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 Greenwich Village
Moroccan pile rugs, kilims, dhurries and soumaks are all handmade, and each holds water in its own way. A thick Moroccan wool pile stays wet deep down long after its surface feels dry, while a cotton dhurrie can shrink if it is soaked and left to dry unevenly, so the drying is planned along with the wash. Some handmade rugs were never perfectly square, and a wash can make that easier to see; we point it out first. The 21,491 homes in Greenwich Village sit in 854 residential buildings of every age and size, so say on the pickup tag whether yours has an elevator and how many flights the rug must travel.
