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 the West Village
Many kilims are woven in blocks of color with small slits where one block meets the next, and those slits belong to the weave. Flatweaves like these have no pile to hide soil or wear, and they can shrink, ripple or bleed if washed carelessly, so each handmade piece gets its own cleaning plan before any water touches it. On a smooth floor a flatweave slides and creases, and a thin pad under it holds it still and saves wear.
