Hand-knotted rugs are not just aesthetics or floor coverings; they are valuable investments, family heirlooms, and pieces of art. Whether it’s a Persian rug, a Turkish rug, or a tribal Afghan rug, you’ve invested money into the craftsmanship and artistry of your rug.

We are proud to serve Englewood Cliffs, Fort Lee, Tenafly and all other towns in Bergen County with the most meticulous, safe, and specialized cleaning on every type of hand-knotted rug.
Our Hand-Knotted Rug Cleaning Process
Every hand-knotted rug we service gets the same level of care and respect. Our cleaning process will always be customized to the rug’s origins, materials (wool, silk, cotton), materials (if dyed; stable dye or food dye), soiling, etc.
1. Inspection
A full inspection is conducted before cleaning to ascertain the rugs weave, material, condition, stains, dye stability, moth damage, or other repairs that may need to be done prior to cleaning. Dry soil is the primary cause of enduring damage to rugs. We use a combination of compressed air or gentle vibration to encourage deep-set dust and grit to dislodge from both sides of the rug, but without disturbing the pile.
3. Color-Fastness Testing
Before we begin washing, we carry out a dye test to check for any bleed or fade of color through the cleaning process. The use of a dye stabilizer may be used, should there be particularly vivid colors.
4. Gentle Hand Washing
Every hand-knotted rug is washed entirely by hand, with shampoos that are pH-balanced for natural wool or silk. The fibers are gently massaged while washing to release oils, dirt and stains; while ensuring that stress is not applied to the foundation.
5. Soft Water Rinsing
The rug is rinsed thoroughly by softened water, using a controlled-temperature rinse to remove soaps and contaminants, ideally leaving no residue.
6. Controlled Drying
Rugs are dried flat in our climate-controlled facility. During drying, we shape and groom the pile to preserve the natural lay and turn the rug over to dry both sides.
7. Fringe and Finishing
Fringes are hand cleaned and combed. We do a final grooming of the pile and brush it to restore softness, texture and consistency.
