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 Greenpoint
Turn a handmade rug over and the back shows how it was made. On a hand-knotted rug the pattern is as sharp on the back as on the face, because the knots are tied row by row; a tufted rug has a plain cloth backing glued over its yarn, and a flatweave looks nearly the same on both sides. The wash differs for each. A tufted rug can take less water, and a flatweave can shrink or ripple if it dries carelessly. Construction also sets the weight: in a building of 4 floors, where the median Greenpoint home sits, a flatweave rolls light and tight for the stair, while a thick knotted rug is heavy. Say what you see on the back in the Anything else box, or choose I'm not sure for Your piece.
