Brio Carpet Care provides fine area rug cleaning, care and repair services for Persian, Oriental, and Contemporary rugs throughout Winchester Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, London, Surrey and West Sussex.
Most area rugs are cleaned and repaired offsite in our dedicated rug cleaning workshop based just outside Winchester, and for your convenience, we offer free rug collection and delivery throughout Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, London, Surrey and West Sussex.
In our specialized rug cleaning and restoration workshop, we meticulously dust the rugs using a mechanical rug duster or compressed air, frequently employing both methods, to remove all dry soils and dust before proceeding with the selected cleaning process.
Depending on the type of rug, fibres, dyes, and age we would use one of the following rug cleaning processes: full immersion rug cleaning - our preferred method and the one that's been used to clean rugs for thousands of years , low moisture cleaning, or even dry cleaning.
Brio Carpet Care is an expert in cleaning both antique and contemporary wool and silk rugs, as well as modern fibers such as viscose, Tencel, and artificial silk.

Our full immersion rug cleaning process in 9 steps
Our rug cleaning process begins with a thorough assessment to determine the type of rug (hand-knotted or machine-made), fibre type (natural like wool, cotton, silk, jute viscose etc or man-made like nylon, polypropylene, etc), known stains or problem areas. We also test for dye stability to assess the risk of colour run. Based on all this information, we decide on the most appropriate rug cleaning method
Often overlooked, dusting is a vital step in the rug cleaning process. Natural rug fibres are great at hiding dirt, grit and dust particles. We remove them before starting the wet cleaning process by placing the rugs face down onto dusting grids and gently beating the back with a dedicated mechanical machine. This thorough dusting procedure removes all foreign particles from deep down the rug pile.
The dust-free rugs are taken to the wash floor where they are immersed in a rug cleaning solution and cleaned with a gentle brush on a rotary rug cleaning machine and then thoroughly flushed and rinsed.
Often made of cotton, oriental rug fringes are in fact an integral part of the rug, a continuation of the rug warps.
The rug cleaning process wouldn't be complete without giving the fringes the much-needed attention. Often fragile, we clean them by hand with an individually tailored cleaning solution for the best results.
All Persian and Oriental rugs are made of natural fibres like wool, cotton, or silk and very often a combination of them. Like for example wool pile on cotton warps on a Persian Nain rug or silk on silk on a vintage Quom rug.
Because of their nature, these fibres are very absorbent, so professional equipment and special conditions are needed to dry the rugs in optimal time. Leaving a rug too wet for too long could lead to problems like cellulosic browning of the cotton warps and fringes, colour run or dye bleed, and so on.
We extract up to 95% of the water from rugs before hanging them in our dedicated drying room.
The rug drying room is equipped with a climate control system, industrial dehumidifiers and fans to continuously circulate dry air around the rugs to complete the drying process in just a few hours.
While the wash floor provides the most comprehensive rug cleaning, some stains may require advanced stain removal techniques to maximize the likelihood of complete stain elimination.
Moths are one of the most fierce Oriental and Persian rug enemies, as the moths' larvae feed on the wool rug pile permanently damaging the rugs. We now offer an optional mothproofing treatment for all hand-made rugs we clean
By this stage, the rugs are clean and dry, but because we like to do things properly we put the rugs through an additional light air dusting process to remove any potential dust particles from the rugs and do a final pile grooming before packing them ready for delivery
All rugs are inspected, rolled up and wrapped in a breathable rug sleeve, ready for transportation.
