A quality rug can last for generations — but over time, dirt, stains, worn edges, damaged fringes and general wear can take away from its beauty.
At Sama Rugs Prahran, we provide professional rug washing, cleaning, repair and restoration services for customers across Prahran and Melbourne.
Our experience with handmade rugs means we understand that every rug needs to be treated differently. From a contemporary wool rug to a treasured Persian, Afghan or antique piece, we assess the construction, fibres, dyes and condition of your rug before deciding how it should be cleaned or repaired.
Our goal isn't simply to clean your rug.
It's to preserve it, restore it and help it continue its story in your home.
Vacuuming removes surface dirt, but over the years fine dust, grit, spills and contaminants can work their way deep into the foundation of a rug.
Our professional rug washing process is designed to remove this build-up while protecting the fibres, colours and structure of your rug.
Every rug is inspected before cleaning so we can determine the most appropriate treatment.
Depending on the rug, our cleaning service can help with:
Deep-seated dirt and dust
General discolouration
Food and drink spills
Pet stains and odours
Dust and allergens
Wool and fibre build-up
Everyday household wear
Preparing older rugs for restoration
Particular care is taken with hand-knotted, wool, Persian, Afghan, Oriental, vintage and antique rugs, where aggressive cleaning can cause permanent damage.
Some rugs need much more than a clean.
Years of use can result in worn fringes, unravelled edges, holes, damaged sections or areas where the original weave has begun to disappear.
This is where skilled rug repair becomes incredibly important.
At Sama Rugs, we have the experience and craftsmanship required to take on precious, handmade and sentimental rugs and carefully bring them back to life.
Rather than simply covering damaged areas, we look at how the rug was originally constructed and determine the best way to restore its strength and appearance.

General restoration of handmade rugs
Even rugs that appear heavily damaged can sometimes be remarkably transformed in the hands of an experienced repairer.
Before deciding that an old or damaged rug is beyond saving, bring it to us for an assessment.
We particularly love working with rugs that have a story.
It might be a Persian rug that has been in the family for decades, an Afghan rug purchased while travelling, an antique piece inherited from your parents or grandparents, or simply a rug you love and don't want to replace.
These pieces deserve more than a standard repair.
Our approach is to retain as much of the rug's original character, craftsmanship and age as possible while repairing the areas necessary to make the rug beautiful and usable again.
In many cases, combining professional washing with skilled repair can completely transform a tired rug — revealing colours that had been hidden beneath years of dirt while restoring damaged fringes, edges and woven areas.
Rugs aren't simply something we clean — they are what we work with every day.
Our experience buying, selling and working with handmade rugs gives us an understanding of traditional rug construction, wool, weaving techniques and the characteristics that make each piece unique.
We regularly work with:
Persian Rugs · Afghan Rugs · Turkish Rugs · Oriental Rugs · Wool Rugs · Kilims · Hand-Knotted Rugs · Vintage Rugs · Antique Rugs · Contemporary Rugs
Before work begins, your rug can be assessed and we can discuss the cleaning or restoration required.
You can bring your rug directly to our Prahran showroom for assessment.
461 High Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Whether your rug simply needs a professional wash or requires significant restoration, bring it in and let us take a look.
You may be surprised by just how much of your rug can be revived.
