Gentle, dye-tested washing for Persian, Turkish and other handmade rugs from Coney Island apartments, with lobby pickup and a free quote.
Many families in Coney Island have one special rug: a Persian that came with grandparents, a wedding gift or a piece bought on a trip. It may be the most valuable thing in the living room, and it deserves careful cleaning.
Hand-knotted rugs are made of natural wool or silk with natural or older dyes. They can bleed, shrink or lose shape if cleaned the wrong way. So we test every color and check the fringe and foundation first.
Then we decide with you: clean it gently at home, or bring it to our facility for a full wash and slow drying.
Sand is a real enemy of wool rugs. Each grain cuts the fibers a little every time someone steps on it. A full wash removes the sand hidden deep in the knots.
Salt air and humidity can make wool hold moisture. A rug that never fully dries may smell musty or grow mildew on the back. Our facility dries rugs slowly and completely.
Silk pieces need special care because water can dull the sheen and loosen weak dyes. We stick to silk-safe methods, and when a rug is too fragile for us to promise a good result, we say so.
Pet urine can change the colors of an oriental rug for good. The sooner it is treated, the better the chances. Call us soon after an accident.
If your rug lies in a sunny window facing the water, it may fade on one side. Turn it once a year so it fades evenly.
We carry the rug down to the lobby and back up again, so you do not need to move it.
If your rug is machine-made, area rug cleaning is usually enough. You can see the rest of what we do on the main Coney Island page.
Moths are less of a problem in busy rooms and more of a problem in closets and under beds. A rug that has been rolled up in storage for years should be checked before it goes back down.
Fringe often turns gray first because it is the part that gets vacuumed and stepped on most. We wash it by hand and comb it straight.
