A very nice Persian Heriz was brought in for a cleaning and repair of a sizable hole and a few other small areas of wear. We've washed the rug thoroughly to remove all dirt and dust and in the coming weeks our repair team will take of the holes and the rug will be as as good as new! Stay tuned for after photos of the Persian Heriz.

Expert Rug Cleaning

Fine rugs can be preserved and passed down from generation to generation with a little expert care.

Our cleaning and restoration services can bring out the hidden beauty of soiled rugs, as well as re-pile worn areas of otherwise well piled rugs. Main Street Oriental Rugs has facilities to handle all of your cleaning needs.
We offer 3 types of washes:
  • Regular Wash (for ordinary upkeep)
  • Super Wash (Heavy soil, grime, spills and stains)
  • Disinfectant Wash (Pet stains, Chemical Spills, Mildew, etc.)

We guarantee to clean your carpets to your complete satisfaction; otherwise, we will re-clean your carpet at no additional cost to you.

Our method for cleaning your precious rugs uses a blend of modern equipment and traditional hand cleaning.

DUSTING: Because of the dense pile construction of area rugs, dirt particles work their way down through the fibers into the backing foundation of the rug where they cannot be removed by ordinary vacuuming. Dusting is an important step in the cleaning process. When necessary we use an age old procedure that has proven to be the most thorough in dust removal, known as rug beating.


SHAMPOOING: A thorough hand shampooing of your rug using specially formulated oriental rug shampoo to lift debris and eliminate odors.

RINSING: We purge your rug with clean, cool water, assuring that all shampoos, dirt, and grime are removed leaving your rugs as clean as possible.

DRYING: Following tradition, we hang your rug in our climate-controlled warehouse and allow it to dry naturally.

POST DETAILING: Final spotting to remove any foreign matter possible will be done with safety considerations towards the fibers and dyes as a priority.
