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 Long Island City
An oriental rug that lies beside a window takes light across its whole surface for hours, and the end nearest the glass pales first. Seven in ten homes in Long Island City are in buildings put up in 2000 or later, and many of those buildings have large windows. Turn up a corner to see how much: the back of a rug stays in shadow and still shows the colors the weaver chose, so the difference from the face is the light's work. Cleaning cannot return color the sun has taken; it clears the soil from what is left. Tell us which end faced the window, and swap the ends of the rug each season from then on.
