Rug Cleaning
Our hand-washing process removes deep-seated dirt and odors from Oriental, Persian, and natural fiber rugs. Using eco-friendly solutions, we preserve fibers and colors while avoiding damage from machines or harsh chemicals. This service suits heirlooms, vintage pieces, and modern rugs requiring thorough cleaning.
Rug Repair
We repair moth damage, frayed edges, and structural wear using hand-knotting and weaving techniques. Our specialists restore antique and handmade rugs to preserve their value and aesthetics, avoiding machine binding or adhesives that compromise authenticity.

Custom-cut pads prevent slippage and floor damage for rugs on hardwood, tile, or radiant-heated floors. Made from recycled materials, our waterproof, pet-proof pads are washable and designed to extend rug longevity without leaving residues.

It is a pleasure to do business with a person who loves their work. Quality of work excellent, and the owner is very knowledgeable about rugs. He understands that a rug is not just for foot traffic but that it can tell a story, is a part of ones life. He is a true craftsman. Highly recommend.

Val did a great job patching up a 3-day old rug that my dogs chewed a hole in. It is unnoticeable! Thanks Val!

This is a wonderful, family owned business. They use a non-toxic process to clean rugs, and are very friendly and easy to work with. The colors in the oriental recently inherited from my mother really "pop" after cleaning. Highly recommended!

Everyone I had contact with at Renaissance was helpful, polite, professional, and warm. The pick up and drop off services were very convenient, and they did a great job with my rugs. I recommend Renaissance without reservation. Services: Area rug cleaning, Pet stain & odor removal

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.

Val and Randy were amazing! Very responsive and great communication. The rug looked great when it came back. They are experts, knew where my rug had come from and how to clean it (what to do and what to not do). The deliver guys were great too.

I took my Zapotec rug in to be cleaned - Holy Guacamole, I can't believe how beautifully it turned out. The colors are now really vivid - I'm almost hesitant to walk on it again. Great work

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.

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!
