Silk is not wool. Silk is not cotton. Silk is a protein fiber, and it behaves more like your own hair than like any other rug material in your home. One wrong step — too much water, the wrong pH, a rotary brush — and your silk rug loses its shine forever. That's why we never machine-scrub silk. We hand-wash it, slow and careful, the way silk has been cleaned for centuries. If you own a silk rug in a Manhattan apartment, you already paid a lot for it. Trust someone who treats it that way.
Silk threads are thin and soft. They can break with rough scrubbing or hot water. We clean by hand using cool water and a soft touch, so the fibers stay strong and the rug keeps its smooth feel.
Most silk rugs use natural dyes that run when wet. We test every color first with a small dye-safe check. Our organic cleaning method keeps colors locked in.
What makes silk look like silk is light bouncing off the smooth fiber. Harsh soap strips this away and your rug looks dull. We use a mild plant-based wash that keeps the shine alive.
The base of a silk rug is usually cotton or silk knots. Too much soaking can rot them. We control water use and dry the rug flat in our shop so the base stays tight.
Cleaning silk is not a one-size job. Every rug we pick up gets looked at first, then matched with the right wash plan. Here's what we check and do before any water touches your rug.
We come to your Manhattan home, wrap the rug, and take it to our cleaning shop. No mess in your apartment.
Most of the dirt in a silk rug is dry soil deep in the pile. We remove it gently before any wet wash starts.
We test every color on your rug with a clean white cloth. If any dye moves, we change our method right there.
We wash by hand with cool water and a soft, plant-based soap. No machines. No hot water. No bleach.
Silk dries flat in a controlled room. This stops shrinking, warping, and water marks on your rug.
We brush the pile back into place and check every inch for spots before it goes back to you.

A silk rug is not something you hand to just anyone. You want a company that's been doing this for years, picks up the phone, shows up on time, and brings your rug back better than they found it. That's the whole job. We've been doing exactly that since 2005, and most of our work comes from word of mouth.
No shortcuts. Every silk rug goes through the same eight steps in our shop, start to finish. Here's exactly what we do.
Step 1
We come to your apartment, look at the rug, and quote you on the spot.
Step 2
We wrap your rug in clean cotton and bring it to our wash plant.
Step 3
Special tools shake out years of fine dust trapped deep in the silk pile.
Step 4
We test every color block by hand to make sure nothing will bleed.
Step 5
Soft brushes and plant-based soap clean the rug by hand only.
Step 6
We rinse three times with clean cool water until no soap is left at all.
Step 7
The rug dries flat in a temperature-controlled room for two to three days.
Step 8
We brush the pile, inspect every inch, then deliver it back to your door.
