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 Bayside
Newer houses are few here, with 7 percent of homes in buildings from 2000 or later, so many handmade rugs lie on older wood floors that may dip and shift underfoot. A kilim or dhurrie laid loose on boards like those creeps and folds, and each crease wears through before the rest of the weave does; a thin pad keeps it flat and still. A hand tufted rug is held together by a glued cloth back that weakens if it stays wet, while a hand knotted one is washed by its own method, so turn the rug over and write what the back looks like on the pickup tag. Mention any cleaning done at home, too.
