Specialist care for Persian, Afghan, Turkish and other handmade rugs, with pickup and drop-off in Christchurch and nearby areas, customer drop-off and collection available, and NZ-wide courier service.

Our Rug Cleaning Services

Professional cleaning removes dust, dirt, and contaminants that gradually weaken rug fibres over time. Our specialised cleaning process is designed for delicate handmade rugs and natural wool materials.

Our services include:

  • Deep cleaning for handmade and wool rugs
  • Removal of embedded dust and dirt from fibres
  • Stain treatment and odour removal
  • Gentle washing methods suitable for natural dyes
  • Careful drying to preserve the rug’s structure and shape

Regular professional cleaning helps maintain the appearance, softness, and durability of your rug for many years.

Rug Repair & Restoration

Over time, even high-quality handmade rugs may require repair due to wear, heavy use, or accidental damage. Our repair and restoration services focus on preserving the original craftsmanship and extending the life of the rug.

Our repair services include:

  • Fringe repair and replacement
  • Edge binding and reinforcement
  • Hole and tear restoration
  • Reweaving damaged sections
  • Structural repairs for worn areas

Each repair is carried out with careful attention to maintaining the original design, materials, and weaving technique.
