Knowledge

At Carpet Art, we understand that a carpet is more than just a decorative piece. It is a valuable heirloom with both emotional and financial value. That's why we offer professional carpet cleaning, carpet repair and appraisal. Our goal is to preserve the beauty and durability of your carpet with artisanal and traditional techniques.

Carpet cleaning - Manual and safe for any carpet

A carpet collects dust, dirt and stains over time, which can lead to discoloration and wear. Our manual carpet cleaning is performed with natural cleaning agents from Iran, specially designed to safely clean carpets without causing damage.

Our unique cleaning method:

✔ Thorough dust removal (dust whipping): Removes deep-seated dirt and sand without damaging the carpet.

✔ Triple soap treatment:

• First soap: Provides deep cleaning and removes stains.

• Second soap: Prevents color fading and protects carpet dyes.

• Third soap: Adds extra shine and freshness to the carpet.

✔ Full manual process: All steps are done by hand to maintain the quality and structure of the carpet.

✔ No damage guaranteed: Thanks to our expertise in different carpet types, wool qualities and dyes.

We guarantee that your Persian carpet, Oriental carpet or hand-knotted carpet will not be damaged during the cleaning process!
