich hues, these dyes are also susceptible to fading, bleeding, and staining. Improper cleaning methods can damage these delicate dyes, which are dull and lifeless the rug.

Fiber Fragility: A Delicate Touch

Persian rugs are traditionally made from wool, silk, or both. Wool, while resilient, can become brittle with age, making it prone to tearing and fraying. On the other hand, Silk is exceptionally delicate and requires gentle handling to prevent damage.

Construction Complexity: Unveiling the Hidden

The intricate construction of Persian rugs, often featuring multiple layers of finely knotted fibers, presents further challenges. The inner layers, unseen to the naked eye, can harbor dirt, dust mites, and other allergens that can trigger respiratory problems. Thorough cleaning necessitates careful disassembly and meticulous attention to detail.
