PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Handmade rugs, whether hand-knotted, hand-tufted, or flatwoven, represent a personal investment in craftsmanship. Each piece has unique characteristics that demand individualized attention. Our specialists examine the weave structure, fiber blend, and dye method of every handmade rug before designing a custom cleaning plan. This ensures the artisan's work is preserved while delivering a deep, revitalizing clean.
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.
Handmade Rug Cleaning in Astoria
A handmade rug in Astoria often goes down a flight or two, since the median home is in a building of 3 floors, and what the rug weighs depends on how it was made. A kilim or dhurrie rolls thin and light, a thick knotted rug of the same size makes a heavy bundle, and a hand-tufted rug rolls stiff because of its glued backing, which also weakens if it stays wet. Flatweaves can ripple or shrink if they dry unevenly. Name the kind on the pickup tag, or choose I'm not sure under Your piece, and the assessment settles it before any cleaning.
