Christian-Lorraine was formed by Langdon T. Christian, IV and John K. Lorraine Jr. in 1985 and is currently owned by Rebecca B. Lorraine and Ruby C. Lorraine. We are known as Virginia's premier Oriental rug cleaning and restoration specialists, renowned for our hands-on expertise in caring for antique and modern oriental rugs.
We feature an in-plant cleaning process where your fine rugs are carefully wet washed by hand. We also have restoration artists that repair, restore, and preserve your fine carpets through careful hand-sewn techniques. PLEASE NOTE: We are still offering curbside service OR you may come inside for in-store drop offs and pick ups.
Please call us at 804-344-0081 when you arrive and let us know your preference. For in-home pick ups and deliveries, we are still not coming into large retirement buildings. Please call us for more information.

Services
Christian-Lorraine specializes in the hand cleaning of not just oriental rugs but also hooked, braided, needlepoint, and machine made rugs. We cannot clean jute, sisal, seamed rugs, or fur skins. Please give us a call if you are unsure. Our standard cleaning includes dust and grit removal with our beating process, then a full wet wash with a mild detergent, spot stain treatments, and fringe cleaning.
The first step in our cleaning process is removing the dirt and grit from the rug. Rugs are hand fed into our beater machine where soft bristle brushes help guide the rug through the machine. Inside the machine leather straps rotate hitting the back of rug, knocking the dirt and grit out of the foundation of the rug.
At Christian Lorraine Oriental Rugs we take pride in having a hands-on and high-quality restoration/repair department. We can repair/restore fringe, selvedge, pile wear or moth damage, and holes or tears. We also work on hooked and braided rugs, rag rugs, and machine made rugs. We strive to offer several repair/restoration options to fit your needs and budget.
Unfortunately, due to supplier issues, we are no longer able to carry SLA moth spray and nuggets for sale. We recommend Eco Supreme pad because unlike all other pads it has a chemically inert backing, provides a moisture barrier, holds up to washing, and the non slip backing will not breakdown or stick to your floors over time.
At first our turn around time may seem a bit long, but please remember all of the cleaning and repair work is done by hand. We would rather take a few days longer to ensure that your rug gets the proper and personal attention that we have built our reputation on. We appreciate your patience and understanding with the extended wait times for repair services.
