Professional Oriental & Area Rug Cleaning Service
You’ve made an investment into your oriental rug, so a professional rug cleaner makes a big difference! Oriental rugs and other fine floor coverings are made to last for generations, so long as they are properly cared for by a trained professional oriental rug cleaner. We have a custom-built full-service rug cleaning and drying shop, and we offer a pick-up/delivery service for Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and throughout the rest of the Triad.Professional Oriental & Area Rug Cleaning Process
- Dry soil removal. We use a specially designed oriental rug cleaning device called a Rug Badger to gently and thoroughly dislodge all dry embedded soil in your oriental rug. This is an essential step that many carpet and rug cleaning firms skip.
- Colorfastness testing. We use several liquids of varying pH levels to test the colorfastness of oriental rug dyes, meaning we test if the fabric color fades or bleeds. If any dye migration is detected, we can apply dye-locking agents, or move on to dry cleaning.
- Cleaning. If there is no danger of dye migration, we will use one of our several wet cleaning methods along with one of several dry cleaning methods we like to use. We also have a custom-built Oriental Rug Stretching Rack that we designed and built to keep rugs in their original shape while being cleaned. This allows us to wet clean the most exotic handmade oriental rugs without the danger of shrinking. We also feature a new patented invention of ours called The Evacuator, which allows for an incredibly thorough cleaning!
- Drying. For oriental rugs that are in danger of shrinking, we leave them on the Stretching Rack to dry. For oriental rugs that are in danger of dye migration, we place them on a flat surface and blow clean air over and under them until dry. For all other rugs, we raise them on our custom-designed Drying Racks. We’re proud to be able to bring this kind of oriental and Persian rug cleaning & maintenance to Greensboro!

How To Care For and Deep Clean Your Oriental rug
How you treat your rugs in-between cleanings is so important to maintain their value and beauty for your enjoyment. Therefore, as a professional cleaning business, we took the time to put together some rug tips just for you!
- Vacuum your rug regularly but turn off the beater bar to prevent tears or runs in the delicate fibers
- Don't put plants on Oriental rugs. When you take the rug up later, a circle pops out from the plant because the pad doesn't allow air to circulate. (This can cause mildew and dry rot on your specially chosen rug!)
- Rotate your rug from time to time to allow for more evenly distributed wear (especially in a high-traffic area)
- Block sunlight - over time, sunlight can cause the dye in your rug to fade
- Spot-clean a spill as soon as it happens. Dab the stain with a dry cloth to soak up the spill. Be careful what products you use: soap or bleach and many other common cleaners in your home can damage the rug fibers. Use water to clean the stain and if it doesn't work, contact Zimmerman for professional and safe removal of the stain
- Placing a pad under your Oriental rug helps keep the rug in place and can minimize wrinklingWe recommend having your Oriental rug washed by our certified methods every 1-3 years to prevent dust, dirt, and urine odor buildup and to restore the rug's natural fibers
- To avoid mold and mildew, try to hang your rug outside every six months (or if your rug suffers a spill)
- Flip your rug to allow the fringe to straighten out more naturally (don't "comb" the fringe)
