Rug Cleaning Atlanta
Professional Hand-Wash Cleaning for Persian, Oriental, Oushak & Wool Rugs
Your Rug Deserves More Than a Carpet Cleaner
Most rug cleaning companies in Atlanta clean carpets. Surena Rugs cleans rugs and there’s a real difference.
Whether you’re searching for professional rug cleaners, area carpet cleaning near me, or a specialist for a Persian or antique rug the answer depends on what kind of rug you own. We specialize exclusively in handmade area rugs: Persian rugs, Oriental rugs, Turkish rugs, antique rugs, vintage runners, wool rugs, silk rugs, and round rugs. Every rug we clean is washed entirely by hand at our facility using traditional methods passed down through decades of working with fine handmade textiles.
We do not clean machine-made rugs. We do not clean wall-to-wall carpet. And we never come to your home to steam clean a rug in place because that’s not actually cleaning it.
If you own a rug worth protecting, you’ve found the right place.

The Problem With "Rug Cleaning Near Me"
Search for rug cleaning in Atlanta and you’ll find plenty of carpet cleaning companies that say they also clean rugs. Most of them use the same steam cleaning equipment on your handmade Persian rug that they use on office carpet.
Here’s why that’s a problem.
Handmade rugs whether they’re a 100-year-old Persian, a Turkish Oushak, or a quality wool area rug are made from natural fibers. Wool, silk, and cotton behave nothing like synthetic carpet. Steam cleaning forces high-temperature moisture deep into natural fibers, which can cause dyes to bleed, wool to shrink or felt, and foundations to weaken. Rugs that cost thousands of dollars have been ruined this way.
The only safe way to clean a handmade rug is full immersion hand-washing, followed by flat drying. That’s what we do. Every time.
Why Atlanta Homeowners Trust Surena Rugs
We Know Handmade Rugs From the Inside Out
Surena Rugs has been part of Atlanta’s rug community for decades. We don’t just clean rugs we sell them, restore them, and understand exactly how they’re made. When our technicians inspect your rug before cleaning, they’re reading the rug: identifying the fiber type, the dye process, the origin, the age. That knowledge changes everything about how the rug gets washed.
6 Reasons Customers Choose Us:
- Hand-washing only, no machines. Every rug is washed by hand using pH-balanced, wool-safe solutions. No brushing machines. No steam. No shortcuts.
- Free pickup in Atlanta. You don’t have to figure out how to roll and transport a heavy rug. We come to you.
- Specialist knowledge of Persian & Oriental rugs. We understand hand-knotted construction, natural vegetable dyes, and antique foundations. Your carpet cleaner does not.
- Flat drying — always. Hanging a wet rug distorts the shape and stresses the foundation. Every rug we clean is dried flat in a controlled environment.
- Pet odor and stain treatment included when needed. We use enzyme-based treatments designed for natural fibers not the same products used on synthetic carpet.
- We also repair what we clean. Fringe damage, edge binding, re-weaving, re-knotting. If your rug needs more than cleaning, we can handle it in one visit.

Our 6-Step Hand-Washing Process
Every rug at Surena Rugs goes through the same careful process, regardless of size or value.
Step 1 — Inspection & Fiber Testing We examine your rug’s material, weave structure, dye stability, and overall condition before a single drop of water touches it. If dyes are unstable, we adjust the cleaning approach to prevent bleeding.
Step 2 — Deep Dust Removal Embedded grit and dust particles are the leading cause of premature rug wear. Before washing, we use a combination of soft-air dusting and controlled vibration to remove hidden debris from inside the pile. No abrasive brushing. No machine beating.
Step 3 — Full Immersion Hand Wash The rug is submerged and hand-washed using pH-balanced, wool-safe shampoo with continuous water flow. This is the same method used by master rug washers for generations. It lifts dirt, odors, and staining without harming dyes or weakening fibers.
Step 4 — Rinse, Odor Treatment & Dye Protection We rinse until the water runs completely clear — a detail that separates a real rug wash from a surface cleaning. Pet odor enzyme treatment and dye stabilization are applied at this stage.
Step 5 — Flat Drying The rug is laid completely flat to dry in a temperature-controlled space. This preserves the rug’s shape, prevents color migration, and protects the foundation from stretch or distortion.
Step 6 — Grooming, Fringe Detailing & Final Inspection Once dry, we brush the pile, hand-detail the fringes, and inspect the rug under bright light. You get it back looking refreshed, softer, and clean the way it should look.

What Our Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Posted on Mark DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel fortunate that we found Surena Rugs. We happened by after visiting a number of other rug stores, none of which had what we wanted in terms of size, color, style and price. Surena didn't have it either, but what set them apart was that Faye listened very carefully as we described our criteria and said that she would do her best to find a suitable solution. Not long after, she had two beautiful rugs for us to choose from, both of which worked well and were great values. We were very pleased with the entire process, and, Faye was wonderful to work with. Can't recommend them enough.Posted on Julie StannardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Faye was wonderful to work with.

Highly recommended.Posted on Rosanna BertheolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Three years ago I was in Atlanta and bought a New Zealand hand-knotted wool rug for my dining room. Moe, the owner of Surena Rugs, was very kind and patient as I was choosing the perfect rug for my home. I had the rug shipped to me (I live in Northern California). It arrived promptly and the rug is perfect in my dining room. After not being able to go to Atlanta and our most recent trip being cancelled, I reached out to Surena Rugs to find a runner that would complement the dining room rug. Faye, the other owner of Surena Rugs, was so helpful. She went beyond my expectations to help me. I explained to her what I wanted and sent her a photo of my dining room rug. After looking at rugs at her showroom, she sent me a photo of the runner she thought would work. The rug looked perfect. Faye shipped the rug to me, it arrived and is absolutely perfect! I highly recommend Surena Rugs. The craftsmanship and quality of the rugs are impeccable.What is even more special is the excellent service you will receive when looking and purchasing the perfect rug(s) for your home.Posted on Kate StrothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Rug Cleaning Pricing
Every handmade rug is different. Pricing depends on size, fiber type, level of soiling, pet damage, and any repair needs. We don’t publish per-square-foot rates because a silk antique rug and a modern wool rug of the same size require completely different levels of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rug cleaning and carpet cleaning? Carpet cleaning uses steam or hot-water extraction equipment designed for synthetic wall-to-wall carpet. Rug cleaning real rug cleaning involves full immersion hand-washing at a facility, with fiber-specific solutions and flat drying. The two processes are completely different. Using carpet cleaning methods on a handmade rug can cause dye bleeding, fiber damage, and structural problems.
Is steam cleaning safe for Persian or Oriental rugs? No. Steam cleaning is not safe for handmade rugs. High heat and moisture can cause natural dyes to bleed, wool fibers to felt or shrink, and foundations to weaken. Traditional hand-washing is the only safe method for Persian, Oriental, antique, and other natural-fiber rugs.
How often should I professionally clean my area rug? Most handmade rugs benefit from professional cleaning every 3–5 years, depending on foot traffic, pets, and environmental conditions. Rugs in high-traffic areas or homes with pets may need cleaning more frequently.
Do you offer pickup and delivery in Atlanta? Yes. We offer free pickup and delivery for customers within Atlanta. For Metro Atlanta, we charge a flat $70 fee for pickup and delivery. You can also drop off your rug at our showroom at 631 Miami Circle NE, Atlanta.
How long does rug cleaning take? The standard turnaround is 5–7 days. This allows time for proper washing, controlled drying, and final grooming. Rushing the drying process can damage rugs we never do it.
Can you remove pet urine odor from a handmade rug? Yes. We use enzyme-based odor treatments specifically formulated for natural fibers like wool and silk. These are very different from the products used on synthetic carpet. Pet odor removal is included as part of our standard cleaning process when needed.
Do you clean antique rugs? Yes. Antique rugs require the most careful handling of any textile we work with. We test dyes, inspect foundations, and use the gentlest possible techniques to preserve the rug’s patina, character, and structural integrity.
What types of rugs do you NOT clean? We do not clean machine-made rugs or synthetic wall-to-wall carpet. Our facility and expertise are built exclusively for handmade area rugs, runners, and natural-fiber textiles.
