Nashville has one of the fastest-growing oriental rug markets in the Southeast. Transplants moving into Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin, and the surrounding counties bring inherited collections from the Northeast, the Midwest, and abroad — pieces that often haven't been professionally cleaned in years. Add to that the longtime Tennessee collectors with serious holdings, and it adds up to one of the most diverse oriental rug cities in the South.
Oriental rug cleaning is fundamentally different from carpet cleaning. Hand-knotted construction means natural fibers (wool, silk, cotton) and often natural dyes that react badly to harsh detergents, hot water, or aggressive scrubbing. We test every color for dye stability before any wet cleaning, hand-dust to remove embedded grit, hand pre-treat any stains, and wash by full immersion when the construction allows or surface methods for delicate pieces. Drying is in a controlled-humidity room.

Common questions about oriental rug cleaning in Nashville.
Where in Nashville do you offer pick-up?
Free pick-up across Nashville, Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Hermitage, Goodlettsville, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee counties.
What counts as an oriental rug?
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted rugs woven in the regions historically called the Orient — from Turkey through Iran, the Caucasus, Central Asia, India, Tibet, and China. The defining characteristic is hand knotting, not country of origin alone.
I just moved to Nashville with a rug from up north — is the climate different for cleaning?
Nashville is humid most of the year, similar to Memphis. Rugs that have lived in dry climates (Denver, Phoenix, the Northeast in winter) sometimes show condition changes when they move here — accumulated dust comes loose, and dye stability can shift. We adapt our cleaning approach for transplanted rugs.
How often should I have my oriental rug cleaned?
Hand-knotted oriental rugs typically need professional cleaning every 3 to 5 years. High-traffic areas, homes with pets, and humid climates shorten the recommended interval.
How long does oriental rug cleaning take?
Most oriental rugs take 7 days from pick-up to delivery. Heavily soiled or repair-required pieces take longer. We always provide a written estimate with specific timeline before any work begins.
