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 Rye
A cotton dhurrie or a wool kilim is the handmade rug most likely to be washed at home, and the most likely to come out of it smaller or buckled, because flatweaves shrink unevenly when soaked and dried slowly. With 18 percent of Rye's homes built in 2000 or later, many flatweaves here lie on newer, harder floors where a thin pad keeps them from creeping. Turn the rug over before booking: if the pattern looks the same on both sides, it is a flatweave; knots in rows mean hand knotted; a glued cloth backing means tufted. Note it on the tag, and mention any home washing.
