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 Prospect Heights & Fort Greene
Some handmade rugs have a deep pile of undyed wool, the shaggy Moroccan style among them, and that depth holds a great deal of soil out of sight. Thick pile also sheds loose fibers for a long time, which is normal, and pale wool can yellow where soil and spills are left to sit. Vacuum such a rug without the beater bar, which tears at long pile, and give small ones a shake outdoors. Every handmade piece is checked for how it was made before a wash is chosen. With the median home here in a building from 1939, many rugs lie on old oak or parquet; a felt pad under a thick handmade rug keeps it from creeping and protects the finish.
