Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to clean a fragile antique or heirloom rug?
Yes, with the right care. We start with a condition check and use the gentlest effective method to avoid stressing fragile areas.
Will cleaning an antique rug reduce its value?
No. Proper, gentle cleaning helps preserve an antique rug. It is harsh DIY methods and built-up soil that actually lower its value.
How do you handle worn spots, holes, or loose fringe on an antique rug?
We handle these areas carefully and can recommend repair or stabilization for worn spots, small holes, and loose fringe before they spread.
How often should a low-use or display antique rug be cleaned?
A display or low-traffic antique can usually go to the longer end, around every two to three years, but we will advise based on its condition.
