We avoid using machine binding, surging, and adhesives on hand-woven oriental rugs. These shortcuts, while economical, often destroy the aesthetics, value, integrity, and collectability of oriental rugs. Worse, it reduces the overall longevity of oriental rugs. We have a wide variety of experience working with woven rugs and textiles Persian, Turkish, Afghan, Egyptian, Navajo, Mexican, Rio Grand, hand hook, and Braided rugs.

It is a pleasure to do business with a person who loves their work. Quality of work excellent, and the owner is very knowledgeable about rugs. He understands that a rug is not just for foot traffic but that it can tell a story, is a part of ones life. He is a true craftsman. Highly recommend. Service: Area rug cleaning

Renaissance Rug Cleaning is wonderful. For over 20 years I have collected Oriental rugs, primarily antique tribal rugs. This year Renaissance Rug Cleaning has provided me with over 15 rug pads and cleaned and repaired a fragile antique tribal rug. The repair and cleaning was top rate. The rug pads are also top rate but the cleaning and repair of my favorite antique tribal rug is why I am writing this recommendation.

I have been holding their business card in my wallet for years. Now that I'm moving I thought this would be a perfect time to get my rugs cleaned. They did a great job. My experience, here in Portland, is getting a quick response from a business and they were very responsive. They picked my rugs up, and dropped them off for $40. What a great deal, I don't own a car so Uber would have been more. Great Service! Thank you.

People who value fine rugs (Persian, or other) can trust Randy and his crew for their knowledge and delicate care. They do a fine job in cleaning and restoring such rugs, while paying exquisite attention to details. Randy (the owner) understands the value of such pieces of art, and treats them artfully.

We had an emergency with a massive stain on our rug. We called another rug cleaning company that we had used for over 20 years and they were less than helpful. First, they really could not give us any suggestions of what to do at home and second, they were totally unavailable to pick up the rug for a week. We found about Renaissance and called them.
They were wonderful. We received instructions on what to do on an urgent basis (it worked) and then they picked up the rug that day. The delivery folk were wonderful. The cleaning was superb. They were able to clean the wool and silk rugs so it looked new. Well we now know who to call!

Dye leaked from a pet mishap. Did not think it was cleanable because of the maroon bleed into beige. Got the rug back yesterday, I am amazed at the fantastic job. Looks brand new with no evidence of stain. Absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend. Services: Pet stain and odour removal, Area rug cleaning

It takes a special kind of person to do this intricate detail oriented work. Renaissance Rugs, owners & employees, possess an "Encyclopedia Britannica" knowledge base that covers the history, geography, culture, manufacturing process, repair protocol, cleaning protocol, along with an artistic ability to address anything about your beloved rugs. They are enthusiasts.
Do yourself a favor and take a tour. I was enthralled by all they do. Oriental carpets are heirlooms that need periodic cleaning and repairs. Insure that your precious rugs will be treated correctly and with loving respect. Go see the amazing folks at Renaissance Rug Cleaning.

We have been so pleased with all the services from Renaissance Rug Cleaning. We live in Washougal, WA and have some oriental rugs of a large size that are too difficult for us to move, transport and reset after cleaning. Renaissance is willing for a very nominal fee to delivery the rug after cleaning and place in the room where it has come. We also have used them to repair two rugs that belonged to my grandmother so much be over a hundred years old.
They did on both of these rugs a beautiful job: one needed work on binding and the other needed some thin, weak areas rewoven. You will not be disappointed with their work or service ---- very pleasant family people with which to deal.

Renaissance Rug Cleaners are fabulous to work with. Very knowledgeable about how to care for your rugs. I brought in 4 rugs that had been stored dirty for over a decade and they came back looking great! They even did a few minor repairs that I couldn't even tell had been repaired. I'll be using this company from now on for sure!

Really, this is the place to take your fine rugs. Those handwoven ones you treasure. The natural dyes that you worry will be damaged anywhere else. Those special knots or fine fringe. Renaissance Rug Cleaning is the best. Their hand washing techniques respect the integrity of the rugs that were made to be so beautiful. I have taken my lovely Turkish rug, woven in a yurt from local natural dyes, to be cleaned twice in about 8 years.
Both times they did an excellent job. The staff will measure carefully, look deeply for any issues, identify your rug with great accuracy, and do minor repairs included in the wash price. (I assume they do more extensive repairs for customers, but I have not needed that) Their pricing is fair and their process careful and thorough. The website shows their washing and drying techniques.
If you value the artistry and cultural/historical beauty of your area rugs, you will take them here. They do a wide range of types of rugs, (synthetic dyes too, I think) and it's an education to drop off or pick up your rug to see what else others are bringing in. They also pick up from your home, if you need that. A great company. I have no worries taking my rug there. Am exceedingly pleased with the outcome.
