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 Brooklyn Heights
Lift a corner of a hand-tufted rug and look at the floor: fine crumbs of yellow or white mean the latex that holds the tufts is breaking down. A rug in that state takes less water, and we tell you what a wash can and cannot do before we start. A hand-knotted rug has no such backing, and neither does a flatweave, so each is washed in its own way. Co-ops and condominiums together hold 55 percent of Brooklyn Heights homes, and their boards often ask for notice before a vendor arrives, so list your building's rules on the tag along with what you see on the back.
