Nomad Rugs is pleased to provide a wash and repair service.

Wash

We provide an expert hand-wash service for all rugs. Rugs are washed with soap and water. No harsh chemicals are used. The cost for washing most carpets and kilims is $5.50 per square foot with a minimum charge of $40 per rug. Because of the additional care needed, all viscose, silk or wool/silk blend carpets cost $8.00 per square foot to wash.

Not only do clean rugs look better but clean rugs also last longer! It is generally recommended that your hand knotted or hand woven rug be washed every three to five years. And although a rug may not look dirty it still could be dirty. If you whack a corner of your rug and dust poofs out, it is time to wash your rug!

Here is a list of rates for cleaning all wool carpets (Navajo rugs, wool/silk blend or all silk rugs necessitate an additional charge):

2’x3′ or smaller $40 minimum per rug.
3’x5′ $80
4’x6′ $130
5’x7′ $190
6’x9′ $300
8’x10′ $440
9’x12′ $600

Bring your rug by the shop and we will have it ready for you in one to two weeks. Pet stains or other severe stains will necessitate an additional charge for deodorizing. Storage fees are $2.00 per item per day applied to rugs left for longer than 30 days. We regret that we are unable to provide home pick-up or delivery service for rug washing and repair. For suggestions on what to do in the event you spill something on your rug, check out this write-up.

Repair

For small repairs, bring your rug by the shop for an estimate. Most repair jobs are completed within two weeks. Typical repair jobs include securing lose fringe, rebinding worn edges and securing or reweaving small holes. Rugs must first be washed by our team before any repair work can begin.
