Bokhara rugs – the history and science of rugs
Bokhara rugs – the original Bokhara originated in the Caucasus region and its name is derived from the present-day Uzbek city of Buxoro. This city was once a bastion of Muslim culture and was on the route of the legendary Silk Road. The Bukhara rug also reached Europe via this route. Old and antique Bukhara rugs from this period are very rare and usually do not make it into museums or exhibitions. The history of Bukhara rugs No rugs were produced in the city of Bukhara itself, rather the city gave its name to the rugs of a number of small nomadic tribes and villages. Today, typical Bukhara rugs are no longer traded in Uzbekistan and their place has been taken by other countries. Today, most hand-knotted Bukhara rugs come from Pakistan. They are softer and have a slightly higher pile than their predecessors.
Bukhari rugs are available in sizes up to 3 x 4 metres, but small Bukhari rugs in sizes 90×60 cm, 60×40 cm or as treads in sizes 90×30 cm and 60×30 cm are very popular. These small Bukhara rugs are ideal for dressers, cabinets or as small rugs in front of doors. They can often be ordered in pairs, for example as a bed rug or as a car rug.
An antique boucherie rug is usually red in colour and decorated with delicate geometric shapes. Very famous is the so-called Tekke Bukhara, which was knotted by a Turkmen tribe. It is decorated with several rows of tiny medallions and is still knotted in Pakistan. Today’s Bukhara rugs are slightly lighter in colour than their originals and the designs are also more uniform. The rugs are very light and extremely soft.
Why and how to clean Bokhara rugs
We know why it is important to clean Bokhara rugs professionally at Bokhara Rug Cleaners. Normal home rug care mainly involves vacuuming and occasional hand cleaning. However, these methods are not enough to thoroughly remove all the dirt and allergens that settle deep in the rug fibers. Bokhara Professional Rug Cleaners can clean your rugs so that they look like new, while extending their life and performing a deep disinfection with UV irradiation and the “BIO-OZON” ozone vacuum machine, all without the need for chemicals.
Deep removal of dirt and allergens by UV radiation and ozonation
Dust, dust mites and other allergens can hide deep in the rug and cause health problems, especially allergies and asthma. Conventional vacuuming only removes surface dirt but does not reach deep into the fibres. Bokhara rug cleaning uses special technologies that penetrate deep into the rug and remove even the smallest particles of dust, dirt and allergens. This improves the air quality in your home.
Removing stubborn stains and unpleasant odours with ozone
Rugs can easily suck up liquids and odors that build up over time and cause unpleasant smells. Professional cleaners use strong but gentle cleaning agents that will remove even stubborn stains from wine, coffee or pets without damaging the material. Stains that you don’t remove at home can penetrate deeper into the fibers over time, which can cause permanent damage to the rug.
Extend the life of your rug with impregnation and lanolin
Bokhara rugs are often an expensive investment, whether it’s a hand-woven piece rug or a modern designer piece. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of a rug by preventing the build-up of dirt that can damage its fibres. Bokhara Rug Cleaners will take care of your rug with care to make it last as long as possible.
Bokhara rug cleaner and technical information
Bokhara rugs are made from different types of fibers that have specific properties and require different cleaning methods. Our Bokhara rug cleaning company is experienced in cleaning all common types of Bokhara rugs.
Overview of Bokhara rug cleaning services
Before starting the cleaning procedure, Bokhara rug repair or restoration and fringe cleaning is provided if required. If your rug has suffered damage, for example due to wear, tear or loss of colour, Bokhara Rug Cleaners can offer repair and restoration services. Experienced professionals can repair damaged fibers, re-dye faded areas, or restore the rug’s texture. These services are especially valuable on expensive or high-value Bokhara rugs.
Phase 1 > mechanical brushing and knocking with the KIRBY® & HYLA® machine system. Tapping with a fine rotary brush loosens coarse mechanical dirt trampled deep into the rug fibre. The rug is ready for the next knocking process with the electric knocker, which aims to open and fluff the rug fibre. The whole process serves to loosen dust, hair, dried mud and dirt in the warp.
Phase 2 > chemical gentle cleaning – enzymatic/foam pre-spraying releases water soluble or dry foam soils. Enzymes will also remove contaminants that subsequent steps may not always release including removing grease and grime and releasing encapsulated odors.
Phase 3 > manual or machine cleaning combined with bath and soak of the rug. This is always determined by the type of rug and the soiling of the rug, so as to avoid deterioration and achieve the maximum possible cleaning result. Bokhara Rug Cleaners offers a special cleaning method that will revive the colours and bring back your rug to its original beauty. This service is ideal for rugs that are located in areas with direct sunlight or are exposed to frequent use.
Phase 4 > of Bokhara rugs is performed with the application of nourishing natural lanolin is used to restore the natural properties of the fiber and fabric. Lanolin regeneration brings revival to the fibre and also brings protection to the rug from adverse external influences. The rug will show no signs of fraying, will not break, will gain a brighter colour and will feel soft and nourished to the touch.
Phase 5 > of Bokhara rug drying is quite essential. Although the final disinfection and antibacterial treatment with ozone (O₃) is the most effective possible, as (O₃) is a powerful oxidant that effectively kills bacteria, viruses, moulds and odours and is therefore used by our company for the final disinfection of surfaces and textiles, thorough drying is important. This is because moisture can affect the effectiveness of the final antibacterial treatment and the disinfecting efficacy of both chemical and ozonation.
Residual moisture can still linger in materials after chemical or ozone disinfection, which continues to promote mold growth and possible bacterial proliferation. Therefore, at our dry cleaners, we consider it important to thoroughly re-dry materials after ozonation or chemical disinfection to prevent the re-growth of microorganisms.
Drying Bokhara rugs and getting them thoroughly dry is the absolute key in terms of expertly executed Bokhara rug maintenance. Our company uses the AeroFlow® accumulated/radiant heat technology system from Thermotec AG. Contact drying with uniform drying of Bokhara rugs relies on AeroFlow® technology, which efficiently transfers heat to the fabric and fibres via integrated chamotte heating plates that distribute the accumulated heat deep into the surface of the material for the required period of time via a built-in thermostat with a FlexiSmart temperature and humidity sensor.
Drying Bokhara rugs with the AeroFlow® system is therefore based on the proportional flow and radiation of heat to ensure the rug dries quickly and evenly. Thanks to the lower airflow velocity and low surface temperature of the heating plate, dust is not blown away and the rugs dry evenly. The independent VDE institute has verified that only quality materials meeting the certification criteria are used for the product “Thermotec storage heaters” and awards the products the VDE GS label.
Phase 6 > disinfection and odour removal, as rugs can absorb odours over time, especially when exposed to moisture, pets or spilled liquids. Professional cleaners offer disinfection and odor neutralization services that will remove even the most stubborn odors and leave your rug fresh and smelling good. The antibacterial treatment is done by deep disinfection with UV irradiation and ozone vacuum machine “BIO-OZON”, all without the need for chemicals with the highest possible efficiency in terms of removing mites, viruses, bacteria, odors and mold.
Phase 7 > application of protective impregnation including deodorization of the fibre after disinfection with ozone and UV. After cleaning – drying – disinfection, application of a special protective agent that repels dirt and stains from the British company PROCHEM® is recommended. These agents form an invisible protective layer that prevents liquids from penetrating the rug fibres. This will make your rug better able to resist soiling and easier to maintain.
How often should you use the services of Bokhara rug cleaners?

In general, it is recommended to have your rugs professionally cleaned at least once a year. In homes with high dust levels, pets or small children, it is advisable to have the rugs cleaned even more frequently, for example every 6 months.
Bokhara rug cleaning in homes with allergies
