Preserving the Past: The Importance of Gentle Oriental Rug Cleaning with Haugland Brothers
Oriental rugs are not just floor coverings; they are intricate works of art handcrafted with centuries of cultural heritage woven into their fibers.

Haugland Brothers understand the significance of preserving the beauty and value of oriental rugs, so we take pride in offering specialized and gentle cleaning services for these cherished pieces.
Why Be Careful with Oriental Rug Cleaning?
- Delicate Fibers and Dyes: Oriental rugs are often made of natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton, which can be sensitive to harsh cleaning methods or chemicals. Improper cleaning can cause irreversible damage, fading, or bleeding of colors, diminishing their aesthetic appeal.
- Intricate Weaving: The intricate weaving of oriental rugs requires delicate handling to avoid unraveling or loosening the threads. Aggressive cleaning techniques can weaken the rug’s structure and lead to fraying or tears.
- Cultural Significance: Oriental rugs often hold cultural significance and are passed down through generations. Cleaning them with care ensures their historical importance and sentimental value remain intact.
