Is your rug too old, worn, or maybe it's too beautiful for the floor? 🧵

Whether it's a work of art or an antique with a well-earned retirement, some rugs look cool on the wall. At Renaissance Rug Cleaning, we build custom, museum-quality hanging systems right here in Portland for area rugs and woven textiles of all kinds. The process is non-invasive and 100% reversible. In this case, this client is putting a room-sized rug on the wall

Renaissance Rug Cleaning will be closed Friday, July 3rd as we take a short break to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends.

We will return to the workshop and reopen on Monday, July 6th, ready to get your rugs looking their very best. Because even Paul Revere would agree that after warning the countryside all night, a day off is only fair.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! 🎆

🐾 We recently had the pleasure of cleaning a rug for Bonnie with DoveLewis Canine Therapy Teams. We are a little envious; none of us have our own trading cards like Bonnie 🐶. Bonnie is particular with her rug cleanings and sensitive to cleaning smells & residues, so Paws Down Renaissance is her go-to rug cleaner.

Why Renaissance Rug Cleaning isn't just another rug cleaner.

It started in the late 1980s and never really stopped. Over nearly four decades, Renaissance Rugs' founder Randy Hyde has worn just about every hat the industry has to offer: cleaner, repairer, retailer, wholesaler, consultant, teacher, and speaker. If it involves an Oriental rug, chances are Randy's done it — and done it well.

He was elected President & Board member at large of ARCS — the Association of Rug Care Specialists, an industry-certifying association — and became a speaker and educator, some of it beyond the rug world.

But what truly sets him apart isn't a title or a résumé line. It's the miles. Randy has traveled to Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Nepal — He served as a carpet consultant to rug producers in Afghanistan, advising at the production level, where the real knowledge lives. -Pic is Randy in Kabul in 2020

Moths in your rugs? It doesn't mean you're a bad housekeeper. It doesn't mean you're a bad housekeeper, thats a common misconception.
Wool moths don't care how clean your home is. They're opportunists — attracted to the protein in natural fibers like wool, silk, and cashmere. All it takes is one open window, one door left ajar, or a vintage rug brought home from an estate sale. They hitch a ride. They settle in. And then, quietly, they get to work.
Your rugs — your heirlooms, your investments, the pieces you love — are at risk right now.
The good news? Caught early, moth damage is stoppable. Caught late, it's permanent. Don't wait for the damage to get worse. Bring your rugs in for a professional moth treatment today — before they lose another fiber.

Most rugs stay wet longer than they should. That's where problems start; the key to rug cleaning isn't just cleaning, it's drying.
At our workshop, we use advanced rug-drying methods specifically designed for fine textiles. One of the key tools we use is a centrifuge extractor. Think of it like the spin cycle on a washing machine, but a high-powered one built for rugs, not clothing.
In just a couple of minutes, we can safely remove up to 90% of the moisture from your rug.
That means faster drying, reduced risk of dye bleed, and a much lower chance of odors or mildew developing.
It's one of the reasons professional rug washing delivers results you simply can't get at home and makes us the top-referred rug cleaning in Portland, Oregon by Portland's top rug dealers.

I've seen JFK rugs and JFK & RFK doubles, but this is the first single-portrait RFK rug I've seen. — JFK portrait rugs were produced in large numbers, particularly in the years following his 1963 assassination, and the paired Kennedy brother rugs followed as RFK's public profile grew through the late 1960s. But standalone RFK portrait rugs never matched JFK's production volume, which makes single-subject RFK pieces genuinely more rare.

This hand-woven silk rug came to us dull, dusty, and weighed down by years of embedded soil, Carpet shampoo residue, and left looking absolutely breathtaking.
Hand-woven silk rugs are among the most delicate and valuable floor coverings you can own. They require expert care, not just a quick clean. Our professional rug cleaning process is specifically designed to handle natural fibers like silk — preserving the sheen, color vibrancy, and structural integrity of every hand-tied knot.
