When the Nepal Tibetan carpet washing process is complete, it is very well dried. Spreading the Tibetan carpets in the sun does the drying. Some carpet washing industries, however, do also have steam-drying provision but it is only used during emergency, when the weather is not good. Otherwise, all carpets that are exported from Nepal are sun-dried after washing.

After the weaving and trimming operations have been completed, the carpet is washed. The purpose of washing is to clean and enhance the natural lustre of wool and these are achieved through removing surface dirt and excess dye and looseing and straightening the pile by the chemical and physical action applied during the washing process. Carpets can be washed in two ways: (a) simple soap and water washing and (b) chemical washing. Washing with the chemicals gives a better washing effect than an ordinary washing.

Until the late 1980s, refined carpet washing was done only in Europe. As Tibetan carpet production increased, however, European facilities became overburdened, resulting in considerable delays in timely delivery. Moreover, the refined but costly washing process in Europe gradually became highly questionable with respect to the real value of the carpets. Consequently, carpet washing was introducing to Nepal.

Once the Nepal Tibetan carpet is complete, it is removed from the loom and put on a flat surface. Then Tibetan rugs and carpets is trimmed or clipped with the help of the scissors. There are basically, two objectives of the clipping, one is to maintain uniform length of the pile and the second is to distinctly curve out the motifs embodied in the design. To maintain the pile length the Nepal carpet is given flat trimming or clipping throughout the carpet body, whereas to make the patterns distinct each pattern is individually clipped. But in both the cases. Very serious care has to be given, otherwise the look or the appealing effect of the carpet may be ruined and best design red carpet discarded.
