At Grand Oriental Rug Gallery, we understand your rugs are precious possessions and represent sizable investments.
Rugs have been woven in China for centuries, but Chinese rugs were made almost exclusively for domestic use, and thus, were not widely known to the West until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. What is unique about Chinese rugs in this aspect is that because they were unaffected by outside demand, they retained their distinctly Chinese identity - featuring elements of Chinese culture and belief such as linear/geometric designs, lotus flowers, fish, dragons, good luck symbols, and Buddhist/Taoist motifs. The heyday of Chinese rugs came in the 1920s Art Deco period, when China began to open up to the world and design shifted toward bright, bold colors such as magenta, lapis blue, and emerald green - in lieu of the softer tones like ivory, beige, and blue, and featured a mix of traditional Chinese and new designs. Typically, rugs of this period are classified as Fette or Nichols designs, and were largely woven in the cities of Tientsin and Peking (Beijing).
We use a complete submersion process as it is the most effective method for Oriental rug cleaning. After all, your Chinese rug did not get this far without good reason! Whether it's a family heirloom or a historic Ming carpet, we specialize in the cleaning of Chinese rugs. Among the things that remain are a host of impurities that have accumulated over time. Dirt and grime settle deep in the pile of your carpet, along with hair, pet dander, bacteria, dust mites, and other contaminants, making your carpet an ideal breeding ground for potential allergies and respiratory issues. While food/drink and pet stains are more noticeable, most of the impurities will be embedded deeper in your carpet, making them more difficult to remove. In short, what you may think is a clean carpet could actually be a carpet that is harboring a host of germs and allergens, and you don't even know it. Contact us for all your all of your Chinese rug cleaning and restoration needs.

The carpet is then totally soaked and submerged in cool water, mixed with a mild organic shampoo.
