in Chelsea
Every handmade rug is unique. We assess each piece individually to honor the artisan's work.

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 Chelsea
Handmade rugs dyed in strong colors can bleed when they get wet, and a red or a deep blue that has run into a pale ground is hard to put right. That is why each piece is looked at, and its dyes checked, before any water touches it. Walk-ups hold 18 percent of Chelsea's homes, and from one of those a rolled handmade rug is carried down the stairs. If a rug is damp when we come, keep it lying flat until then instead of rolling it, because rolling presses wet dye into the next layer. If a handmade rug has ever bled color after a spill, note it on the pickup tag.
