PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Wool is prized for its resilience, warmth, and natural soil resistance. However, improper cleaning can strip lanolin, cause shrinkage, or distort the pile. Our wool rug cleaning process respects the fiber's natural properties, using temperature-controlled water and wool-safe solutions to deep clean without damage. The result is a thoroughly cleaned rug with revived texture, restored softness, and vibrant color.
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.
Wool Rug Cleaning in Harlem
Grit is a steady danger to wool, cutting the fibers at the base of the pile with every step. Street grit comes in on shoes and ends up in the first rug inside the apartment door, so a mat outside that door spares the rug a good deal of wear; of Harlem's 83,600 homes nearly all are apartments, and that first rug is the one to watch. Clothes moths eat wool, and in heated rooms they can breed in winter as well as summer. They lay eggs where a rug is left alone: along a baseboard behind furniture, in the corner behind a door, under a bed. Once a month, turn back those edges and look for loose tufts, bare threads or fine silky tubes, and note anything you find on the pickup tag; a moth treatment can be added once the rug is clean.
