Arrange a pickup
PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Antique rugs require an extraordinarily careful approach. Age, natural dyes, and delicate fibers demand cleaning techniques that prioritize preservation above all else. Our specialists evaluate each antique piece for colorfastness, structural integrity, and fiber fragility before selecting a cleaning protocol. We use gentle, low-agitation methods that remove decades of accumulated soil while honoring the character and patina that make your rug a treasure.
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.
Antique Rug Cleaning in White Plains
Buildings finished before 1940 hold 30 percent of White Plains homes, and an antique rug from an older house may carry traces of how it was once laid: tack holes along the edges, rust spots from nails or tape glue on the back. Rust and old adhesive need their own treatment before a wash, and some marks will not lift completely. Before pickup, look along the edges and the back, and note anything like this on the tag. The cleaning follows what the foundation can bear, and earlier repairs are shown to you first, with a word on how each one is likely to behave.
