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 Forest Hills
A kilim or a dhurrie can draw in at the edges or buckle when water reaches it and the drying is uneven, and a hand tufted rug hides a glued cloth backing that weakens when it stays wet. Turn the rug over before booking: a fine grid of knots means hand knotted, a back that matches the front means a flatweave, and a cloth backing means tufted. Write what you see on the pickup tag. Together, co-ops and condominiums account for 52 percent of local homes, and their house rules usually forbid shaking a rug from a window or a terrace, so a flatweave that needs more than a vacuum belongs in a full wash.
