Why Manhattan Homeowners Trust Our Antique Rug Services
Specialized Knowledge for Aged Textiles
Our technicians understand the unique challenges of cleaning rugs that are 50, 75, or even 100+ years old.
Hand-Crafted Cleaning Approach
We never use machines that could stress fragile fibers. Every antique piece gets individual attention with careful hand-washing that respects the original craftsmanship and preserves structural integrity.
Natural Fiber Protection
Wool rugs and silk pieces require different treatment methods. We adjust our process based on fiber type, dye stability, and age to prevent shrinkage or color bleeding.
Heritage Dye Preservation
Antique rugs often use natural dyes that fade with improper cleaning. Our pH-balanced solutions protect original colors while lifting dirt and restoring vibrancy to dulled areas.
Structural Repair Options
Found weak spots or fraying edges? We partner with restoration experts who can repair damage before or after cleaning, keeping your investment protected for future generations.
Our Antique Rug Cleaning Process
Detailed Inspection
We start with a full inspection to identify the rug’s age, material, dye type, and weak areas before cleaning.
Dust & Soil Removal
We gently beat and vacuum the rug to remove dry soil and particles trapped deep in the fibers.
Hand-Washing
Each rug is carefully hand-cleaned using gentle brushes and fiber-safe detergents never harsh chemicals or machines.
Rinse & Neutralizing
We rinse the rug thoroughly with temperature-controlled water to remove residues and restore softness.
Odor Removal & Conditioning
Our eco-friendly deodorizers remove musty smells and refresh the rug without artificial fragrances.
Controlled Drying
We dry the rug naturally in a humidity-controlled space to protect its shape, color, and quality.
