PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Silk is among the most luxurious and delicate rug fibers. Its luminous sheen and fine texture require cleaning methods that avoid excessive moisture, harsh chemicals, and mechanical agitation. Our silk rug specialists use precision low-moisture techniques and pH-balanced solutions formulated specifically for silk fibers, restoring their natural luster without compromising structural integrity or color brilliance.
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.
Silk Rug Cleaning on the Upper West Side
A crease can break silk fibers, so a silk rug should be rolled loosely and never folded, even to fit an elevator. Nearly three in five Upper West Side homes are in elevator buildings; if the car in yours is small, tell us its size along with the rug's width and length, and we plan the route out. Silk also reacts to water and rubbing: dyes can run, rings can form and the pile loses its sheen where it is scrubbed. If something spills, blot it gently and stop there. Check the label too, if there is one: rugs sold as art silk or bamboo silk are usually viscose, which reacts to water even more than silk does, and we need to know before the rug is assessed.
