PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Oriental rugs represent centuries of artisan tradition. Our specialists understand the unique construction, dye chemistry, and fiber composition of each origin, from Tabriz and Isfahan to Oushak and Beni Ourain. Every oriental rug we receive is assessed individually and cleaned using methods calibrated to its specific weave, age, and condition. We remove embedded soil, restore vibrancy, and preserve the integrity that makes each piece irreplaceable.
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.
Oriental Rug Cleaning in Greenwich Village
Hand-knotted Oriental rugs often show bands of slightly different shade across the field, called abrash, where the weaver used wool from separate dye lots. Washing makes those bands clearer; they belong to the rug and are no fault of the cleaning. The real risk is a dye that runs, such as a red bleeding into an ivory ground, which is why each color is tested for stability before the rug gets wet. Close to a fifth of Greenwich Village homes are in walk-ups, row houses among them, and a room size Oriental rolled for the stairs is long and heavy. Tell us its length and how tight the turns are at the landings, and clear the stair of anything the roll might catch.
