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 Murray Hill
A flatweave rolls thin and light, a knotted pile rug thick and heavy, and from the 21 floor building that holds the typical Murray Hill home either one goes down by service elevator. Name the kind on your pickup tag, or copy what the label on the back says; the assessment confirms it before any cleaning starts. Flatweaves such as kilims and dhurries shrink or ripple if dried carelessly, and hand-tufted rugs have a glued backing that should not stay wet. If a tufted rug has been soaked, lay it flat to dry and book soon, because its backing weakens the longer it stays damp.
