PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Antique rugs require an extraordinarily careful approach. Age, natural dyes, and delicate fibers demand cleaning techniques that prioritize preservation above all else. Our specialists evaluate each antique piece for colorfastness, structural integrity, and fiber fragility before selecting a cleaning protocol. We use gentle, low-agitation methods that remove decades of accumulated soil while honoring the character and patina that make your rug a treasure.
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.
Antique Rug Cleaning in DUMBO
The median home in this area is in a building from 2010, and an antique rug is usually far older than the building it lies in. Age shows first in the foundation, where cotton threads dry and stiffen, and a rug that has been folded can crack along the fold. We check the foundation, the ends and the sides, test the colors for bleeding and tell you where repairs or weak spots limit the work. If the building has a freight elevator, say so when you book: a long antique rug travels rolled loosely and lies flat in that car, where a passenger cab would force it to bend.
