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 Long Island City
About a third of homes in Long Island City are condominiums or co-ops, and their managing agents often limit vendor visits to set hours, so choose a pickup day that falls inside them. A handmade rug may be knotted by hand, hand-tufted onto a glued cloth backing or woven flat as a kilim or dhurrie, and the three behave differently once wet. If you are not sure which you have, turn up a corner: knots show on the back of a knotted rug and cloth shows on a tufted one. Write what you see in the Anything else box.
