The most common fine Persian rug on Long Island

Tabriz rug cleaning on Long Island

Tabriz rugs are the fine Persian rug we see most in Nassau and Suffolk homes: room‑size, tightly knotted, usually a central medallion on a red, ivory or navy field, often with silk highlights. They are washed at our Farmingdale plant with the full immersion process, with the silk areas handled as silk. Free pickup and delivery across Long Island.

At Green Choice Oriental Rug Cleaning Long Island, every Tabriz rug is cleaned inside our own plant at 44 Executive Blvd, Farmingdale, never on your floor, and never sent out to anyone else.

How to recognize a Tabriz

Tabriz is the capital of Iranian Azerbaijan in the northwest, and its weavers use the symmetric (Turkish) knot rather than the asymmetric knot of central Persia, which you can see on the back as two bumps per knot. The wool is hard‑wearing and the knotting is dense, from about 150 knots per square inch on commercial rugs to 400 and above on fine "raj" pieces. Foundations are cotton, or silk on the very finest. Designs are formal: medallion‑and‑corner, hunting scenes, all‑over Shah Abbas florals, and Mahi (fish) herati patterns, and the palette runs from the classic red‑navy‑ivory to the softer pastels of 1980s and 90s production.

The Tabriz rugs in Long Island homes, in Great Neck, Roslyn, Garden City, Rockville Centre, Huntington and Smithtown, are overwhelmingly 8×10 to 10×14 medallion rugs bought between 1975 and 2000, many with silk outlining in the medallion and borders. That silk is what changes the cleaning: wool areas take a normal immersion wash; silk highlights must not be brushed hard, wrung, or dried hot.

What we find on Tabriz rugs

Silk highlights pulled or dulled. A carpet cleaner's rotary brush lifts the short silk knots and leaves them fuzzy and grey. Silk areas need soft brushing with the pile and cool water.

Heavy foundation soil. The dense pile of a Tabriz packs sand into the cotton foundation, and because the wool is hard, the rug looks acceptable long after it is filthy underneath. Dusting from the back is where a Tabriz gives up two to four pounds of grit.

Pet urine in the ivory field. Pastel and ivory‑ground Tabriz rugs show urine yellowing quickly. Decontamination soak before the wash.

Worn ends. Tabriz ends have a short kilim finish that wears through; once it goes, knots fall from the medallion end first. Secured before washing.

Detergent residue. Tabriz wool has a slightly dry hand to begin with; residue from a floor cleaning leaves it stiff and dull. A clear rinse fixes it.

How Green Choice cleans a Tabriz at 44 Executive Blvd

A wool Tabriz gets the full five‑stage plant wash. The changes are at the silk highlights, which are brushed softly, and at the ends, which are secured first. All‑silk Tabriz rugs follow the silk process instead.

1

Inspection and dye test

Symmetric knot confirmed, silk highlights mapped, ends and sides checked. Each color dye‑tested; reds on older Tabriz rugs are tested longer. UV check for urine. Firm price approved.

2

Dusting from the back

Face‑down through the dusting machine at a firm setting; Tabriz wool tolerates it and the dense foundation needs it. Several passes until the soil stops coming.

3

Cold immersion wash

Submerged in cool water with a neutral wool solution. The wool pile is brushed with the grain; the silk highlights are worked with a soft sponge only. Urine rugs are soaked first.

4

Rinse until clear

Flushed until the water runs completely clear, so the hard wool comes back soft rather than stiff.

5

Centrifuge and flat dry

Spun briefly, then dried flat with the pile groomed. Silk highlights are brushed by hand as they dry so they regain their sheen.

Tabriz repairs

  • End stopping and kilim‑end rebuilding.
  • Selvedge rewrapping.
  • Reweaving of moth damage in matched hard wool, with silk where the design calls for it.
  • Padding cut to size.

Tabriz rug cleaning questions

Will the silk highlights on my Tabriz be damaged?

Not in a plant wash: silk areas are worked with a soft sponge, kept cool, never wrung, and brushed by hand as they dry. They are damaged by rotary floor cleaning.

Is my Tabriz wool or silk?

Most Long Island Tabriz rugs are wool with silk outlining. An all‑silk Tabriz is rare and very fine; we confirm at inspection with a fiber test.

How much does Tabriz rug cleaning cost?

$4 to $6 per square foot, so about $430 to $650 for a 9×12. Urine treatment and end repairs are extra.

How long does it take?

Seven to ten days for a wool Tabriz; ten to fourteen if it is all silk.
