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 Chelsea
Chelsea's older homes, the 39 percent in buildings from before 1940, include the rowhouses of the Chelsea Historic District, where rooms often have old board floors. Uneven boards let grit collect in the low spots under a rug, and that grit wears the back of an oriental rug from below; a thin pad evens it out. The dyes are tested for bleeding before any water touches the rug, and earlier repairs are noted so you know what to expect. If the rug has been cut down or rebound to fit a room, mention it on the pickup tag, along with its width and length.
