Antique rug cleaning with extra care
Antique and heirloom rugs carry history and value, and they are often more fragile than they look. Older dyes can be unstable, the foundation may be weak in places, and fringe and edges are often worn. Cleaning them the wrong way can cause damage that cannot be undone.
We inspect every antique rug closely before we clean it, test the dyes, and choose the gentlest method that will work. If we see weak areas, we tell you and can stabilize them with repairs before or after cleaning.
How we clean your rug
- Pickup: We roll and wrap your rug at your home. Pickup and delivery are free across Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Inspection and dye test: We check the fibers, the foundation and any damage, and test the dyes for bleeding.
- Dust removal and wash: A vibrating machine removes dry soil, then the rug is bathed and hand washed with soft brushes.
- Dry and deliver: Climate-controlled drying and a final inspection before we bring the rug home.
What we look for first
Unstable dyes, dry or brittle wool, weak spots in the foundation, worn fringe and edges, moth activity and old repairs.
