Expert care for wool and wool-blend rugs, maintaining natural lanolin and preventing shrinkage.
Arrange a pickup
PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Wool is prized for its resilience, warmth, and natural soil resistance. However, improper cleaning can strip lanolin, cause shrinkage, or distort the pile. Our wool rug cleaning process respects the fiber's natural properties, using temperature-controlled water and wool-safe solutions to deep clean without damage. The result is a thoroughly cleaned rug with revived texture, restored softness, and vibrant color.
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.
Wool Rug Cleaning on the Upper East Side
Wool is the fiber of most hand-knotted rugs, Persian and Turkish pieces among them, and of many newer tufted rugs, and it holds soil deep in the pile. A wool rug can look fine on top while grit at the base of the pile slowly cuts the fibers. A full wash removes that grit along with the dust of a busy apartment. Wool is also what clothes moths eat, and they work under sofas and along walls where a rug is rarely moved, so we check those areas on every wool rug. In the co-ops and condominiums that hold more than half the homes on the Upper East Side, the building's service elevator usually sets the pickup time, so mention its hours when you book.
