Ab Fab Rug Cleaning provides fine area rug cleaning, care and repair services for Persian, Oriental, and Contemporary rugs in Salisbury.
Looking for rug cleaning in Salisbury? All area rugs are cleaned and repaired offsite in our dedicated rug cleaning workshop based just outside Salisbury. For your convenience, we offer rug collection and delivery throughout Salisbury and the surrounding areas.
In our dedicated rug cleaning workshop, we thoroughly dust the rugs using either a mechanical rug duster or compressed air and often a combination of the two methods, to extract all dry soils and dust prior to the chosen cleaning process.
Depending on the type of rug, fibres, dyes, and age we would then use one of the following rug cleaning methods: dry cleaning, low moisture cleaning or full immersion rug cleaning.
Ab Fab Rug Cleaning is a specialist in cleaning both antique and contemporary wool and silk rugs, as well as modern fibres such as viscose, Tencel, and artificial silk.

Our full immersion rug cleaning process in 9 steps
- Assessment & testing
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 - Rug dusting
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. - Rug washing
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. - Fringe cleaning
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. - Rug drying
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 piles on cotton warps.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 industrial dehumidifiers and fans to continuously circulate dry air around the rugs to complete the drying process in just a few hours. - Advanced stain removal
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. - Moth treatment
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. - Air dusting and grooming
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. - Rug packing and delivering
All rugs are inspected, rolled up and wrapped in a breathable rug sleeve, ready for transportation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to clean a rug?
It depends on the type and size of the rug. Send us a message with the rug dimensions and a short description or a picture and we’ll give you a quote straight away.
How long does it take to clean a rug?
We usually allow 10-14 days for the rugs to be returned
How to clean a rug at home?
We do not recommend DIY rug cleaning. If the colours are unstable they will run – usually the reds and the blues migrate into the light surrounding fibres. Rugs made from natural fibres also need to be dried very quickly. We use a centrifuge to extract the water and have a climate controlled drying room to dry all rugs within an optimal timeframe which cannot be done at home
My rug fringes and edges are fraying. Can you repair them?
Yes, we can certainly fix them
