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 the Bronx
Buildings from 2000 or later hold 17 percent of Bronx homes, and their floors are often smooth engineered wood or tile, where a kilim or dhurrie slides with every step and gathers into folds. A thin rug pad stops that, and it keeps the folds from wearing into lines across the weave. Handmade rugs react to water in their own ways: flatweaves can shrink, hand tufted rugs have a glued back that should not stay wet, and loose dyes can run. Look at the back before booking and tell us what you see, and mention any cleaning that was done at home.
