Why did the customer contact us?


Solutions provided:

We recently had the incredible opportunity to clean an antique Persian Bijar rug that we are estimating to have been handwoven around the 1860s-1870s. Katherine found us with a quick internet search and after learning about our cold water immersion rug washing process, she knew we were the only place that she could trust to properly clean her rug. Since Katherine's rug is over 150 years old, it was especially important that it be cleaned with extra care. Our cold water immersion washing method, reduces concerns of dye-bleeding and is gentle on the delicate fibers of these antique rugs. Katherine was very happy with the results and we were happy to prolong the life of her beautiful rug!
