What we do

Rug cleaning, done by hand

The method

How we wash

Every rug goes through the same unhurried process. Cold water, plant-based soap, hands instead of machines. That is the whole method, and it is what keeps rugs looking like themselves.

  1. 01

    Inspect and dust

    We check the fibres, construction and dyes, then remove the dry grit that settles deep in the foundation of every rug.

  2. 02

    Cold-water hand wash

    The rug is washed by hand in cold water with a mild plant-based soap, worked gently through the pile and rinsed clean.

  3. 03

    Controlled flat drying

    Rugs dry flat in moving air, never hung wet and never rushed with heat, so they keep their size and shape.

  4. 04

    Grooming and final inspection

    The pile is brushed and the fringe finished by hand, and the rug goes through one last inspection before it comes back to you.

From our customers

What Manhattan says

“They picked up a heavy wool rug from our fourth-floor walk-up and brought it back looking like the day we bought it. The colours were noticeably brighter.”
Maya · Tribeca
“Our dog had other ideas about the Persian rug. They were honest about what would come out, and the smell is completely gone.”
Daniel · West Village
“Straightforward pricing, careful pickup, and the rug came back soft instead of stiff. This is how it should be done.”
Sofia · Chelsea
