Fine rugs in Lake Country homes can lose their color and feel over time as dust, grit, and oils settle into the wool and backing. Shabahang Rug Gallery offers professional rug cleaning for Delafield homeowners, from everyday Oriental pieces to hand-knotted heirlooms. Our team lifts out deep dirt, allergens, and pet dander using gentle washing steps that revive the rug without stressing the fibers.
Every rug starts with a hands-on inspection so we can match the cleaning method to the fiber, dye lot, age, and condition. This same care goes into antique pieces, where each knot and tassel deserves close attention. To book a cleaning, call 262-717-1111 or email [email protected].

HAND WASHING ORIENTAL & PERSIAN RUGS
An Oriental or Persian rug needs more care than a machine-made area rug. Shabahang Rug Gallery hand-washes rugs for Delafield clients using time-tested steps that pull soil from the pile while keeping the fringe, weave, and plant-based dyes safe.
Before any water touches the rug, we look closely at the fibers, knot work, and overall age. From there, we pick gentle shampoos and plant-based spot treatments that fit the rug. Dirt rinses away cleanly, odors fade, and the original color and feel come back without harm.
We never use harsh detergents or bleach. Our antique rug cleaning in Delafield uses pH-balanced washes made to keep the natural lanolin in wool and silk in place. That oil keeps fibers soft and slows fading. For pet accidents, we use enzyme cleaners that break down urine salts at the source, which helps cut out odors and stops long-term damage to the foundation of the rug.
Our Professional Rug Cleaning Process
A rug can look clean from above while still holding years of grit, dander, and sharp particles down in the pile. That is why our antique rug cleaning in Delafield begins with a full inspection that shapes every step that follows. We check fiber type, test dye stability, and look at any stains, since the wrong approach can fade colors or weaken older yarn. Once we have a plan, the cleaning is safe, thorough, and easy to feel underfoot.
- Before we touch a single fiber, we examine each rug for its material composition, colorfastness, stain history, and physical condition to develop the safest possible cleaning plan.
- We go beyond surface cleaning with a targeted dusting process that pulls dry particulates from deep within the fibers, reducing the long-term wear regular vacuuming accelerates.
- Targeted pre-treatment softens and lifts spots and soil areas so the wash can finish the job completely.
- From wash to final rinse, we keep the entire process controlled and thorough so every contaminant comes out completely and nothing unwanted stays behind in the pile.
- We dry every rug in a way that supports its natural shape, protecting color vibrancy and texture so it looks and feels right when it returns to your floor.
- The job is not done until we have reviewed the finished rug from top to bottom, confirmed the results meet our quality bar, and prepared it safely for delivery or customer collection.
