Rug Cleaning
Our in-plant rug cleaning system combines traditional techniques with modern technology to remove deep-seated dirt and bacteria. Rugs undergo multiple washing cycles, CDC-approved disinfecting, and controlled drying to restore their original vibrancy while preserving fiber integrity. This comprehensive process ensures both aesthetic appeal and hygienic cleanliness for all types of handmade rugs.
Rug Repair
Expert craftsmen specialize in reweaving damaged sections using matching wool yarn to repair moth holes, burns, and frayed edges. Our restoration process maintains original tension and patterns, ensuring seamless repairs that extend the life of valuable Oriental rugs while preserving their artistic and monetary value.
Stain Removal
We employ specialized treatments for food and pet stains without additional charges in most cases. Our technicians use gentle yet effective solutions that target stain molecules without damaging rug fibers, restoring appearance while maintaining the rug's structural integrity through careful application techniques developed over decades of experience.
Scotchgard Protection
This protective treatment creates an invisible barrier against spills and stains while maintaining rug texture and appearance. Applied after cleaning, it allows for easier maintenance of rug appearance by preventing liquid absorption, making it particularly beneficial for households with children or pets seeking long-term protection.
Deodorizing
Our advanced deodorizing treatment targets odor sources at the molecular level rather than masking smells. The formula leaves rugs with a fresh, clean scent while addressing persistent pet-related odors through safe, non-toxic agents that won't compromise fiber quality or colorfastness during the cleaning process.
