Silk Rug Cleaning Service in Albany & Berne, NY

Silk rugs are works of art and can be very expensive. Cleaning a silk rug requires an acute knowledge of each rug’s origin, silk quality, dyes, and age of the rug. The common rug cleaning method of chem-dry process or dry-wash with foam and a sponge is not only the wrong way approach, but it can damage your silk rug. Instead, silk rugs must be cleaned professionally to avoid the chemical residues from common cleaning foams that will damage the silk fibers and cause brittleness and cracking that destroys the rug over time.

To get a proper silk rug cleaning, you need to contact the rug cleaning professionals from Jafri Oriental Rugs.

Important Issues in Cleaning Silk Rugs

Typically there are two problems with washing silk rugs.

Older rugs have been dried up due to the chem-dry process or lack of wash for many years and the fibers are very hard.
Sometimes, though rarely, the color of the rug can run upon exposure to water.

At Jafri’s, we study each rug and determine the country of origin and the specific province where it was made.

Accordingly, we decide on the appropriate process to properly wash and treat the rug. For example, Persian silk rug is mostly made with 100% natural silk and requires extreme expertise when washed with water. The Chinese silk rug can be natural silk too; however, most recently the new fibers are woven out of cotton resembling silk. It requires a completely different process than natural silk or it will fade.

Reviews From Our Customers

Mr Jafri is a pleasure to do business with. His workers have cleaned and repaired several of my rugs. The quality of work was excellent, and it was completely in a timely manner.

Dorothy Matthews

I bless the day I found Mr Jafri. As one who has collected rugs for 50 years, I both learned about their value and origins and had them beautifully cleaned and repaired.

Johanna Hall

Very beautiful rugs there, would have been a difficult decision. Only needed a rug pad this time. When we're in the market again, this is where we'll go. Pete, Delmar, NY
