Carpet cleaning is an essential part of rug conservation that should not be overlooked. Dirt, dust, and moths are particular threats to a carpet’s weave. A periodical cleaning of every one to two years helps maintain the appearance, integrity, and value of a rug. We offer a traditional and thorough cleaning service for any kind of rug within the metropolitan area of Rome.

  • For maintenance cleaning of antique carpets or silk carpets, without pick-up and delivery, we charge €50 + VAT per square meter, this includes antibacterial and anti-moth treatments. For this option, the client is responsible for bringing the rug to our location and then collecting it within 14 days of completion. 
  • For maintenance cleaning of commercial wool and cotton rugs without pick-up and delivery service, we charge €35 + VAT per square meter. For this option, the client is responsible for bringing the rug to our location and then collecting it within 14 days of completion. 
  • Pick-up and delivery service is available within the metropolitan area of Rome for an additional €15 per square meter + VAT.

Textiles, tapestries and carpets in particularly bad condition (rotten, moldy) require inspection before pricing can be determined.

If the rug is smaller than 2.87 sqm, a minimum flat-rate of €100 + VAT will be applied.

Please note that any rugs or textiles that are not collected within 14 working days will be sent to our storage facility and kept there at the monthly storage rate of €15 per square meter.

All prices are plus VAT (22%).
