Oriental Rug Cleaning in Remsenburg-Speonk, NY

Some of the most valuable things in a house are underfoot. In the older Remsenburg homes we find Persian rugs that have been in families for generations. In Speonk, it might be one good rug in the living room that someone bought with care.

A hand-knotted rug is made of wool or silk tied by hand on a base of cotton or wool. It can last a lifetime, but strong cleaners, hot water and harsh scrubbing can damage it fast.

We pick it up for free, wash it by hand at our plant, and bring it back when it is ready.

We see two kinds of oriental rug in this hamlet. In the older Remsenburg houses, there are inherited Persians and antique runners that have lain on the same floor for many years. In Speonk, it is more often a single good rug that someone saved for, set in the living room and protected from the kids and the dog as much as possible.

Both deserve the same patience. Before the rug leaves your home, we flip it over together. The back shows the knots, the old repairs, and any moth trails where the pile has been eaten from below. You get our honest opinion and a price right there.

In our shop, every color is checked with a damp white cloth. Some reds and blues in older rugs are not stable. When that happens, the wash is kept cool and short in that area, so the color stays where it belongs.

Then comes a long dusting. Years of grit build up at the base of a hand-knotted rug and slowly cut the wool. Taking it out is one of the most useful things a cleaning does for the rug's life.

The wash is done by hand with a mild solution made for wool, followed by a full, clear rinse. The rug dries flat in a room where air and temperature are controlled, which takes time, so we give you a return date when we collect it.

Houses near the creeks stay damp, and summer homes sit closed for months. Both are good conditions for mildew and moths. We check for them and treat moth larvae as part of the service. Fringe is washed and combed by hand, and we tell you if it needs repair.

For machine-made rugs, our area rug cleaning is quicker and simpler. Just east, we also wash oriental rugs in Quogue.
