01UNDERSTANDING YOUR PIECE

Care begins with
understanding.

Silk is among the most luxurious and delicate rug fibers. Its luminous sheen and fine texture require cleaning methods that avoid excessive moisture, harsh chemicals, and mechanical agitation. Our silk rug specialists use precision low-moisture techniques and pH-balanced solutions formulated specifically for silk fibers, restoring their natural luster without compromising structural integrity or color brilliance.

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.

Silk Rug Cleaning in Long Island City

A silk rug should be rolled loosely with the pile inside and never folded, since a crease can break silk fibers. In Long Island City condominiums hold 28 percent of homes, and the managers of those buildings often decide which elevator vendors may use and when, so ask whether a passenger car is allowed for a rug that is slim and light, and tell us its width. Silk also reacts badly to water, because a spill can leave a ring and the dyes can run. Blotting with a dry white cloth is the most to do before pickup; the cleaning itself uses very little moisture.
