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 in Washington Heights and Inwood
Steam heat dries the air through the winter, and prewar buildings hold 81 percent of homes here, many of them heated that way. In very dry air a silk rug can build static and pull fine dust onto its surface, and the anti-static finish at the end of our work is meant for exactly that. Vacuum silk gently with suction alone and keep the beater bar away from it. Silk also wears faster underfoot than wool, so if a silk rug lies in a hallway or just inside the door, a quieter room will keep it longer. Spills on silk should be blotted, never rubbed.
