Oriental and Persian rug cleaning for Sunset Park homes, with dye testing, hand-washing at our plant and free pickup and delivery.
Families from China, Mexico, the Middle East and many other places call Sunset Park home, and a good number of them own a rug that came with them or was handed down. A hand-knotted wool or silk piece can outlive the people who bought it, as long as nobody ruins it with the wrong wash.
That is why these rugs leave the house. Scrubbing them on the floor with a strong carpet machine can pull knots loose and push dirty water into the foundation.
Testing the colors comes first, before any water. Natural dyes in older rugs sometimes run, and we have to find that out at the start.
Most families here have walked on their good rug every day for years, not just on holidays. That kind of use is fine for a well-made rug, as long as it gets a proper bath every so often to clear out the grit.
Our crew brings it out of the row house rolled pile-in and wrapped. Heavy wool rugs are stiff, and a fold can crack the base, so a fold is never used.
Back at the plant, the knots, ends and thin areas are examined. The rug is then beaten and dusted, since sand hidden low in the pile acts like sandpaper under every footstep.
Washing is done by hand with mild, eco-safe soap. The rug is rinsed, then laid flat to dry slowly in the shade. Tassels are cleaned and brushed out.
Silk rugs and pieces with very bright reds need extra care, because those are the colors most likely to move. If a rug is too fragile to wash fully, we say so and suggest a lighter cleaning instead.
Moths like wool that sits under a bed or a heavy cabinet. When we find larvae or bald patches, the rug is treated, and we mark the spots for you.
Rugs placed near the stove or a sunny front window also tend to need more attention. We let you know what we notice before the bath starts.
