Ahmadi Rug has been Chicago’s most trusted name in professional rug cleaning. Whether it’s a museum-grade Persian masterpiece or your everyday heirloom, we clean every rug by hand — with precision, care, and over 40 years of expertise.

OUR15 STEP CLEANING PROCESS

No steam. No harsh chemicals. Just handwashing, perfected over decades:

Inspection

Assess the rug’s condition, identifying areas that require special attention.

Rug dusting

Lay the rug face down and use a specialized machine to beat the back, dislodging dust and particles.

Vacuuming

Vacuum the rug’s back and surface to remove remaining debris.

Gentle pressure rinsing

Rinse the rug with gentle water pressure to remove surface dirt.

Back shampooing

Shampoo the rug’s backside, repeating this step 2-3 times or more, depending on the rug’s condition

Flip and extract

Turn the rug over and extract dirty water from the surface.

Surface shampooing

Shampoo the rug’s surface, repeating this process at least four times, depending on dirtiness. Rinse and extract water after each shampooing cycle.

Rolling and drying

Roll the rug and place it in a drying system that removes 99.99% of water within 90 seconds, preventing odor and color bleeding.

Pile brushing

Lay the rug flat and brush the pile in the correct direction.

Air drying

Hang the rug in a room temperature area to dry naturally, avoiding temperature-controlled environments that can cause odor and color issues.

Blocking

In thicker piled rugs and oriental rugs, it’s common for the fibers to shrink. By blocking, we bring the original shape of the rug back again.

Shearing

Trim fuzzy fibers in thicker rugs to restore their original appearance.

Fringe trimming

Neatly trim the tips of the fringes.

Final vacuuming

Perform a final vacuuming to remove any remaining debris.

Final inspection

Conduct a thorough examination to ensure the rug meets quality standards.

Linda Braasch

I can’t speak highly enough of Bobby and Ahmadi Rug! I am beyond thrilled with their service and the end product of their work. Before we called Ahmadi Rug, we had significant damage done to our handmade, wool rugs from small clothing moths. I called several rug cleaning services and none came close to the level of expertise, service, and kindness I experienced with Bobby.He knew just what to do for our situation and ended up both cleaning and repairing our three rugs. They look great now and I’m so happy. He was patient and clearly an expert in his field. Their prices are very fair and they did pick-up and delivery of the three rugs. I highly recommend Bobby and Ahmadi rug to everyone!
