Why Oriental Rugs Need Specialist Cleaning
An Oriental rug is not just a floor covering. It’s a hand-crafted work of art — often made from natural wool, silk, or cotton, using natural dyes that have taken decades to achieve their depth and richness. Standard carpet cleaning methods — steam cleaning, dry cleaning, rotary machine washing — can permanently damage these characteristics.
The risks of incorrect cleaning include:
- Color bleeding or dye run — natural dyes are water-sensitive and must be tested before washing
- Fiber shrinkage — wool and silk contract differently when exposed to heat or harsh detergents
- Pattern distortion — machine agitation can pull hand-knotted fibers out of alignment
- Foundation damage — the warp and weft threads can weaken if not properly supported during washing
The Knotting Company uses a specialist hand-wash process that has been trusted by rug collectors and interior designers across Cape Cod for over a decade.
