Gabbeh rugs – the history and science of rugs

Gabbeh rugs were originally traditional hand-woven rugs from Iran known for their use of natural materials, rougher appearance and simplicity. They were mainly made from sheep’s wool, which was further dyed with natural dyes. Warm and earthy colours such as beige, brown, orange, red, blue and green were most commonly used. In terms of appearance, Gabbeh rugs had simple motifs and were usually accompanied by figures or animals.

A Gabbeh rug is authentic, full of colour and exudes the free spirit of nomads. Hand-woven from quality wool and dyed with natural dyes, these rugs are characterised by simple designs, rich colours and robust construction and are divided into the sub-groups listed below.

Nepal rugs originate from Nepal and are woven by Tibetan nomads. They are characterised by geometric and figurative patterns and rich colours. The wool comes from sheep reared in the mountains and is hand-dyed with natural dyes Simple patterns predominate in the rugs and often include abstract designs, geometric patterns or stylized flowers and animals. The rugs are dyed with rich and vibrant colours that add energy to the interior. Rugs are woven densely and tightly so they are durable and will last for many years.

Gabbeh rugs come from southwestern Iran and are woven by the nomadic Luri and Qashqai tribes. They feature abstract patterns and rich colours such as red, blue and green.

Lorigabbeh rugs are a subcategory of Gabbeh rugs and originate from the Loristan region of Iran. They are famous for their softer patterns and more muted colours.

Nowadays Gabbeh style rugs mimic these traditional rugs and are not only made in Iran, often using synthetic materials in their production. The common feature is still the motif with animals or figures and the use of natural colours.

Why and how to clean Gabbeh rugs

We know why it is important to clean Gabbeh rugs professionally at Gabbeh 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. Gabbeh Professional Rug Cleaners can clean your rugs so that they look like new, while extending their life and performing a deep disinfection with UV radiation 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. Gabbeh 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

Gabbeh 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. Gabbeh Rug Cleaners will take care of your rug with care to make it last as long as possible.

Gabbeh rug cleaner and technical information

Gabbeh rugs are made from different types of fibers that have specific characteristics and require different cleaning methods. Our Gabbeh rug cleaning company is experienced in cleaning all common types of Gabbeh rugs.

Gabbeh rug cleaning services overview

Before starting the cleaning procedure, Gabbeh rug repair or restoration and fringe cleaning is provided if necessary. If your rug has suffered damage, for example due to wear, tear or loss of colour, Gabbeh rug cleaning 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 for expensive or Gabbeh rugs that have a high value.

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. Gabbeh Rug Cleaners offers a special cleaning method that will revive the colours and restore 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 > for Gabbeh rugs, a nourishing application of natural lanolin is used to restore the natural properties of the fiber and fabric. Lanolin regeneration brings revival to the fibre while protecting 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 > drying of Gabbeh rugs 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 of importance. 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 Gabbeh rugs and getting them thoroughly dry is absolutely key in terms of expertly performed Gabbeh rug maintenance. Our company uses the AeroFlow® accumulated/radiant heat technology system from Thermotec AG. The contact drying with uniform drying of Gabbeh 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 time via a built-in thermostat with a FlexiSmart temperature and humidity sensor.

Drying Gabbeh rugs with the AeroFlow® system is therefore based on the proportional flow and radiation of heat to ensure fast and even drying of the rug. Thanks to the lower air 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 Gabbeh rug cleaning?

The frequency of professional Gabbeh rug cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of rug, its level of use, and its location. 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 clean rugs more frequently, for example every 6 months.

Gabbeh rug cleaning in households with allergies

If someone in your household suffers from allergies, it may be advisable to have the rugs cleaned even more frequently to minimise the presence of allergens such as dust, pollen and dust mites. Regular professional cleaning can go a long way in improving air quality and alleviating allergies.

Households with pets

Pets can leave hair, dirt and unpleasant odors on rugs. Gabbeh Rug Cleaning offers special services for households with pets that include removing pet hair, stains and odors associated with pets. It is recommended to have your rugs cleaned at least twice a year if you have a dog, cat or other pets in your home.
