If you own a silk area rug that has been in your home for a few years, you have probably faced a few unavoidable accidental spilling incidents by now.

Why Silk Rugs Should Be Handled With Extra Care
Area rugs made of silk are, needless to say, some of the most fragile and delicate types of carpets you could select for your home. While the silk fibers are delicate on their own, silk on itself is quite durable, which turns the existence of these rugs into a paradox for many. Our skilled and experienced technicians are familiarized with the manufacturing process and craftsmanship of these area rugs. They know exactly how to assess, test and clean these carpets without causing any additional damage.

The wrong cleaning product used on your precious silk rug could immediately cause staining or some different type of damage done to the fibers. Repairing a silk rug that has been in your family for generations will cost a lot more than you would be willing to pay.

We know how to test, assess, choose the right cleaning method that is most suitable for your exact type of rug and provide you with the custom-made solutions you need. Keep in mind silk is like no other fabric and should be handled with a lot more care compared to other types of carpeting.
The Cleaning Process
- Upon assessing your silk rugs for the first time, our expert cleaners will establish all the fabrics in them in order to reveal the most suitable cleaning procedures. Some could cause irreversible damage to your beloved carpet, so this step of the process is mandatory.
- Our technicians will further determine the type of staining you are confronted with in order to decide upon an even more efficient approach.
- The colors your silk rug is covered in will also play an important role in the same process. Whether they are prone to run while the rug will be washed with water is a huge factor our cleaners will take into account. Most silk area rugs are dyed with running colors, which means trying to wash them on your own at home could cause a disaster.
- The presence of any additional wool or nylon fibers embedded into the silk will also influence the way we will tackle the cleaning.

FAQs
Are silk rugs safe to clean professionally?
Yes. When cleaned by experienced professionals using the right techniques, silk rugs can be safely cleaned without damaging the delicate fibers or natural sheen. We specialize in silk rug care throughout NYC.
What is the safest way to clean a silk rug?
We use a low-moisture, pH-balanced hand-washing process designed specifically for silk. This gentle method removes dirt and stains without causing fading, fiber weakening, or texture changes.
Can you remove stains from a silk rug?
Yes. We use custom spot treatments for silk that break down stains without affecting the rug’s color or finish. However, fast treatment is essential — silk absorbs quickly, so stains set faster.

We recommend professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months for silk rugs, or sooner if exposed to foot traffic, pets, or spills — especially in Brooklyn, NYC apartments where indoor dust and pollution build up quickly.

Yes. We offer convenient pick-up and delivery throughout Brooklyn, NYC. Silk rugs are cleaned off-site by trained specialists and returned in pristine condition.
