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 Scarsdale
Handmade covers rugs that react very differently to water: hand knotted pile, kilims and other flat weaves that can shrink, hand hooked rugs on a burlap backing that grows brittle, and hand tufted pieces held together with glue. In a newer house, one of the 15 percent from 2000 or later, a flatweave on a smooth floor slides unless a pad holds it, and a thin felt pad is kind to the finish. Turn your rug over before booking and tell us on the tag what its back looks like; if it was ever washed at home or in a machine, say so.
