Rug Cleaning
Our rug cleaning service combines traditional techniques with modern technology to remove deep-seated dirt and stains. Using purified cold water at high flow rates, we cleanse fibres without damaging dyes or structures. This process effectively addresses decades of accumulated grime while preserving the rug's original texture and colour vibrancy.
Carpet Restoration
Specialist carpet restoration services revive damaged textiles through careful reweaving, colour stabilisation, and structural reinforcement. Our technicians handle silk, wool, and cotton materials using age-old techniques passed down through four generations, ensuring antique pieces regain their former glory while maintaining historical authenticity.
Stain Removal
Professional stain removal tackles even permanent marks using chemical analysis and targeted treatments. Our laboratory-tested methods address red wine, coffee, ink, and bleach damage without compromising fibre integrity, restoring rugs to their pre-stain condition through precise application techniques developed over 100 years.
Moth Removal
Comprehensive moth removal combines organic deterrents with preventative protection. Our Moth Shield solution uses natural oils to create vapour barriers that repel pests while eliminating existing infestations. This treatment protects both carpets and clothing without introducing harsh chemicals into living environments.
Fringe Repair
Expert fringe repair services restore damaged edges using matching materials and traditional weaving techniques. We implant new threads or repair existing fringes to maintain structural integrity and aesthetic continuity, ensuring delicate antique pieces receive appropriate reinforcement while preserving their historical character.
