1- WASH DELUXE
All of our washes are done by hand (hard chemical and acid free). We merely use organic remedies and supermarket-safe products. We assure you a cleaning that is safe for the fiber and color.

WASH DELUXE # 1 – This is a cleaning designated for solid rugs that appear to contain deep dust sediment and deposit. (Rugs cleaned within previous five years)

WASH DELUXE # 2 – This is a cleaning designed for rugs with a dirty surface and a significant amount of dust deposit. (Rugs cleaned within previous ten years)

WASH DELUXE # 3 - This is our most effective and powerful wash in which we precisely clean antique rugs and rugs with a heavy 5th layer of dust deposit sitting at the bottom of the of the pile ( Old dirt – 30 -100 years old). This is a process intended to clean delicate and old rugs that require precision and care. This procedure breaks the 5th dust layer and then removes it rejuvenating an old rug returning its freshness and fluffiness.

2- SILK WASH

This is an extremely wary and delicate wash, deliberately designed for partial, or %100 silk rugs (old or new). The wash may be applied dry or wet, dependent on our decision on how to approach rugs in different states.

3- ANTIQUE WASH
This is a deep process in which we tone down colors in 3-shade applications and give your rug a warm antique appearance. The three available applications are:
A) Golden Oak
B) Walnut
C) Mahogany
This harmonizes harsh color clashes in any rug and transforms them into soft tones.

4- DRY CLEANING
This process is applied to rugs that may not be able to undergo wet washing due to their colors and dye structures. We have therefore developed the dry clean method in order to treat rugs of these conditions.

back to top

5- COLOR STRIPPING
This is a procedure in which excess bright colors are extracted (according to the rugs dye structure). This process is applied to any specific area or a whole rug.

back to top

6- RUG SOFTENING
Through age and poor maintenance some rugs tend to become stiff and in result break when bent. At ORH, we apply organic baths that soften and return those rugs to their original state.

back to top

7- TOUCH UPS

These are jobs done on old rugs subsequent to cleaning. White knots begin to make a strong impression on areas that are worn out and appear to have visible thread. We touch up on these areas with proper dye made for each area and in result give the design a uniform appearance.

back to top


8- DYING
This is a process that we use to replace dyes that have faded in different areas or entire rugs. We use particular dyes designed for rugs.

back to top

9- MOTH PROOFING
This procedure is used to areas on rugs where there is apparent moth damage (which could be extremely harmful when not detected). The process is applied deep in the rug and acts as a moth repellent for several years.

back to top

10- SCOTCH GUARDING
This is a method used to surround the files on a rug protecting it from stain penetrations. The application acts more effectively when picked up and removed early into an accident (1 year).

back to top

11- DEODORIZING
This treatment is applied to rugs that carry bad odor due to any accident. We first remove the source of odor, and then introduce the application.

back to top

12- FRINGING (READY ORIGINAL)
In this process, old and tattered fringes are removed in an orderly fashion and later replaced line by line amid new hand woven fringes that match the exact style of the rugs original fringes.

back to top

13- BINDING EDGES
Through this method the unraveled ends of a rug are removed and replaced by new binding (all done by hand). The process is in accordance to the type of rug itself ($20-$50 P.R.F) with the matching colors and styles of it’s original binding. This hardens and strengthens the rug edges.

back to top

14- OVER CASTING
This is a procedure in which the dilapidated ends of a rug are locked up by stitching, to prevent the loss of knots and opening of weaves.

back to top

15- ZANGIREH

This is a decorative and colorful chain weave exclusively for ornamental purposes that get woven at the ends of rugs where the fringes meet the rug itself. This also acts as binary protection on over casting.

back to top

16- LEATHER BACK BINDING

This is a leather strip that is sewn along the edges of a rug that curls. In result the edges are then kept straight and tight.

back to top

17- PILE SHEERING

This is a sheering done on the surface of a rug’s pile where there is fading or discoloration as result of sun or age. (Generally works with millimeters)

back to top

18- PATCHING
In a scenario where a hole exists in a rug and one does not intend to spend money on an entire reweaving process, we offer this option as an excellent solution. This is a method in which we piece the missing area with a piece from an identical rug, giving it a magnificent and perfect appearance.

back to top

19- PILE IMPLANTING
In a situation where the pile in a rug has deteriorated yet the warp and weft are in tact, we will reweave that area with fresh yarn and in result create a new and healthy pile for the rug. (Usually done on moth damaged areas where wool is eaten up however the cotton base is still in place)

back to top

20- RUG REWEAVING
In this procedure, an invisible reweaving of the rug by our experts takes place, thus making a torn and diminished rug look new and vibrant. (This is done on rugs of all sorts)

back to top

22- SIZING

back to top

23- STAIN REMOVING

Hard food stains as well as a variety of other stubborn stains that carry industrial dyes generally require more than a simple rug cleaning to be removed. Therefore, we have developed a unique formula which we apply in a certain manner leaving absolutely no trace of the former stain.

back to top

24- ANIMAL STAIN REMOVING

Intractable animal stains will not be extracted from a rug by means of simple cleaning. Our experienced staff will remove an animal stain of any age imbedded in a rug. If not addressed, an animal stain containing uric acid can tend to be extremely harmful to a rug’s fiber.

25- GLUE BACK REMOVING
During this complex procedure, the glue or latex attached to the backside of a rug is professionally detached in a safe manner thus not damaging any original fiber or weave.

back to top

26- CUT RESTORATION

back to top

27- LOW PILE RESTORATION

In circumstances where a certain area of a rugs pile has diminished to an extent (due to usage or traffic), with relation to other parts, we will restore the pile to give it a uniform appearance meshing it with the rest of the piece’s pile quality.

back to top

28- COLOR RUN RESTORATION

Any color bleeding that appears as result of contact between certain rugs and different amounts of water, must be addressed. We professionally remove color run through this complex and precise method, leaving no traces of drifting colors.

back to top

29- MOTH DAMAGE RESTORATION

In this treatment, the rug is first shaken and delicately compressed freeing it from any sorts of moth egg or larva. This procedure is followed by a special treatment done on the rug keeping it from any further damage. At the conclusion, the rug is thoroughly examined and filled in with reweaving in all damaged areas.

back to top

32- MILDEW & STEAM DAMAGE RESTORATION

Mildew deposited in a rug over time is extremely detrimental to the health of the fiber and to the health of those living with the rug. This is a process in which we free the rug from mildew agents enabling it to stay fresh and strong and preventing the fiber from decomposing.

39- FIBER STRENGTH ANALYSIS
This is a distinctive procedure developed by our experts. We scrutinize the fiber from a damaged area in a rug and contrast it with a piece of healthy fiber on that same rug. After examining the divergence under a microscope, we detect any deviation in texture. We will then analyze the item “Per Dollars Value” separating the damaged area from the healthy, resulting in a percentage that is translated into the overall loss of value.
