Tulsa's oil-era Persian collections are among the most significant in the southwestern United States. The mansions of Maple Ridge and Brookside hold Tabriz, Heriz, Kashan, and Isfahan pieces brought back from major buying trips of the 1910s through 1930s — many original to the homes themselves. These antique Persians require the most conservative cleaning approach: no hot water, no aggressive chemistry, dye testing on every color, and patient handling throughout. Generic methods damage them irreversibly.
Persian rugs require the most conservative cleaning approach within the oriental category. Knot densities of 300, 500, even 800 knots per square inch are common in city pieces from Tabriz, Isfahan, and Qom. Many use natural vegetal dyes that react badly to the harsh chemistry chain rug cleaners use. Silk highlights are routine in fine pieces; full-silk construction is common in the most valuable. We test every color for dye stability, use cool water, and apply conservative chemistry throughout.
Free pick-up across the Tulsa metropolitan area and Northeast Oklahoma. Most rugs are returned within 7 days from pick-up. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Hand cleaning for every Persian regional tradition.
Each Persian weaving region has distinct knot density, materials, and cleaning sensitivities.
Tabriz
Northwestern Iranian city rugs, known for the highest range of knot densities. Frequently incorporate silk highlights.
Kashan, Isfahan, Nain, Qom
Central Iranian city rugs — fine wool on cotton foundation, often with silk highlights. Qom is frequently full-silk.
Heriz, Bijar
Northwestern village rugs with bold geometric patterns, robust construction, and durable wool. Traditionally rust-red madder dyes.
Mashhad, Kerman
Eastern and southeastern city rugs with curvilinear floral designs. Often higher pile and softer wool.
Hamadan, Senneh
Western village and town rugs, traditionally single-wefted construction. Generally robust but older pieces require gentle handling.

Common questions about Persian rug cleaning in Tulsa.
Where in Tulsa do you offer Persian rug pick-up?
Free pick-up throughout Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Bartlesville, and surrounding Northeast Oklahoma communities.
How is Persian rug cleaning different from regular oriental cleaning?
Persian rugs typically have higher knot density, often use natural dyes that can be fugitive, and frequently include silk highlights. These factors require gentler chemistry, slower wash cycles, and dye-stability testing on every color.
Are antique Tulsa Persian rugs more demanding to clean?
Yes — significantly. Antique Persians have weakened foundations, often-fugitive natural dyes, and aged wool that requires gentle handling. Many Tulsa antique pieces have not been properly cleaned in decades. We approach every antique Persian with conservative methods.
Can you clean a silk Persian rug?
Yes — silk and silk-highlighted Persians are part of our regular work. Silk requires low-pH chemistry, cool water, and shortened wash cycles to prevent fiber damage.
How long does Persian rug cleaning take?
Most Persians take 7 days from pick-up to delivery. Antique or silk pieces may take longer because conservative methods cannot be rushed.
