Persian, Turkish and heirloom rugs from Scarsdale formal rooms, tested color by color, washed by hand and returned with free pickup and delivery.
Formal living rooms and dining rooms in Scarsdale are often where a family keeps its best rug: a hand-knotted Persian, a Turkish piece bought on a trip, or a rug that came from a parent's house.
These rugs can last generations, but only if they are washed the right way. Machine methods made for carpet can make dyes bleed and fringe fray.
We hand-wash oriental rugs at our facility, with testing at every step, and return them ready for the room.
When we pick up your rug, we look at the back to see how it was made. Hand-knotted rugs show each knot on the back, while machine-made and tufted rugs look different and need a different approach.
We test every color for bleeding before washing. Reds and dark blues are the ones that usually run. If a dye is weak, we adjust the water, the temperature and the cleaning solution to protect it.
The rug is dusted to remove the fine grit that sits deep in the knots, then hand-washed and rinsed. Fringe is cleaned and combed as part of the job, not as an extra.
Wool rugs that are washed every few years keep their softness and shine longer. Grit that stays in the pile cuts the fibers each time someone walks over it, so regular cleaning is really about protecting the rug, not only how it looks.
Big windows in Scarsdale houses let in a lot of sun. Over the years, one side of a rug can fade more than the other. Cleaning will not undo sun fading, but it removes the dull film that makes it look worse, and we can suggest turning the rug every year.
Rugs in rooms that are rarely used can attract moths, especially under sofas and chairs where it stays dark. We check for moth damage and tell you what we find.
Old repairs, worn ends and thin areas are noted on pickup, so there are no surprises. If a rug needs repair beyond cleaning, we tell you honestly and do not push work it does not need.
Most oriental rugs come back in about a week. For everyday rugs, our area rug service is the better fit. Carpets in the same home can be handled with carpet cleaning.
