Fine-rug care for Hampton Bays: Persian, Turkish and other knotted pieces taken off site, bathed by hand and returned, free both ways, with an eye on salt air and damp.
A good wool or silk rug can live for generations, but beach-town life is hard on it. Fine sand works into the knots, damp air near the canals invites mildew, and the sun through big bay-facing windows can fade one end of the rug faster than the other.
Our van collects the rug from your house, the washing happens by hand in our own shop, and the rug comes home again without a delivery bill.
Nothing gets wet until the rug has been studied. Knots, foundation threads and the fringe are looked over, and every dye is spot-tested, since some older colors will run under the wrong treatment.
Dusting is next. Beach grit buried in the pile behaves like sandpaper on the wool, and shaking and beating it loose before the bath pulls out more dirt from a beach-house rug than most owners would guess.
The bath is gentle and hands-on, using eco-safe products picked for wool or silk, then rinsed clear and dried slowly. Fringes get separate care, and if anything is damaged we raise it with you.
Moths go for wool that sits under furniture or stays rolled in a shut summer house over the winter. Any larvae or thin spots we find are pointed out, and we can treat for them.
When your rug comes home, rotate it every so often so the sun from the bay windows fades it evenly. If it lies in a damp room, a breathable pad underneath helps it stay fresh.
Water from a burst pipe, a leaking ice-maker or a storm can hurt a fine rug quickly. If it happens, lift the rug off the wet floor, let it get some air and call us soon. The sooner we see it, the better the chance of saving the colors and foundation.
