Oriental and Persian rug hand-washing for Noyack homes, with dye testing, moth checks and free pickup.
A hand-knotted rug is often the piece an owner is most careful about. In Noyack we see heirloom Persian rugs in year-round homes and antique runners that came out to the summer house to give it warmth.
These rugs do not like damp air or strong cleaners. A bay house that stays humid all summer, or a closed house in winter, can bring musty smells, mildew or moths. They need a slow hand-wash and careful drying, not a carpet machine.
We pick the rug up, bring it to our plant, and return it when it is done.
Think of a hand-knotted rug as wool on a cotton or wool frame, tied knot by knot. Every part of the cleaning is chosen so it does not stress those knots, the dyes, or the foundation.
Our crew turns the rug over on your floor before rolling it. The back tells us a lot: how tight the knots are, whether the rug was repaired before, and if moths have been eating the base where nobody looks.
Color comes next. A damp white cloth is pressed on each shade, from the deep reds to the pale ivory. When a dye moves onto the cloth, we switch to a cooler, gentler wash so nothing runs into the field.
Grit is the quiet enemy. Bay sand and dried soil sit at the root of the pile and cut the fibers every time someone walks across. We remove that dry dirt with a long dusting before the rug ever gets wet.
The wash itself is done by hand, with a mild cleaner made for wool, and a long clear rinse. Drying happens flat, in a room where air and temperature are controlled, which takes time.
Houses that sit closed for months are where moths do the most harm, often under a bed or sofa that never moves. Larvae and insect treatment is part of this service, and we point out any bare spots that need repair.
Tassels and fringe are washed and combed by hand. Because the process is slow, we give you a return date at pickup rather than a guess.
