We suggest having a carpet inspected once every four years.

During the inspection we decide the type of treatment necessary; in most cases, the carpet needs deep washing with water to which a softener and moth-repellent have been added.
Before we deliver the carpet to our trusted cleaner, we check the colours and, if necessary, we pre-treat the carpet with a special fixing agent; then, we insure the carpet against any eventuality both during shipping and during the washing procedure.

At our precise request, the cleaner does not use any bleaching products; they only wash the carpet with water, rug shampoo and a moth-repellent; the carpet is spun dry, as opposed to heat drying.

When the carpet is returned to us, it is checked again to see if it needs any restoration.
In some rare cases, the carpets also need other types of treatment: hand washing, de-oxidising or brightening with acetic acid. .
We are contrary to “Antique wash” type ageing treatments, and we do not provide them.

The cost depends on the size, weight and value of the carpet.
For example: the price for washing a new Persian carpet, 300 x 200 cm, insured for a value of €2,500, with softner and moth-repellent is Euro 100.00
