Arrange a pickup
PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Antique rugs require an extraordinarily careful approach. Age, natural dyes, and delicate fibers demand cleaning techniques that prioritize preservation above all else. Our specialists evaluate each antique piece for colorfastness, structural integrity, and fiber fragility before selecting a cleaning protocol. We use gentle, low-agitation methods that remove decades of accumulated soil while honoring the character and patina that make your rug a treasure.
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.
Antique Rug Cleaning in Roslyn
Only 16 percent of homes here predate 1940, many of them in Roslyn's historic village, and an antique rug in an old house may have lost the flat woven band at its ends, the kilim end that locks the last rows of knots. Without it, knots work loose a few at a time with every vacuuming. Look along both ends before pickup; if the band is gone or the knots look loose, note it on the tag, and keep the vacuum off the ends. Loose ends are handled with care in the wash, and you hear first what cleaning can and cannot do for them.
