Services
Shaia Oriental Rugs has been in the business of taking care of your oriental rugs since 1973. We understand the construction, textiles, and dyes used in rugs and how to make sure they are maintained properly. Our oriental carpet cleaning is done by hand using cold water and hung to dry. Hot water cleaning can damage your carpet by causing the dyes to run.
Shaia Oriental Rugs has over 35 years of providing quality oriental rugs and carpets. Our philosophy is one based on integrity, knowledge, and steadfast tradition. Some of the most spectacular rugs you've ever seen can be found in our showroom. Spread out in front of you and piled high around the room are hundreds of extraordinarily beautiful rugs from all over the world, including Persia, Afganistan, Pakistan, India, and Turkey.
Don't: Assume you can use the same cleaning products as you would your wall to wall carpet. The wool in an oriental rug contains natural lanolin (sheep oil) as well as different types of dye than you would see in a wall to wall carpet. A lot of spot cleaning products for carpet will cause damage to the wool and dyes in your oriental rug.
I would like to recommend Shaia Oriental Rugs of Williamsburg for their quality of antique and new rugs. As an Interior Designer, I often design rooms with an oriental rug as the major piece of art, choosing colors and designs that complement the carpet. You will find beautiful works of art at Shaia that will inspire lasting beauty in your home.

Many thanks to Shaia for taking care of my antique Oriental rugs once again! Always receive excellent care and service - wouldn't dream of having my rugs cared for by any other company!

My husband and I purchased a Sarouk runner from Shaia at the 2021 Delaware Antiques Show. We were impressed with both the quality and selection available. Service was exceptional and the entire experience was very informative. We expect to become repeat customers.

Great rug cleaning experience (2nd time with Shaia). Punctual pick up and return by William and crew. Very helpful in ensuring large rug (11X14) was perfectly positioned in family room. Rug looks like new.

Have been a customer for many years. The men who picked up the rugs were cheerful and helpful. They have always replaced the rugs under furniture for me.
It’s always a joyful,worry free experience to call Shaia for rug cleaning.

I have four rugs that I bought overseas in the late '90s when I was in the US Navy. Took them to Shaia to get cleaned and light repair. Shaia did an outstanding job at a reasonable price! I also noticed they have an excellent selection. Highly recommended!

I found a lovely Kilim when Shaia Oriental Rugs where at a antique show in Nantucket. Straight up about the rugs condition and he gave me a fair price. Very pleased. Plus he gave me a can of the best Peanuts.

We brought a Bijar runner to Shaia Oriental Rugs to be cleaned. Our dog Toby had had an accident on the rug which had set in by the time we discovered it. I tried to clean the stain with a commercial cleaner that was supposed to remove the odor and stain without harming the rug. Well, the colors did run so I took it to Shaia to see if they could correct it. I realize that this was asking a lot since once the colors run its is quite impossible to restore it to its original form. I was really happy with the result. The involved area is now almost imperceptible to see. Thank you so much Shaia! I won

Excellent service. Wonderful people-knowledgeable and nice. Very reasonable cost for cleaning a oriental rug. Free pick up and delivery. Have purchased carpets from Shaia for 40 years and remain a loyal customer. Highly recommend Shaia for purchasing or caring for all nice oriental rugs.

I have purchased two carpets from Shaia Oriental Rugs and love them both. The first purchase was a room size hand-knotted Romanian rug featuring deer, lions and birds which is so unique. It has been on my floor for 30 years, and it again looks new since having it cleaned by Shaia. I recently purchased a smaller Pakistan-made rug for my bedroom. That rug has a light color, floral design that fits well with my pastel bedroom décor. Both are thick, wool rugs that feel wonderful underfoot. I will not buy a rug online because I need to see the colors and quality before purchasing, so I am lucky to

A great selection of rugs, friendly and knowledgeable staff, always willing to listen. Recently purchased two rugs and it was, as always, a good experience and reasonable prices. Will never go anywhere else for my rug purchases, cleaning, pads, and advice!

Great cleaning service. They will pick up and return large carpets. They did a great job on a rug we had with dog urine stains.

*This review is solely for the carpet cleaning aspect of the business*

I recently took 5 or 6 of my parents rugs to Shala for cleaning and they did a fantastic job. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a young man (forgot his name, but he was very nice) who helped me drag the rugs out of my trunk. He gave me an estimate on how much the rugs would cost to clean (charge by the sq. ft.) and also told me they could fix the fraying at the end of the rugs where the vacuum had done its damage. Considering my parents have had their rugs for 30 years, it was worth having them fix the fraying so that they
