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 Bronxville
Just 5 percent of Bronxville homes are in buildings from 2000 or later, and on older floors a flat woven rug can catch on a raised board or a nail head and tear along a weft. Run a hand across the floor before the rug goes back down, and lay a thin pad to lift it clear of small snags. Handmade rugs differ in how they take water: flatweaves can shrink, hand tufted pieces have a glued back that weakens when wet, and knotted pile is washed by its own method. Turn the rug over and note on the tag what its back shows.
