With all the bad news they brought, we brought some hope with our 59 years of expertise. The good news is that they brought the rug in right away once the problem happened. Letting this kind of problem sit means that the bleeding might set in and the damage could become permanent. Stain Removal is what we were going to have to do, but a good cleaning would need to come first. The Kashan rug went through our deep cleaning process, which first requires dusting of the rug to remove and debris that might turn into mud once water hits the rug, then color stabilizers to prevent further color bleeding. It then was completely wet washed using specialty shampoo made just for Oriental rugs. Once it has been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed it dries naturally under the sun. After the cleaning we had to do multiple steps of stain removal to get out the bleeding that occur when the owners originally washed the rug themselves. This process is time consuming and requires light applications, with time to the application to set in, then  further applications to get the ivory color back. Great care had to be taken so as not to lighten any other color or designs on the rug. Take a look at how fantastic this Kashan rug turned out below:
