Services
Rug Cleaning
Our traditional hand-washing process removes deep soil and odors from Oriental, Persian, and natural fiber rugs. Using pH-balanced solutions, we ensure no sticky residues remain. This service revitalizes colors and extends rug lifespan while maintaining structural integrity through gentle, manual techniques.
Rug Repair
Hand-stitched repairs address moth damage, frayed edges, and structural wear in antique and modern rugs. Our Portland workshop specializes in fringe restoration and reweaving, using matching fibers to preserve authenticity. Early intervention prevents costly deterioration while maintaining collectible value.
Rug Pads
Custom-cut vinyl-backed pads protect hardwood floors and prevent rug slippage. Our recyclable felt pads absorb foot traffic stress, resist pet accidents, and allow easy cleaning. Proper padding extends rug life by reducing wear on both the rug and underlying surfaces.
Drop Off Cleaning
SE Portland location offers no-appointment rug drop-off and pickup. Customers receive immediate evaluations and pricing estimates. The facility provides off-street parking and quick processing, with typical turnaround times of 7-10 business days depending on repair needs.
Pet Urine Removal
Specialized enzymatic treatments penetrate rug fibers to eliminate pet odors at their source. This process removes both stains and biological residues without damaging dyes or fibers. Post-treatment inspection ensures complete odor neutralization and fabric safety.

It is a pleasure to do business with a person who loves their work. Quality of work excellent, and the owner is very knowledgeable about rugs. He understands that a rug is not just for foot traffic but that it can tell a story, is a part of ones life. He is a true craftsman. Highly recommend. Service: Area rug cleaning

Val and Randy were amazing! Very responsive and great communication. The rug looked great when it came back. They are experts, knew where my rug had come from and how to clean it (what to do and what to not do). The deliver guys were great too.

It takes a special kind of person to do this intricate detail oriented work. Renaissance Rugs, owners & employees, possess an "Encyclopedia Britannica" knowledge base that covers the history, geography, culture, manufacturing process, repair protocol, cleaning protocol, along with an artistic ability to address anything about your beloved rugs. They are enthusiasts. Do yourself a favor and take a tour.

I was enthralled by all they do. Oriental carpets are heirlooms that need periodic cleaning and repairs. Insure that your precious rugs will be treated correctly and with loving respect. Go see the amazing folks at Renaissance Rug Cleaning.

This company has been very professional and absolutely responsible regarding their work and the time estimates. I have recommended them to friends and continue to take all our carpet issues to Renaissance.

We took our rugs to Renaissance because we'd gotten a recommendation from a rug expert that they were the best. Our rugs look ( & smell ) clean, the people were friendly & helpful. A happy experience.

Very impressed with the care they took on cleaning my rugs and the quick turn around. My rug and runner both look brand new and I will definitely be back in the future.

People who value fine rugs (Persian, or other) can trust Randy and his crew for their knowledge and delicate care. They do a fine job in cleaning and restoring such rugs, while paying exquisite attention to details. Randy (the owner) understands the value of such pieces of art, and treats them artfully.

Renaissance was recommended to us and the first 2 rugs we took in came out so clean and soft and beautiful, that we ended up taking in every rug and kilim we own. They did wonderful work and are very knowledgeable.

The real deal. rug nerds who love to help people keep their rugs looking clean and cared for. I've had three flat weave hard-working rugs cleaned and repaired here. Also replaced the non-skid pads. The cost is reasonable, service is excellent and informed, and my rugs look new again- ready for another year or two of hard use.

My silk rug looked beautifully new and fresh. It had been my mother's rug and I had no idea how crisp the colors were and that the background and fringe were creamy white. This is the second rug I have brought to Renaissance and both have been easy, good experiences for me and the rugs.

Had our rug recently cleaned and could not be happier. Renaissance picked the rug up and delivered it back looking brand new. They were also able to remove a couple of stains and some damage from cat claws. Highly recommended!

As a dealer and collector, there are few people I would trust to wash my rugs and textiles. Randy is the clear exception. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of rug cleaning and can be counted on to do excellent work.
