Rug Cleaning
Our rug cleaning service employs traditional hand-washing techniques in a dedicated 2,800 sq ft facility. Each rug undergoes inspection, dry soil removal, and pH-neutral shampooing with Wool Safe approved products. Cold water rinsing and professional drying preserve fiber integrity while removing over 80% of embedded dirt and stains.
Pet Stain Removal
Specialized urine treatment utilizes enzyme-based solutions to break down organic compounds causing persistent stains and odors. This process effectively removes saturation from wool and silk fibers without compromising dye stability or textile structure, restoring rugs to their original condition.
Rug Repair
We offer comprehensive repair services addressing moth damage, fringe loss, and structural wear. Techniques include re-weaving, side cord replacement, and end damage restoration. Our artisans preserve historical integrity while reinforcing fibers to extend rug longevity through generations.
Color Restoration
Professional color restoration includes testing for dye stability and pH-balanced treatment to prevent bleeding. Our Wool Safe-certified process revitalizes faded colors in silk, wool, and cotton textiles while maintaining original vibrancy during cleaning cycles.
Fringe Reattachment
Fringe restoration services reattach loose or missing tassels using matching materials and knotting techniques. We clean and whiten existing fringe while preserving original craftsmanship, ensuring both functional durability and aesthetic consistency with the rug's design.
