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 White Plains
Most kilims can be used on either face, and flipping one every year spreads the wear across both sides. With 1961 as the median year built, a White Plains home often has wood or parquet floors, where a kilim creeps unless a thin pad grips it. Handmade rugs vary in how they take water: flatweaves can draw up when soaked, hand tufted rugs depend on a glued backing, and hand knotted pile has its own method. Turn the rug over before booking and note its construction on the tag, along with any earlier washing at home.
