Genuine oriental rug specialists are rare in Oklahoma City. Most rug cleaning advertised in OKC is actually carpet cleaning equipment used on area rugs — which is exactly the wrong tool for any hand-knotted oriental piece. Fred Remmers Rug Cleaners has been serving OKC clients with off-site, hand-finished oriental rug cleaning since 1881. We pick up across the entire metro and return the rug 7 days later, hand-finished and properly dried.
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.
Free pick-up across the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Most rugs are returned within 7 days from pick-up. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.

Common questions about oriental rug cleaning in Oklahoma City.
Where in OKC do you offer pick-up?
Free pick-up throughout the OKC metro: Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, Bethany, Nichols Hills, Midwest City, Choctaw, and the surrounding communities.
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.
Why send my oriental rug out instead of using a local OKC cleaner?
Most OKC carpet cleaners use equipment designed for fastened wall-to-wall carpet — which is the wrong approach for any hand-knotted oriental rug. Off-site specialist cleaning means dye-stability testing, hand-dusting, and controlled drying that local equipment cannot deliver.
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.
Available across five metros.
