Specialist Rug Care, Repair and Restoration
Pilgrim Payne® offers specialist rug cleaning and tapestry cleaning throughout London and beyond.
As part of our rug cleaning service, items are collected and taken to our cleaning plant where they are inspected for stains and areas of wear or weakness. The rug or tapestry is thoroughly vacuumed to remove all loose soil – areas of heavy soil are pre-sprayed and stains are pre-spotted by hand. If the rug or tapestry has any fringes, they are cleaned and brushed by hand.
We clean all rugs and tapestries with neutral soaps or mild detergent depending on the type of soiling – in some cases, rugs may be dry cleaned. Once cleaned, they are given a sour rinse to enhance their appearance and then hung to dry naturally. Before packing and delivering to the client, all rugs and tapestries are reviewed to assess results and re-worked if it is felt that any improvement may be possible. In the case of Chinese rugs, the pile is re-lustred by hand.
Our rug cleaning service is specifically tailored to the materials we are working with, so whether we’re conditioning a family heirloom or a high-value Persian rug, the quality of our cleaning service is of the highest standards, and the care and attention brought to your item is absolutely second to none.
Once rugs have undergone stain removal and a thorough clean and they are looking their best again, it makes sense to keep them that way by applying a Stainshield carpet or fabric protector to resist rapid re-soiling and staining.

Testimonials
"You are a genius! Our curtains look fantastic - and the pelmets and tassels so much better than I ever hoped. I can't thank you enough for all the time and attention and extra care you gave them. It did make a huge difference even from the way they looked."
"I wanted to take a moment to say 'Thank You' for making it possible to get my curtains hung the other day. Your technician was extremely experienced, professionally and frankly an all round nice 'Scot'!"
"Very pleased with the result of their cleaning my lounge curtains. French fabric, slightly faded 10 year old linen curtains which they cleaned beautifully and put back up resulting in them looking better than originally hung when new."
"Ian and his team came and rehung the curtains and pelmets. They all look GREAT and I can't thank you enough for all your kindness, attention, and skill - we hope for no further dramas, and to be able to sit in the room and enjoy the results of your labours."
"Today I had the pleasure of one of your employees visiting my house in Richmond. To my shame I did not catch his name. I thought it might have been on the estimate/pro forma but I cannot find it. I just thought you would want to know that I cannot imagine having a friendlier or more knowledgable person. If your other staff are at this level you are a very lucky employer indeed."
