Specialist Rug & Wool Cleaning in London
Carpetix provides specialist rug cleaning across London, using WoolSafe-approved formulations matched to each fibre type. From Persian hand-knotted weaves to modern synthetic rugs, we clean deeply without shrinkage, colour bleed or damage.
Rug types we clean
Every rug is different. Before we apply any chemical, we identify the fibre, test for colour-fastness, and select the correct cleaning method. No single-solution approach.
Persian & Oriental rugs
Hand-knotted silk and wool weaves requiring careful low-alkaline chemistry
Turkish & Afghan rugs
Dense pile tribal rugs cleaned with fibre-safe pre-sprays
Modern synthetic rugs
Polypropylene and nylon rugs - high-extraction safe

Extra grooming and air-moving for long pile fibres
Stair runners
Edge-to-edge extraction along every step tread
WoolSafe-approved chemistry
All cleaning agents we use on wool and natural fibre rugs carry the WoolSafe seal of approval. This independent standard means the product has been tested to be safe for wool fibres, leaving no alkaline residue that would damage delicate pile or cause yellowing over time.
Rug cleaning questions
Can you clean a valuable or antique rug without damaging it?+
Yes. We begin with a fibre and dye test before any chemical is applied. For antique and hand-knotted rugs we use low-moisture, pH-neutral solutions that are safe for natural dyes and delicate foundations. We will always advise if a rug is better sent to a specialist bath-wash facility.
How long does a rug take to dry after cleaning?+
Most rugs are touch-dry in 3 to 6 hours with our air-moving finish. Very dense pile or natural fibres may take a little longer. We groom the pile on completion to speed airflow and prevent any flat-pack drying pattern.
Do you clean rugs on-site or take them away?+
We clean most rugs in situ. For very delicate or large rugs that need a controlled environment, we can arrange a pick-up and return service. Get in touch and we will advise on the right approach for your rug.
