    PORTLAND, OR, May 06, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Over 23 years ago, Randy and Valerie Hyde started Renaissance Rug Cleaning. A specialized workshop for rug cleaning and repair.

Randy explains; The name Renaissance came about from the return to natural dyes and the explosion of new and creative rug producers in the 1990s. "We called it the Renaissance in rug weaving; I figured since there was a Renaissance in rug weaving, there should be a Renaissace in Rug Cleaning," says Randy.

In the 1960-80s, wall-to-wall carpets displaced oriental rugs. By the 1990s, many specialized rug cleaning plants and the expertise that ran them were gone, closed, and retired, and specialized rug cleaning chemicals and equipment were essentially non-existent. So the name Renaissance Rug Cleaning fit.

Back in the late 1990s, most rug cleaners were carpet cleaning companies that repurposed steam cleaning or shampooed equipment to clean area rugs. "We wanted to clean rugs the right way to wash rugs properly by hand," Randy says.

"The equipment and cleaning solutions available in the market were not made for the traditional handwashing we wanted to do." Carpet cleaners repurposed carpet cleaning equipment to clean rugs with marginal results. I had to work with formularies to develop much milder wash solutions for oriental rugs," says Randy.

Randy might know something about rugs. He's spent time weaving, washing, and dye facilities in Turkey, Iran, and recently as a technical consultant in Afghanistan with new hand-woven rug productions. He's also a two-term past president of ARCS (Association of Rug Care Specialists).

What's the future hold for Renaissance? More of the same, I like the work we do domestically and consulting internationally. I'm at home with rugs, and we look forward to another 23 and more in business.

Renaissance Rug Cleaning is a specialty cleaner of oriental carpets and area rugs serving retailers, wholesalers, and international consulting for rug producers. Renaissance is one of a handful of specialized cleaners that focus on oriental and area rugs not a wide variety of cleaning services, carpet, rug upholstery, fire smoke, and water.
