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 Harlem
Brownstone parlor floors and the front rooms of Harlem's prewar apartment houses tend to have tall windows, and two thirds of Harlem homes sit in buildings older than 1940. An oriental rug under that light fades from the window side, often more at one end than the other, and the change creeps in over years before anyone sees it. To check, compare the end nearest the window with a patch that has stayed under a sofa or a table, out of the light. Color lost to the sun does not return with washing, though clearing out the soil makes the colors that remain read more clearly. From then on, lowering the shades on bright afternoons and reversing the rug's position every spring and autumn keep the fading even.
