What is included
Carpet and rug cleaning by fibre. Wool, silk, viscose and synthetic each get their own chemistry and drying time. A hand knotted silk rug and a nylon office carpet have nothing in common except that both hold dust. We identify the fibre and construction first, then choose between shampoo, hot water extraction and low moisture methods so colours stay true and the pile recovers.
- Knotting and foundation checked from the back
- Colours tested and fringes inspected
- Grit removed from the back before any water
- Washed or low moisture cleaned to the fibre, dried flat
How we carry out hand knotted rug cleaning
A hand knotted rug is made knot by knot on a cotton, wool or silk foundation, and it can last for generations if it is cleaned the right way. Turning it over shows how it was made: the knots are visible on the back, and the fringe is the end of the warp threads, not a sewn on trim. That tells the technician how much handling and water the rug can take. Jaipur rugs, Persian and Pakistani pieces and Nepalese weaves all pass through this check.
Fine sand is the biggest enemy of a hand knotted rug, because it cuts the fibres at the base of the pile as people walk on it. So the rug is vacuumed or beaten from the back first. Wool rugs are then washed cool with a wool safe solution and rinsed; silk and silk blends are cleaned with a low moisture method. Every rug is dried flat with airflow, groomed with the pile and finished by hand at the fringe.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Hand Knotted Rug Cleaning in Al Mushrif: what we plan for
Al Mushrif is a long established villa district in the centre of Abu Dhabi island, between Airport Road and Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street. Most homes are standalone family villas on their own plots, in areas such as Al Qubaisat and along Al Saada Street, with compounds including Mushrif Gardens, Palm Oasis Villas and Al Yasat Compound. Umm Al Emarat Park and Mushrif Mall sit within the district.
Mature trees and large gardens give Mushrif more shade than most of the island, but they also bring leaf litter, pollen and birds. Irrigation keeps garden walls damp at the base, and dust from open plots and building work settles on terraces and in AC filters.
Standalone villas are reached directly, with the owner or house manager present for the first visit. Compounds such as Al Yasat and Palm Oasis have gate security, so the resident registers the crew in advance. Approvals for exterior work are identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about hand knotted rug cleaning in Al Mushrif
What does hand knotted rug cleaning include?
Hand knotted wool and silk rugs from India, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal and beyond, cleaned the way the knots and dyes need, never with a machine meant for wall to wall carpet. The work includes knotting and foundation checked from the back; colours tested and fringes inspected; grit removed from the back before any water.
How do I know if my rug is hand knotted?
Turn it over. A hand knotted rug shows the knots and the pattern clearly on the back, and its fringe is part of the rug itself.
Why should a hand knotted rug not be steam cleaned like a carpet?
Heavy heat and water can shrink the foundation, move the dyes and leave the rug damp inside. It needs a wash or a low moisture clean suited to its fibre.
How much does hand knotted rug cleaning cost in Al Mushrif?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides hand knotted rug cleaning in Al Mushrif?
The MELLS provides hand knotted rug cleaning in Al Mushrif, Abu Dhabi. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does hand knotted rug cleaning take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for most homes, with carpets dry in 4 to 8 hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you clean rugs at home or take them away?
Most rugs are cleaned at your home. Delicate silk and antique pieces can be collected for a controlled wash and returned.
Will cleaning shrink or fade my wool rug?
Not when it is cleaned correctly. We use wool safe products, cool water and controlled drying, and we test the dyes first.
How often should carpets be cleaned in Abu Dhabi?
Every six months in homes, and every three months in offices or homes with pets and children. Sand is abrasive and wears the pile if it stays in.
How do your crews get access to Al Mushrif?
Standalone villas are reached directly, with the owner or house manager present for the first visit. Compounds such as Al Yasat and Palm Oasis have gate security, so the resident registers the crew in advance. Approvals for exterior work are identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork.
Can you clean the water tank at my Mushrif villa?
Yes. Older villas often have roof or ground tanks with sediment and scale. The tank is drained, cleaned, disinfected and refilled, and the work is planned so the household is without water for as short a time as possible.
How do I choose a company for hand knotted rug cleaning in Al Mushrif?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed.
