Persian rugs are one of the oldest existing forms of tapestry art that we
know of. With more than 2,500 years of creating these one-of-a-kind
masterpieces, the unique designs, colors, and knotting cannot be
matched. They can also only be obtained from one area in the world,
Iran, which had belonged under the expansive former Persian Empire. All
of these factors also make Persian rugs one of the most expensive options
for floor coverings, easily reaching price tags of thousands of dollars with
some retailing into the millions.
That said, when you spend the time and money to choose such an
exquisite piece of art, you cannot leave it in the care of an average or
inexperienced rug cleaning company. Many standard rug cleaning
procedures, tools, and cleaners can damage the delicate silks, types of
cottons, and wools used in your Persian rug and erase its naturally
derived colors of purples, blues, oranges, and reds. The hard bristles can
also shred the threads and create damage that leads to tears and holes in
your rug. When you own a rug as beautiful and brilliant as a Persian rug,
it’s important that you place in the care of professionals who not only use
delicate methods that removes tough stains while maintaining the
integrity of the rug, but who are also knowledgeable on the unique
artistry of the original designs and can replicate the original craftsmanship
to make repairs that will be almost impossible to spot. If you own a
