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 Tribeca
Walk-ups hold only 2 percent of homes in Tribeca, so a handmade rug almost always leaves by elevator, and from there its construction decides the work. A flatweave such as a dhurrie takes water differently from a knotted pile rug and can shrink or lose its shape if it dries carelessly, while a hand tufted rug relies on a glued backing that soaking can weaken. Each piece is looked at on its own before a plan is made. If you are unsure how the rug was made, choose I'm not sure on the pickup tag; we will identify it. Tell us too if it has ever been washed at home, since a home wash can leave detergent in the foundation.
