Age plays an important role in the care of an antique area rug. Many
Oriental and other handwoven area rugs can survive for hundreds of
years if cared for properly. Even if you are unsure exactly how old your
family heirloom is, our experts are so well-versed in antique rugs that we
can help you estimate its age so that we can build a treatment plan that
works for it. Once we determine the details of your antique area rug, we’ll
schedule a free pick-up and bring it to our state-of-the-art cleaning
facilities to begin the cleaning process. At our facilities, we have all the
best equipment needed to clean, repair, and restore your antique rug to
its original brilliance. Our favorite part of the process is laying the freshly
restored rug back onto your floor and watching your amazement as you
take in the brightness and brilliance of your unique exquisite rug.
The process starts with cleaning set-in dirt and stains using dry cleaning
and wet cleaning methods that are safe and effective for your rug. This
may include blowing or shaking out loose dirt, soaking your rug in warm
water to lift dirt, and finally, hand washing each individual spot to ensure
thorough cleaning. We then dry your antique rug in a way that prevents
stiffness, color loss, and other damages that can happen during the
drying process. Finally, we address any additional problem areas, such as
rips, tears, discoloration, and unraveling or missing patches on the rug.
No matter what shape your antique rug is in, our experts are confident
that they can revive it to its original brilliance and give you back an
antique area rug you’ll proudly display in your home. Call us today to
