Whether in your living room, dining area, or playroom – rugs are often placed in high-traffic zones. Food, drinks, pets, or creative children can lead to everyday stains and dirt buildup. Even without visible marks, dust and fine particles settle deep into the fibers over time.
But don’t worry: Even with coffee or red wine stains, not all is lost. With the right professional treatment, most stains can be removed completely – gently and without damage to the rug’s structure or colors.
Act quickly! Especially with hand-knotted rugs, we strongly advise against using store-bought chemical stain removers. These can damage the fibers or bleach the colors.
1. Blot, don’t rub:
Use a clean kitchen towel or cotton cloth to gently blot the spill. Do not rub, as this spreads the stain. If needed, dab toward the center of the stain to contain it.
2. Use mineral water:
Pour a small amount of sparkling mineral water on the area and blot again. The carbonation helps lift the pigment from the fibers. Repeat the process up to three times until the stain has largely disappeared.
3. Contact a specialist:

Why clean your rug every 5–7 years?
Regular deep cleaning is essential to maintain your rug’s beauty and durability. Over time, dust and sand particles settle deep within the fibers. When walked on, these particles create friction, wearing down the rug’s structure.
A professional cleaning not only restores the original brilliance of your rug but also extends its lifespan. For rugs made from pure virgin wool, we recommend a natural bio-wash with re-oiling, which preserves the wool’s natural shine and prevents it from becoming overly dry or prone to staining.
We clean only genuine hand-knotted rugs and offer three tailored options:
✅ Standard Cleaning: €35/m²
For durable, regularly used rugs
✅ Bio-Wash incl. Re-Oiling: €49/m²
Recommended for high-quality wool rugs – adds natural protection
✅ Silk Rug Cleaning: €79/m²
For delicate silk rugs – extra gentle treatment

At Wahdat Rugs, we’ve been serving North Germany’s rug lovers with expert knowledge in hand-knotted rugs and restoration services for over 40 years. Our extensive experience allows us to provide honest, professional assessments on whether a cleaning or repair is worthwhile for your rug.
Especially in complex cases or with antique pieces, we offer realistic evaluations and fixed-price quotes, so you can make informed decisions with no hidden costs or surprises.
It often makes sense to combine rug cleaning with minor repairs. After a deep clean, it’s common for damaged fringes, edges, or small holes to become more visible – and these can be expertly restored in the same service.
We’re happy to offer you a fairly priced package for both cleaning and repair, tailored to the condition and type of your rug. This way, your rug regains its original beauty and structural integrity in one go.
