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 Tribeca
In Tribeca, 46 percent of homes date from before 1940. An antique rug in one of those old rooms may be older still, and age weakens a rug from the inside: the cotton foundation dries and stiffens, and damp from a flowerpot or a leak can rot it unseen beneath sound looking pile. Rot of that kind cannot be washed out, so we feel the foundation for stiff or weak areas and point them out, with any earlier repairs, before cleaning starts. Keep flowerpots on a stand, off the rug, and lift anything wet off an old rug at once. If it has been through a leak, say so when you book.
