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 Williamsburg
A rug sold as art silk or bamboo silk is almost always viscose, a fiber spun from wood or bamboo pulp. It looks and shines like silk, yet water weakens it: wet viscose mats, browns and loses strength, so a spill on it calls for a dry cloth and no water at all. On either fiber, press straight down and never rub. If you are unsure which yours is, say so on the pickup tag, and the fiber is tested before any cleaning. Buildings finished before 1940 hold 47 percent of Williamsburg homes, and their steam radiators run hot and dry through the winter; keep a silk rug well clear of them, since dry heat leaves silk brittle.
