Arrange a pickup
PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Antique rugs require an extraordinarily careful approach. Age, natural dyes, and delicate fibers demand cleaning techniques that prioritize preservation above all else. Our specialists evaluate each antique piece for colorfastness, structural integrity, and fiber fragility before selecting a cleaning protocol. We use gentle, low-agitation methods that remove decades of accumulated soil while honoring the character and patina that make your rug a treasure.
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.
Antique Rug Cleaning in Hoboken
Buildings finished before 1940 hold 32 percent of Hoboken homes, the brownstone rows of the side streets among them. An antique rug there may lie on the parlor floor of an old rowhouse, and old floors move with the seasons: a rug on boards that rise and dip wears through along the high points first, and a felt pad evens the load. Before pickup, look at the back for thin lines across the weave and for brittle patches near the ends, and mention them on the tag. The cleaning is matched to what the foundation can bear, and every repair is noted with you first.
