Cleaning and repairing hand-knotted carpets
Handgeknoopte tapijten zijn geen gewone vloerbedekking; het zijn kunstwerken met verfijnde patronen en nauwgezet vakmanschap. Zo’n kleed — vaak oosters van herkomst en gemaakt van wol of zijde — is een investering in schoonheid en geschiedenis. Zoals bij elk waardevol bezit is goede verzorging essentieel voor een lange levensduur en het behoud van het erfgoed.
At Gallery Persepolis, we understand how important it is to preserve these beautiful pieces, which is why we offer a range of expert cleaning and restoration services.

Why Choose a Specialist for Hand-Knotted Rugs?
Hand-knotted rugs are often made from natural materials such as wool and silk and have complex patterns. An incorrect cleaning method can cause damage to the carpet, which can significantly reduce its value.
Deep cleaning
Specialists use advanced techniques to clean deep into the fibers of the carpet and remove dirt, stains and odors. This process ensures that the carpet not only looks fresh again, but also lasts longer.
Colour protection
We use a combination of thorough vacuuming, gentle brushing and a mild cleaning solution. This way, the fibers and colors remain intact.
Color restoration and stain removal
Our methods and tools are carefully tailored to different types of carpets, preserving colors and even bringing them back to life.
Preventing mold and mildew
Carpets can retain moisture, which can lead to the development of mold and mildew. By drying the carpet thoroughly, the risk of mold formation is significantly reduced.
Extending the lifespan
By having your hand-knotted carpet cleaned in a timely manner, you can significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its original beauty.
The Art of Restoration
Even the toughest carpets can wear out over time. Restoration goes beyond cleaning and focuses on repairing damage to maintain structure and beauty. Our experts at Gallery Persepolis use traditional techniques to restore your carpets to their original state.
Repairs
Cracks, holes, and frayed edges and fringes can be carefully repaired using hand-knotting and weaving techniques so that the carpet maintains its structural integrity and visual appeal.
Color correction
Faded colors due to sun exposure or dye fading can be addressed with our color restoration techniques.
Foundation repair
The base, or back, of a carpet provides stability. Worn or damaged underlays can be repaired or replaced by our skilled professionals to ensure that the carpet stays flat and does not warp.
Restoration of fringes
Damaged fringes can interfere with the appearance of a carpet. Our restoration services repair or replace fringes to maintain aesthetic integrity and prevent further damage.

How to Clean a Carpet Yourself
Handmade carpets are works of art that require special care. For the best results, you can trust the experts at Gallery Persepolis. Want to try it for yourself? Then follow this step-by-step guide.
Materials Required
To clean your carpet, you need the following materials:
- Mild carpet cleaner or pH neutral soap
- Soft brush or sponge
- Cold water buckets
- Towels
- Vacuum cleaner with upholstery attachment
- Fans, heaters and dehumidifiers
Preparing the Carpet
Before you start cleaning your carpet, it's important to take a few preliminary steps:
- Vacuum thoroughly: Start by vacuuming the carpet thoroughly on both sides to remove dust, dirt, and loose particles. This prevents dirt from penetrating deeper into the fibers during washing.
- Test the Cleanser: Always test your cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the colors or fibers.
Cleaning the carpet
Cleaning a carpet requires careful attention and precision:
- Mix the Cleanser: Mix a mild carpet cleaner or natural soap with cold water in a bucket. Avoid hot water, as it can shrink the fibers or let the colors run through.
- Apply carefully: Use a soft brush or sponge to apply the solution gently. Work in small sections and always scrub in the direction of the pile, without soaking the carpet.
Rinse and Dry
Cleaning a carpet requires careful attention and precision:
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the carpet thoroughly with clean, cold water to remove any soap residue. This is because leftover soap can attract dirt again.
- Remove Excess Water: Use towels to absorb as much water as possible. Please do this very thoroughly and carefully, because drying a carpet is the most important part. Do not twist or wring out the carpet. This can cause the colors to continue and that the fibers are damaged.
Let the carpet dry properly
- Dry Flat in the Shade: Lay the carpet flat in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause colours to fade and damage fibres. This method is only recommended in warm weather; the warmer, the better.
- Turn it around regularly: To promote uniform drying, turn the carpet occasionally.
- Use Fans or Dehumidifiers: When drying indoors, use (electric) heaters and fans. Dehumidifiers are also useful to accelerate the drying process and prevent mold from forming.
Latest Details
- Restore the Pool: Use a soft brush to gently repair the carpet pile when dry.
- Vacuum Again: A final vacuum helps to raise the fibers and gives the carpet a fresh look.
