Services
It is advisable to have your rugs cleaned at a professional facility every 1-3 years, taking into account how often they are used and following the manufacturer's guidelines. Professional cleaning effectively eliminates embedded dirt, bacteria, and allergens that regular vacuuming or home cleaning may not fully remove. Natural fiber and wool rugs require specific cleaning methods and appropriate cleaning solutions. Dry cleaning and carpet foams often do not thoroughly clean rugs and may leave residues on the fibers.

Dusting a clean rug
We often receive enquires about repairing rugs without cleaning them or they were cleaned by someone else. For sanitation reasons, color match and built up soils makes it harder to drive a needle in rugs as such rug need to be clean for repair work. This rug was cleaned but the essential step of dry soil removal was missed subsequently the rug made it's way to us for repair. This was our test if it was clean enough for us to repair the rug as you can see lots of gritty soil remained in the rug there's is a small pile of soil from the first pass at the bottom left.

Renaissance Rug Cleaning is wonderful. For over 20 years I have collected Oriental rugs, primarily antique tribal rugs. This year Renaissance Rug Cleaning has provided me with over 15 rug pads and cleaned and repaired a fragile antique tribal rug. The repair and cleaning was top rate. The rug pads are also top rate but the cleaning and repair of my favorite antique tribal rug is why I am writing this recommendation.

I've been bringing my carpets here for years. except one of them that hadn't been cleaned in 25 years and had experienced a lot of 'pet upheavals.' It wasn't a high-end carpet and the backing was just about gone. And they cleaned it as though it was a precious gem. It came out without a scratch and all its colors back and all the old animal traces gone, gone, gone. Also, really nice people. Also, gave me advice about how to hand clean another carpet that i couldn't afford to get cleaned. Also, showed me around their process for cleaning and repairing. Fascinating!

I have been holding their business card in my wallet for years. Now that I'm moving I thought this would be a perfect time to get my rugs cleaned. They did a great job. My experience, here in Portland, is getting a quick response from a business and they were very responsive. They picked my rugs up, and dropped them off for $40. What a great deal, I don't own a car so Uber would have been more. Great Service! Thank you.

People who value fine rugs (Persian, or other) can trust Randy and his crew for their knowledge and delicate care. They do a fine job in cleaning and restoring such rugs, while paying exquisite attention to details. Randy (the owner) understands the value of such pieces of art, and treats them artfully.

We had an emergency with a massive stain on our rug. We called another rug cleaning company that we had used for over 20 years and they were less than helpful. First, they really could not give us any suggestions of what to do at home and second, they were totally unavailable to pick up the rug for a week. We found about Renaissance and called them.
They were wonderful. We received instructions on what to do on an urgent basis (it worked) and then they picked up the rug that day. The delivery folk were wonderful. The cleaning was superb. They were able to clean the wool and silk rugs so it looked new. Well we now know who to call!

Dye leaked from a pet mishap. Did not think it was cleanable because of the maroon bleed into beige. Got the rug back yesterday, I am amazed at the fantastic job. Looks brand new with no evidence of stain. Absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend. Services: Pet stain and odour removal, Area rug cleaning

It takes a special kind of person to do this intricate detail oriented work. Renaissance Rugs, owners & employees, possess an "Encyclopedia Britannica" knowledge base that covers the history, geography, culture, manufacturing process, repair protocol, cleaning protocol, along with an artistic ability to address anything about your beloved rugs. They are enthusiasts.
Do yourself a favor and take a tour. I was enthralled by all they do. Oriental carpets are heirlooms that need periodic cleaning and repairs. Insure that your precious rugs will be treated correctly and with loving respect. Go see the amazing folks at Renaissance Rug Cleaning.

I've been a customer of Renaissance Rug Cleaning for many years. I trust them to take care of my rugs. I've recently been back to get my rugs cleaned after dealing with frequent urination on my rugs by my two dogs. My efforts to clean it up only seem to make it worse and the smell was unbearable. Whenever people came over I apologized for the urine smell. After being cleaned by Renaissance Rug Cleaning, my rugs and my house no longer smell like dog pee and I feel confident inviting people over again.

Our labrador decided that our area rug would make a tasty meal and chewed at least nine areas of our decorative 8 X 11 rug. When Renaissance returned the rug to us, it was impossible to find the ares that had been repaired. They did an excellent job. Sadly, they declined an offer to take our dog. I highly recommend Renaissance Rug for damaged rugs. They made our rug like new.

Renaissance Rug Cleaning company continues to excel in their customer service, cleaning process as well as very fair pricing. After visiting their competitors for rug cleaning and now twice with Renaissance, this company will definitely be my go place in the future for regular cleaning of my extensive, rug collection. Thank you Renaissance!

We have been so pleased with all the services from Renaissance Rug Cleaning. We live in Washougal, WA and have some oriental rugs of a large size that are too difficult for us to move, transport and reset after cleaning. Renaissance is willing for a very nominal fee to delivery the rug after cleaning and place in the room where it has come. We also have used them to repair two rugs that belonged to my grandmother so much be over a hundred years old.
They did on both of these rugs a beautiful job: one needed work on binding and the other needed some thin, weak areas rewoven. You will not be disappointed with their work or service ---- very pleasant family people with which to deal.

Renaissance Rug Cleaners are fabulous to work with. Very knowledgeable about how to care for your rugs. I brought in 4 rugs that had been stored dirty for over a decade and they came back looking great! They even did a few minor repairs that I couldn't even tell had been repaired. I'll be using this company from now on for sure!

Really, this is the place to take your fine rugs. Those handwoven ones you treasure. The natural dyes that you worry will be damaged anywhere else. Those special knots or fine fringe. Renaissance Rug Cleaning is the best. Their hand washing techniques respect the integrity of the rugs that were made to be so beautiful. I have taken my lovely Turkish rug, woven in a yurt from local natural dyes, to be cleaned twice in about 8 years.
Both times they did an excellent job. The staff will measure carefully, look deeply for any issues, identify your rug with great accuracy, and do minor repairs included in the wash price. (I assume they do more extensive repairs for customers, but I have not needed that) Their pricing is fair and their process careful and thorough. The website shows their washing and drying techniques.
If you value the artistry and cultural/historical beauty of your area rugs, you will take them here. They do a wide range of types of rugs, (synthetic dyes too, I think) and it's an education to drop off or pick up your rug to see what else others are bringing in. They also pick up from your home, if you need that. A great company. I have no worries taking my rug there. Am exceedingly pleased with the outcome.

I have been doing business with the folks at Renaissance Rug Cleaning for years. Their quality and great customer service continue to exceed my expectations. Even with three big dogs at home (one being a husky whose shedding seems endless) that love playing outside in the mud on a regular basis, my rugs always sparkle after I bring them home from Renaissance Rug Cleaning. Thanks again for taking on that challenge and allowing me to keep both my rugs and my dogs! Axle, Millie, and Kayla thank you as well!

Randy and his wife Val are highly respected in the Rug washing industry, there level of expertise surpasses most rug washers out there. I recently had the privilege of attending a event where he presented and demonstrated advanced techniques for a large group of professionals in the industry, people were crowded around watching him make some very advanced procedures appear simple. If you are looking for one of the best cleaners out there, look no further.
