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.
- Rug shaken out and vacuumed in the direction the hair lies
- Spots cleaned one by one with a barely damp cloth and a mild cleaner
- Hair brushed with the grain and the rug dried flat away from sun
- Underside checked and conditioned where the hide has dried out
How we carry out cowhide rug cleaning
A cowhide is a tanned skin with short hair on one side. Getting the hide wet is the main risk: it can shrink, curl at the edges, harden and in the worst cases loosen the hair so it sheds in patches. The technician shakes the rug out, then vacuums along the direction the hair lies, never against it, using a brush head with the suction turned down. Fine sand that has worked into the hair comes out this way. Printed, metallic and acid washed hides carry a finish that is tested before any cleaner touches it.
Spots are cleaned one at a time with a cloth that is barely damp and a mild cleaner, wiping with the grain and blotting dry straight away. Sticky spills are loosened slowly, not scrubbed. The whole rug is then brushed with the grain and left flat, in AC air and out of direct sun, until the hide is fully dry. If the underside has dried hard or begun to crack, a leather conditioner is worked into it. Bald patches where hair has already gone cannot be brought back and are shown to you at the survey.
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.

Cowhide Rug Cleaning in Dubai Marina & JBR: what we plan for
Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence form a high rise waterfront district. Towers line the marina canal, and JBR runs along the beach in six clusters: Sadaf, Shams, Amwaj, Bahar, Murjan and Rimal.
Salt and humidity from the sea mark balcony glass and railings, and wind at height carries fine dust into apartments through balcony doors and AC systems.
Almost every tower requires a work permit from building management, a service lift booking and proof of insurance. Working hours are restricted, and noisy work is not allowed on some days.
What your quotation depends on

- Size of the property and number of rooms
- Condition, and how long since the last deep clean
- Furnished and occupied, or empty

Questions about cowhide rug cleaning in Dubai Marina & JBR
What does cowhide rug cleaning include?
Hair on hide rugs are vacuumed with the grain, spot cleaned with a barely damp cloth and never soaked, so the hide stays supple and the hair stays where it belongs. The work includes rug shaken out and vacuumed in the direction the hair lies; spots cleaned one by one with a barely damp cloth and a mild cleaner; hair brushed with the grain and the rug dried flat away from sun.
Can a cowhide rug be washed?
It should not be soaked. Water through the hide makes it shrink, stiffen and curl, and can loosen the hair. Cowhides are cleaned from the hair side with a barely damp cloth, spot by spot, and dried flat with the hair brushed in its natural direction.
Why is my cowhide shedding?
Some light shedding is normal, especially on a new hide. Heavy shedding or bald patches usually follow wetting, heavy foot traffic or vacuuming against the grain. Careful cleaning with the grain does not add to it, but hair already loose at the root will keep falling.
How much does cowhide rug cleaning cost in Dubai Marina & JBR?
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.

How long does cowhide 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 Dubai?
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.
Do you arrange the building permit in Dubai Marina & JBR?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
