Services
Oriental Rug Cleaning
Our technicians hand-clean oriental rugs using gentle methods to preserve fibers and colors. We repair tears, re-dye bleached areas, and restore fringe while maintaining cultural authenticity. Stain removal and colorfastness testing ensure safe, effective treatment for antique and modern rugs alike.
Upholstery Restoration
We remove pet odors, stains, and wear from fine upholstery through hand-cleaning and specialized formulas. Free pickup/delivery protects furniture from transport damage. Our process restores fabric integrity while eliminating allergens and embedded soils.
Drapery Cleaning
In-home drapery cleaning preserves delicate fabrics without removal. Our technicians target dust mites and stains using advanced technology, extending fabric lifespan while maintaining original texture and appearance for both residential and commercial spaces.
Tapestry Repair
Fragile tapestries receive meticulous hand-cleaning and restoration by specialists trained in historic preservation. We address fading, stains, and structural damage while maintaining original craftsmanship, ensuring heirloom pieces retain their artistic and monetary value.
Carpet Maintenance
Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning targets high-traffic wear patterns and embedded soils. We apply soil retardants post-cleaning to protect investments. Camouflage techniques help conceal existing wear patterns when repositioning area rugs.
