We clean both of them every week — Navajo flatweaves from Colorado collections and Turkish kilims from Anatolian tribal traditions. To most people they look similar: flat, geometric, bold, beautiful. Both get called flatweaves and treated as if they belong to the same cleaning category. They don't. The construction differences between a Navajo weaving and a Turkish kilim are fundamental — in loom type, warp structure, edge finishing, fiber, and how color areas meet each other. And every one of those differences affects how they must be professionally cleaned. Here's what separates these two great flatweave traditions, and why knowing the difference before you start washing is the whole job.
Facebook Marketplace has become one of the best places in Boulder to find a genuine hand-knotted Persian rug at a fraction of its real value. A $3,000 Persian for $200. A genuine tribal kilim for $75. A room-size Afghan piece for $150. We know this because our clients bring them to us every week. But before that rug goes on your floor — there's something most people don't think about when they pull it out of a stranger's car trunk. You don't know where it's been. Pet dander, dust mites, moth eggs, mold spores, chemical residue from years of consumer cleaning products — all of it invisible on the surface, all of it embedded deep in the pile. Here's what professional Persian rug cleaning in Boulder actually removes, and why it's the most important step between a Marketplace find and a rug you can live on with confidence.
If you've been searching for Persian rug cleaning in Boulder — or Persian rug cleaning near me — we want to show you something. This Persian Tabriz just came through our door. Silk on silk. Crimson field. An all-over garden composition populated with birds, animals, and flowering vines of extraordinary detail — rendered in silk pile at a knot density that photographs can barely capture. It is one of the most remarkable pieces we've had on our wash floor in recent memory. And cleaning it required everything we know. Here's what a silk on silk Tabriz demands from a professional cleaner — and why sending one to a carpet cleaner is a risk no owner should take.
