Rug Cleaning
Our rug cleaning process uses hand washing techniques tailored to each rug's material and condition. We remove stains and odors while restoring color vibrancy and texture. Fringe and edge repair is included to maintain structural integrity. We avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the rug's longevity and authenticity.
Rug Repair
We offer comprehensive rug repair services including fringe replacement, edge binding, and hole restoration. Color correction and reweaving match original patterns using traditional methods. Each repair is done manually to ensure durability and maintain the rug's artistic value while addressing wear and damage.
Rug Restoration
Rug restoration involves reweaving missing sections, color restoration, and structural repairs for aged or damaged pieces. We address moth and water damage while reconstructing fringes and foundations. Custom plans are developed for each rug to revive its original condition and extend its lifespan.
