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 on Staten Island
Buildings from 2000 or later hold 15 percent of Staten Island homes, and on the smooth floors of a newer house a kilim or dhurrie skates underfoot unless a thin pad holds it. Flatweaves can also shrink or lose their square if they are soaked and left to dry slowly, and hand tufted rugs carry a glued back that weakens when wet, so each piece is identified before a wash is chosen. Turn the rug over and describe its back on the tag, and say if it was ever cleaned at home with a rented machine or a garden hose.
