What is included
Carpet and rug cleaning by fibre. Wool, silk, viscose and synthetic each get their own chemistry and drying time. A hand knotted silk rug and a nylon office carpet have nothing in common except that both hold dust. We identify the fibre and construction first, then choose between shampoo, hot water extraction and low moisture methods so colours stay true and the pile recovers.
- Overdye tested for colour transfer on a white cloth
- Thin vintage pile and worn areas checked
- Cool, dye safe clean with a quick rinse
- Fast flat drying, fringes cleaned gently
How we carry out vintage overdyed rug cleaning
An overdyed rug starts as a vintage Persian or Anatolian piece whose old colours are stripped back and redyed in a single vivid modern shade. The result is striking, but the overdye is not always as stable as an original dye, and the pile is often thin and worn by design. The technician tests the colour with a damp white cloth for transfer and checks the thin areas and the foundation before any cleaning begins.
The rug is cleaned cool, with a dye safe solution, and rinsed quickly so the colour has no time to move, then dried flat and fast. Worn areas are handled gently, since they cannot take brushing. Overdyed rugs fade in strong sunlight, so where one lies in a sunny room we suggest turning it every few months to keep the colour even.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.
Vintage Overdyed Rug Cleaning in Rihan Heights: what we plan for
Rihan Heights is a group of high rise residential towers above landscaped podium gardens, close to Zayed Sports City and the Grand Mosque. In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Open ground around the sports grounds and the main roads means fine sand reaches every terrace and window track. Closer to Khor Al Maqta, humidity rises in summer, and condensation forms on cold AC ducts in roof spaces and ceiling voids.
Rihan Heights and the apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Private villas are reached with the owner's agreement. Any approval for exterior work is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the community asks for.
