Care for Every Fibre

Persian carpets and rugs deserve thoughtful cleaning. Our approach focuses on careful handling, traditional handwashing and protecting the character and colours of each piece. For clients in Cape Town, South Africa, we take particular care with handmade carpets that need specialist attention.

Assessment

Know the Carpet

Every carpet is different. Before cleaning, the condition, fibres, colours and areas needing special attention are considered carefully.

Handmade carpets need gentle treatment to help protect their colours and construction.

Careful Finish

Clean & Protected

After cleaning, the carpet is handled with care so it can be properly finished and presented at its best.

The aim is simple: a refreshed carpet without losing the character that makes it special.

“Good cleaning protects the beauty of the carpet — it does not take it away.”
