Persian and oriental rugs from White Plains condos and houses, washed by hand after testing, with free collection from your lobby or front door.
When people move from a big house into a downtown White Plains condo, the furniture often gets smaller, but the best rug comes along. In the city's residential neighborhoods, fine rugs still sit in dining rooms and living rooms.
Hand-knotted pieces need patient hand-washing, never a carpet machine.
Pickup and return are free, from your building lobby or your front door.
High-rise living rooms get strong light through big windows. Over years, the sunny side of a rug can fade and its fibers can dry out. Cleaning removes the gray film that makes fading look worse, and we suggest turning the rug so it ages evenly.
Downsizing can mean a large rug now sits folded or rolled in a closet. Stored rugs attract moths and can crease. If yours has been put away, we check for damage and clean it before it goes back on a floor.
Pets in condo buildings can leave urine spots that go through to the foundation. On a hand-knotted rug, urine can also weaken dyes, so we treat it with products that neutralize odor without stripping color.
Where a rug lies near a radiator or heating vent, the wool can dry out and become brittle. We note it and suggest moving the rug or adding a pad that lets it breathe.
Every dye gets a test before washing. Older rugs and some newer ones use colors that can bleed, and the method changes if we find a weak color.
Rugs that lie in a busy entry, where people take off wet shoes after a walk from the train, get gritty fast. More frequent cleaning helps those rugs last.
Grit is removed first, by beating and vacuuming from the back. Then comes a hand wash with a mild solution suited to the fiber, and a long, clean rinse.
We can also tell you if the rug is hand-knotted, hand-tufted or machine-made, which helps you decide how to care for it in the future.
Fringe gets its own wash and combing. If tassels are already broken or missing, we write that down and can discuss repair.
Drying is done flat and complete, so the rug comes back soft and without any damp smell.
Expect most rugs back within seven to ten days. Machine-made or everyday rugs fit our area rug service better.
