PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Persian rugs are among the world's most coveted textiles, each reflecting the tradition of its region, from the intricate florals of Isfahan to the bold geometry of Heriz. Our cleaning approach accounts for the specific knot density, dye type, and wool or silk composition of each Persian piece. We work to lift embedded soil and bring back color while preserving the rug's character.
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.
Persian Rug Cleaning in Gramercy & Flatiron
Each Persian weaving region makes its own kind of rug. A finely knotted Kashan or Nain with silk outlines asks for a gentler hand than a heavy Bakhtiari or a Qashqai tribal rug, so we read the knotting and the dyes before deciding how to wash it, and natural dyes are stabilized before the rug goes in the water. In Gramercy & Flatiron, 57 percent of homes are in elevator buildings, and a room size Persian usually leaves rolled in the elevator. Please do not fold a large rug to make it fit: folding can crack an older foundation, and the crease can stay in the pile. Give us the length and width when you book, and we plan the carry from the door of your apartment to the street.
