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 in Washington Heights and Inwood
Winter salt from the sidewalks comes in on boots and settles in the first rug inside the door. In Washington Heights and Inwood, where walk-ups hold 42 percent of homes, it climbs the stairs on every trip home and ends up in the rug by the apartment door. Salt draws damp into wool and leaves the pile stiff and dull, with white marks where it dried. Vacuum it once the rug is dry and leave the marks for the wash instead of scrubbing them, since scrubbing pushes salt deeper and frays the pile. A boot tray just inside the door through the winter keeps much of it off the rug. While the rug is with us, we also look it over for moth damage, which favors wool left in quiet corners.
