01UNDERSTANDING YOUR PIECE

Care begins with
understanding.

Silk is among the most luxurious and delicate rug fibers. Its luminous sheen and fine texture require cleaning methods that avoid excessive moisture, harsh chemicals, and mechanical agitation. Our silk rug specialists use precision low-moisture techniques and pH-balanced solutions formulated specifically for silk fibers, restoring their natural luster without compromising structural integrity or color brilliance.

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.

Silk Rug Cleaning in Cobble Hill & Carroll Gardens

The brownstone and brick row houses on these blocks have tall front windows, and a silk rug near one takes direct sun for hours. Silk fades and weakens in strong light, and washing cannot bring the color back. Draw a sheer curtain in the brightest hours, or move the rug out of the line of the glass. A spill should be pressed with a dry white cloth and left at that, since silk reacts to water and the cleaning keeps moisture low. Prewar buildings hold 52 percent of the 36,334 homes counted here, so tall windows are part of many of these rooms.
