PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Oriental rugs represent centuries of artisan tradition. Our specialists understand the unique construction, dye chemistry, and fiber composition of each origin, from Tabriz and Isfahan to Oushak and Beni Ourain. Every oriental rug we receive is assessed individually and cleaned using methods calibrated to its specific weave, age, and condition. We remove embedded soil, restore vibrancy, and preserve the integrity that makes each piece irreplaceable.
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.
Oriental Rug Cleaning in Brooklyn
Light reaches Brooklyn rugs through the tall front windows of row houses and prewar apartment houses, and through the large windows common in buildings from 2000 or later, which hold 18 percent of the borough's homes. In either case the sun fades an oriental rug's dyes slowly and unevenly, starting on the side nearest the glass, and washing cannot put faded color back. To judge how far the change has gone, fold back a corner and hold the back of the rug beside its face; the knots on the back keep more of their first color. Note anything striking on the pickup tag. A shade lowered on bright afternoons slows further fading. Each oriental rug is tested for colors that might run before it is washed, and you hear what the tests showed before any water is used.
