Oriental rug cleaning for Park Slope homes: Persian, Turkish and other hand-knotted rugs, picked up, hand washed and returned.
Park Slope's parlor floors, with their high ceilings, wood floors and fireplaces, are a natural home for fine rugs. Many families here have a Persian or Turkish rug that came from a grandparent, or one they found at an estate sale and love.
These rugs are often decades old and made with natural wool and plant dyes. They need gentle, careful washing, not the same process as a machine-made rug.
We pick the rug up at your door, clean it by hand at our facility and bring it back when it is fully dry.
If you are not sure whether your rug is hand-knotted, look at the back. A hand-made rug shows the same pattern on the back as on the front. Our technician can also tell you when we arrive.
Every rug is inspected first. We look at the fringe, the edges, the foundation and any old repairs, and point out problems like moth damage or worn areas before cleaning, so there are no surprises.
Then comes a dye test. Some older rugs have colors that can run when wet. We test small spots and choose a cool-water wash and gentle wool-safe products to match.
We remove the dry soil from the back before washing. A rug that has sat in a busy family room for years can hold a lot of grit deep in its knots, and this grit cuts the wool over time.
The rug is washed by hand, rinsed well and dried slowly and evenly. Fringes are cleaned by hand too.
In a family home, a fine rug often meets a spilled drink or a puppy. Tell us about any accidents, and we will treat those areas carefully.
Sunny parlor windows can fade one side of a rug over the years. Turning the rug every year or so helps it wear and fade evenly, and we can lay it back down in a new direction if you like.
A rug pad helps protect a valuable rug and keeps it from sliding on wood floors. For everyday rugs in the kids' rooms, our area rug cleaning is the right fit. In Prospect Heights we offer the same oriental rug care.
