Cleaning & Repair - Antique Malayer Hamedan Rug

A new customer of ours brought in a beautiful rug that needed some attention. The rug was a Malayer Hamedan rug and was 100 years old. It needed a professional deep cleaning as well as repair work done. Both ends and sides were in different stages of unraveling and needed securing and rebinding to get it's structure sound again. Take a look at some before pics below:

We first secured the rugs ends and sides to prevent any further unraveling from happening while we proceeded with the deep cleaning. After the deep cleaning, sanitizing and deodorizing was complete we put the rug in the hands of one of our master weavers so that the repairs could be completed. New Zealand wool was used for the sides and the work was all done by hand. The results are fabulous; take a look below:

This antique Malayer Hamedan rug now looks absolutely beautiful and is in great condition. The owners were actually speechless for a minute when they saw how good the rug looked after the cleaning and repairs.  They have since contacted us again to pickup a set of rugs they also have that need the same great attention to detail that Rug Ideas is known for. If you have a rug that needs some TLC, contact us at Rug Ideas so we can step you through your options for cleaning & repair!

Custom Rug Job - Fringes Turn Into Binding

A Nepal Rug was brought in to our showroom by a customer who needed it cleaned recently. It is a beautiful 9 x 13 handmade rug that we had set up to go through our deep cleaning to bring back the color vibrancy as well as bring back the fluffiness to the pile. While our customer was filling our her paperwork she mentioned how much she hated the fringes on both ends, which had slowly been eaten away by many years of vacuuming and foot traffic. Take a look below:

We let our customer know that she could do a custom job on the rug to remove the fringes and sew binding on both ends. She was amazed that we could do that type of custom job and immediately placed the order to make it happen. The rug first went through our deep cleaning to get it totally cleaned, sanitized  and  deodorized. Once it was completely dry and ready we started to work on the binding. All the work was done by hand by one of our master weavers. We color matched the yarn(we use top of the line New Zealand wool) and the results came out fantastic. Take a look below:

Our customer was thrilled with how the rug turned out and cannot wait to get it back onto her living room floor. It is now clean, vibrant and now is a totally unique piece to be enjoyed for many years to come. Bring your custom jobs to Rug Ideas where our expertise translates into smiles for our customers!

Video Testimonial - Area Rug Cleaning/Repair

An area rug was brought in by a customer who first wanted to have the rug deep cleaned, sanitized and deodorized. There was also a pretty larger hole in the middle of the rug she wanted repaired. Once we started talking in our showroom she also mentioned how the fringes on her rug were quite an eyesore and asked if there was anything we could do about it. We have seen this problem many times and had a few options for her, for which she opted to have the fringes replaced so as to improve the aesthetics of the rug. Take a look at the before pics below:

We did the deep cleaning right away so when it came back we could start the repairs. Once the rug was cleaned the hole was the first thing patched. Now that the rug was mostly in one piece we went to work on replacing the fringes. One of our master weavers did the attaching all by hand and the results came out great. Take a look below:

Our customer was so happy with the results she offered to give us a video testimonial (see top of page). We love being able to help our customers with whatever their rug needs are. If you have a rug that needs cleaning or repair come in and talk to us to see what options are available to you. Smiles are all around at Rug Ideas!
