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 Forest Hills

Silk loses color and sheen in strong sun. Buildings from 1940 or later hold 78 percent of the homes here, and in an apartment with a south or west window the rug nearest the glass can sit in light for hours each afternoon. Turn it end to end every few months and draw a sheer curtain on bright days. Water marks silk too, so blot a spill straight down with a dry white towel and never rub, because rubbing frays the filaments and dulls the sheen for good. Every silk rug is tested before cleaning, and faded areas are shown to you first, since washing cannot restore lost color.
