Gregorian offers exceptional rug services. You do not have to own a Gregorian oriental rug to use our services or to seek advice from our expert technicians and artisans.

Gregorian Oriental Rug Cleaning
Cleaning improves the appearance and dramatically increases the life of your oriental rug. We recommend cleaning at least every 3-5 years, especially if used in high traffic areas, with large families, or where pets, eating, or dampness are a concern. Walkways, entry halls and mud rooms, and other extended use areas like hotel lobbies may require cleaning every year or two. Learn more about how cleaning Durable Rugs differs from the hand-cleaning process for older or fragile rugs. Then use the Rug Cleaning Form to receive an estimate or to submit a pick-up request.
