If your antique or oriental rug looks dull, has stains, or lost its softness the restoration usually costs between $3 to $7 per square foot depending on fabric type, color fading, and damage level. For a 5×8 rug, expect around $120–$250 for a full restoration, including deep cleaning, stain removal, and fiber rejuvenation.
If you’re in Brooklyn, our team at Brooklyn Carpet Cleaning (📞 +1 (347)-594-1158) professionally restores antique, Persian, and oriental rugs using gentle, non-harsh organic solutions that preserve color, texture, and value.

Why Antique & Oriental Rugs Need Restoration
Antique or oriental rugs are not just floor coverings they’re family treasures. Over time, foot traffic, spills, and dust slowly damage their fibers and dull their beauty. Many homeowners think a quick vacuum or DIY shampoo will help, but that often causes color bleeding, fiber breakage, or permanent shrinkage.
At Brooklyn Carpet Cleaning, we meet homeowners every week who tell us:
“I tried to clean it myself, and now the color looks uneven.”
That’s exactly the problem old rugs require specialized restoration, not just cleaning.
