Services
Area Rug Cleaning
Our specialized cleaning process removes 70%+ dry soil through mechanical action followed by biodegradable surfactant washing. Temperature-controlled drying prevents stiffness while preserving fibers. Final inspections ensure complete soil removal and fringe grooming for both machine-made and handmade rugs.
Pet Urine Removal
Immersion washing with natural enzymes targets deep-seated urine contaminants. Our dual-action treatment removes both odor sources and residual stains while maintaining wool integrity through pH-balanced solutions.
Rug Repairs
Handmade rug repairs use traditional techniques for fringe replacement, hole patching, and color correction. Our experts assess structural integrity before performing resizing, reweaving, or sprout removal to restore original condition.
Appraisals
Certified professionals analyze weave patterns, materials, and wear indicators to determine origin, age, and market value. Written documentation includes technical specifications and digital imaging for insurance or resale purposes.
Odor Removal
Multi-stage treatment eliminates smoke, mold, and pet-related odors using natural rinsing agents. Our process targets molecular odor sources rather than masking smells, ensuring complete elimination through deep fiber penetration.
