Selecting the right cleaning service can make or break it and that’s a huge risk to take when you think of what they cost! With professional cleaning services, you will find that not all cleaning processes are equal. While machine cleaning of them is faster and cheaper, it is much harder on it and can create permanent damage. We do not even offer the option of machine cleaning. Hand washing is the only true option when you are cleaning an exquisite rug. And unlike some companies, we never uses heavy chemicals. We only use gentle cleaning agents that we trust and have used for years. We believe in transparency with the customer and will do our best to answer any questions you have and put your mind at ease. We want you to feel completely comfortable placing it in our care!

Oriental Rug Cleaning
Orientals are each unique – their colors, their crafting, their patterns and age – anything that goes into the creation of the rug can make a difference in the cleaning process. Many of these are created by expert weavers who have been learning this trade their entire life, usually passed generation to generation! This is how such beautiful work comes into being. They employ their knowledge of ancient patterns, their moods, and more to help them select the colors and patterns that will go into these masterpieces. Most customers will use them to set the tone in a spacious room or will occasionally hang them as a wall decoration. Regardless of what you do to preserve them, natural wear will occur and ultimately, cleaning will be required.
If you know when and where it originated, that’s wonderful! Knowing that will help us select the best care regimen for your rug. If not, that’s okay, too! We carefully inspect it ourselves before we begin any part of the cleaning process to understand more about it. Not only is this to help establish the nuances of it, but occasionally the lighting difference will show us a stain we didn’t notice initially, or a section that may need light repair. Things like the materials, the type of dye used, and the type of knots in it will adjust our cleaning routine. We tailor each process specifically to the individual rug to get the optimum results. We have a great deal of experience in cleaning Orientals and, whether it is antique or new, we will have it looking brand new in no time!

Antique Rug Cleaning
Antique rug cleaning is the most challenging and demanding type of rug cleaning we encounter. There are so many variants that go into the analysis of the rug and so many factors that come into play over the years, even decades, of its existence. The dyes and fabric are frequently more brittle because they did not have the recent advancements in processes, and the fabric has aged, so no matter what it was originally it becomes much more delicate with time and wear. Like most people, you probably put off cleaning until it was absolutely necessary! We understand, and if we didn’t know us, we would do the same thing. Yet, cleaning is inevitable, and it is important to place it in the right hands.
When cleaning antique rugs, we always err on the side of caution. Just as with our other cleaning processes, we will inspect your rug and know every minute detail and fiber before we ever touch it with water. Once we begin cleaning it, we use an extremely gentle dry cleaning and then hand wash with a light touch. After we are certain it is refreshed and any stains are removed, we move on to drying. Then we squeeze the material tenderly, to remove any excess moisture that could sit on the fibers or tamper with the colors and dyes. Following the natural drying process, it will be ready to return home!

Persian Rug Cleaning
Persians are truly awe-inspiring masterpieces. Taking anywhere from a few months to a year to create, they have increased in popularity during recent years. On the high end of the price spectrum, Persians are often treated as heirlooms by the owners and passed through the generations, treasured for years to come. It can be tempting to avoid cleaning them entirely out of fear something will happen to it, but that is actually the worst thing for it. Postponing cleanings will allow any dirt and dust that has accumulated to seep deeper into it and be ground into the material by foot traffic. This can result in staining and discoloration and requires a deeper cleaning that may be harsh on the fibers. It is additionally challenging, because Persians are usually made from a combination of materials – wools, silks, and cottons. It is necessary to pick the right wash technique that can accommodate all of the materials, as well as the pre and post colored thread dyes used.
Whether it is ready for a light clean, or you made the mistake of letting it sit too long between cleanings, we have you covered. We will take great care when cleaning it to be sure it returns to you with its beautiful colors bold and beautiful again. If any parts of it have faded over the years, from dirt or sun, we can professionally restore and recolor those segments, returning it to its original luster.

Silk Rug Cleaning
Silk is frequently underestimated. In respect to strength, silk is a remarkably durable material and can hold its shape quite well. However, the delicacy of the material lies in its appearance and reaction to liquids and dirt. Silks appearance can change in the blink of an eye when it is put in contact with moisture, leaving rings and a variety of spots on the fabric. Dirt can become ground in and will mar the appearance and hue of the rug. Silks can also have more detail than many others – more knots and a variety of colors and beautiful designs. Cleaning silk is quite an undertaking and many rug specialists will decline to clean silk due to fear they will damage it more or leave water stains themselves.
We are confident in our ability to clean silks and have been serving satisfied customers for years. The secret lies in the washing and drying process, where speed and gracefulness are key. We always utilize a dye stabilizer to insure there will not be any bleeding from the colors, and we only wet the material as much as necessary to get a good clean. No excess liquid can be left on the rug, and we lightly wring the material immediately after to reduce any streaking. Our goal is to have the rug dried within only a few minutes of washing it, and your rug will have its original, magnificent appearance when it arrives back at your home.

Wool Rug Cleaning
Wool rugs are highly durable and tend to wear better than most materials. They have a natural liquid and flame repelling ability, and a luxuriously thick and cushioned texture. These traits combined give wool a unique, relaxed and homey feel, making it the perfect rug for central areas in the home that may gain more foot traffic. However, because the wool fibers are so dense, the same trait that makes it durable also makes it susceptible to dirt. As particles work their way into it some will become trapped in the dense fibers, where even a vacuum cleaner just can’t remove it from the rug, and you definitely don’t want those particles to get ground into the wool. This is why regular cleanings are necessary for wool rugs, it will help prevent those dirt particles from becoming trapped and will keep it fresh and comfortable for years to come.
The depth of the wool provides incomparable cushioning, but also makes it more costly and time consuming to clean. They take longer to wash, and much, much longer to dry than the average rug material. With wool, it is important to begin the process when it is dry, first doing a dry removal of dirt and grime, so the water does not make the particles run further into it. Once we have removed as much dry grit as possible, we begin the liquid cleaning process. Because wool can hold water easily stain, we use only our natural cleaning solutions and warm water, so as not to change the coloring or texture of your beloved rug.
