    I worked in the oriental rug business for years, selling and repairing them. I cleaned many old rugs, some that were pretty dirty, and the 1st thing you do is to turn the rug over, face down, and vacuum the back with a machine that has a beater bar. This beats the dirt out of the rugs foundation, i.e. the warp and weft. If the rug is wet washed before beating the dirt out, you turn the dirt into mud which gets into the foundation and when dried, turns to dry rot.

I once visited a professional shop where they clean very old tapestry. This was a very slow process, whereby specially treated lime free water and a mild solvent percolated for hours through the tapestry, until the water was crystal clear. Then it took several hours to let the gobelin tapestry dry. After the drying process the painstaking process of restoration could start

      For a time in our high school years, my brother and I worked Saturdays at an Oriental rug auction (all handmade, mostly Persian) held at the Waldorf Astoria. We, along with a few other teens, were there to load/unload and handle the rugs (many being antiques) during the auction. Getting to handle them and up-close showed us just how robust and well-made those rugs were. Incredibly heavy, and dense with tight knots (observed on the undersides). What I wasn't surprised by was how the rug in the video appeared to maintain good color: The auction's rug dealers (two Persian brothers from Egypt) told us that the dyes used were created from insects and plants, with the resulting colors being more stable than artificial dyes.

      I am in my eighties with all the ware and tears, but not our Persian rugs brought from Iran in sixties and seventies, they are not faded or show any wear! I advise anyone who can, invest in beautiful Persian rugs!

    My husband bought a couple of persian carpets. Said to b over 50yrs old.
    They were so heavy i couldnt move them. Got a new super vacuum cleaner.
    Filled 3 bags of dirt from one carpet.
    It was so funny. We had a Doberman who go excited when anyone came. He would run to the door n race back excitedly. The carpet never moved.
    Then after an afternoon of vacuuming. He rushed to the door n the carpet took off with him at such a speed he was in shock. Next day, found him galloping in one direction flying on the carpet then pushed it back in place n then galloped the other direction. He had such fun. So i then placed it on one end of the room n it now gave him about 12 mtrs to slide.
    It was so funny to see his fun.
    His new game did not harm the rug or the tiles. When i came home n the carpet wasnt in its place, i always laughed when greeting him. He wld run to where the pile of carpet was all piled up. So pleased with with himself. He eventual was happy just to make it slide anywhere.

      Yes, there might be hope for any throw rugs under all the hoard! Though most wall to wall needs to be ripped out because it is terribly filthy, and often hides bugs, rodent feces, and even rotten floor boards underneath it. Best to rip out wall to wall and determine the state of the flooring. But yeah, if there are any loose rugs like this you can take them to a cleaner like this guy and rejuvenate them if they are good quality to withstand the cleaning treatment.

Would like to know more background. Had the building been someone's home before it was converted into a warehouse? Did the rug belong to the original owner who left it to the new owner? Where had it been displayed? Did it meet its fate only after the warehouse had flooded? I could better imagine someone abandoning the rug and anything else inside after the building was first flooded.

Once finished they throw the rugs into the road and allowed carts , cars trucks to run them over to age them as the older they are the more expensive. The detail on the front is exactly the same underneath, they are absolutely beautiful.

And, do people use these in this condition? Just asking....because it's very puzzling and hard to understand, but I would like understand.
      It IS interesting to see the process of restoration, and how well you clean these beautiful pieces of hand woven work. Cleaning IS a talent all by itself, in many forms, but never considered these until watching you DO this. It is astounding, and you do a great job of bringing these carpets back to life.

      There's a reason I have 4 large authentic Persian rugs in my home. I bought them about 20 years ago while in the Kuwait and they are still in great shape, brightly colored and hardly a wear mark on them in spite of their daily use with human and pet traffic. I will have to say this though, they are no fun to clean. A standard vacuum cleaner is not sufficient to get dirt out of the tightly woven threadworks. They do have to be professionally cleaned and since they are very large, just getting them rolled up is a job in itself.
      But since that is something that we don't have to do that often, they were well worth the money.

      Seems most people wouldn't have experienced a flood event where a river bursts it's banks and the incredible amount of silt that can be deposited. It may well matter how they are stored, if in piles they wouldn't have dried out and rotted but I've seen rugs hung off racks. If that was the case, the water could drain and they dry out and there would be air space in between each rug so they (and the silt) could dry out and they wouldn't rot.

Did pick ups in the early mornings then the boss would do the cleaning and my friend (Rupin) and I used a massive squeegee machine to rid excess water then hung them in tack boards with pulleys to dry in a massive drying room 3-4 stories high. The boss had a method of drying so they didn’t crisp as the temperature varied with the height of the hang. Sometimes the van had over $150,000 of rugs in it while we were on route.

    That carpet must have been outside. I never knew you could scrub a carpet that much without destroying it. And the dyes stayed so well. Just beautiful.

    If only we all had wet rooms to laboriously wash, soap, rinse, repeat repeatedly. Thanks for all your efforts.
