When to care for a rug yourself, and when to call a specialist
Most day-to-day rug care is something you can do at home: vacuum with suction, rotate the rug a couple of times a year, blot spills with cool water, and use a good rug pad. The guides here walk through each of those. Some jobs, though, belong to a specialist. A hand-knotted wool, silk, or antique rug, a set-in pet accident, water damage, or moth damage all call for a controlled facility wash or a repair, because the wrong home method can bleed dyes, shrink the foundation, or set a stain for good. When a guide points you toward professional help, that is why. Our Certified Master Rug Cleaners test every rug first and give an honest recommendation before any work begins.
Color-safe by test, not by guess
Every rug is dye-tested before it touches water. The color you love stays exactly where the weaver put it.
