I used Pro Clean for my rental property. The carpet was really dirty, I was concerned that I would have to replace it. Pro Clean was on time, competitively priced and did a terrific job. This family owned business far exceeded my expectations.

Expert Care for Hand-Knotted Oriental, Persian & Fine Wool Rugs
Protect Natural Lanolin, Delicate Vegetable Dyes & Woven Fringe
Fine Oriental, Persian, Turkish, Tibetan, and Karastan wool rugs are woven works of art built to last for generations—when cared for properly. Unlike synthetic wall-to-wall nylon carpet, natural wool fibers have microscopic overlapping scales that can hold several pounds of dry, gritty soil deep at the foundation knots before the rug even looks dirty on the surface. Over time, foot traffic grinds that trapped grit against the wool warp and weft.
Even more importantly, natural wool and silk rugs must never be cleaned with high-alkaline commercial degreasers or scalding water. Harsh alkaline detergents strip wool’s natural protective lanolin, roughen the fiber texture, yellow cotton fringe, and can cause vibrant red, burgundy, and indigo dyes to bleed into lighter ivory patterns.
At Pro Clean Carpet Cleaning, LLC, our IICRC-certified technicians provide specialized Oriental and fine rug cleaning across Cleveland, North Royalton, Rocky River, Westlake, Beachwood, Solon, Akron, Fairlawn, and all of Northeast Ohio.

How We Safely Clean Oriental & Natural-Fiber Rugs
1. Inspection
Fiber, Knot & Dye Bleed Testing
We examine the rug weave, backing, fringe, and fiber content, and test every color field for dye stability before selecting a wool-safe cleaning protocol.
2. Soil Removal
Thorough Dry Particulate Extraction
We remove embedded dry sand, grit, and pet dander from the base of the pile so abrasive particles are lifted out before wet cleaning begins.
3. Wool-Safe Wash
pH-Balanced Soft-Water Rinse
Using wool-safe, neutral-pH cleaning agents and conditioned soft water, we gently flush the pile and fringe without stripping natural lanolin or bleeding dyes.
Protecting Hardwood Floors Underneath & Treating Pet Accidents on Wool
Most fine Oriental and Persian rugs in Northeast Ohio homes rest on top of finished oak, maple, or cherry hardwood floors or natural stone foyers. When we perform in-home rug cleaning, we protect surrounding flooring, control moisture recovery carefully, and ensure the rug backing is never left damp against wood finishes.
If a dog or cat has urinated on a wool or Oriental rug, prompt treatment is essential. Warm pet urine begins as a mild acid but turns strongly alkaline as bacteria break it down—which can permanently alter natural vegetable dyes and leave a pungent ammonia odor inside the dense wool foundation. We combine wool-safe enzymatic odor neutralization with soft-water extraction to remove urine salts without harming wool fibers.
Whether you have a treasured heirloom room-size Persian Tabriz, a Karastan dining room rug, or hallway runners in Strongsville or Medina, trust over 40 years of family-owned expertise at Pro Clean.
