PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Antique rugs require an extraordinarily careful approach. Age, natural dyes, and delicate fibers demand cleaning techniques that prioritize preservation above all else. Our specialists evaluate each antique piece for colorfastness, structural integrity, and fiber fragility before selecting a cleaning protocol. We use gentle, low-agitation methods that remove decades of accumulated soil while honoring the character and patina that make your rug a treasure.
We discuss the condition, recommended treatment and expected outcome with you. The appropriate method is selected after inspection; not every treatment is suitable for every rug.
Antique Rug Cleaning in Astoria
The building that holds the median home in Astoria dates from 1931, so an antique rug here can be about as old as the building it lies in. Rugs of that age have often lived in more than one apartment, and each move can leave a mark, such as a fold line where the rug was creased to fit a hall or an end where the fringe was trimmed back. Run your fingers over any old fold line and tell us if the foundation feels dry or crackles. An antique rug is washed with the least agitation the soil allows, and before work starts we say how much of its age will remain.
