Our Silk Rug Cleaning Process

Designed Specifically for Delicate Silk Fibers

1️⃣ Inspection & Dye Stability Testing
We carefully analyze fibers, dyes, knot density, and overall condition to determine safe cleaning techniques.

2️⃣ Fine Dust Removal
Silk rugs trap fine dust and particulates - we use gentle dusting tools to remove them without damaging fibers.

3️⃣ Spot & Stain Treatment
Specialized silk-safe solutions target stains without weakening delicate threads.

4️⃣ Silk-Safe Washing Method
Depending on the rug’s age and construction, we use:

• Hand-washing with silk-safe detergents

• Light submersion bath (for stable dyes)

• Controlled low-moisture cleaning for fragile or vintage silk rugs

5️⃣ Gentle Rinsing & Moisture Extraction
Removes contaminants while protecting fiber sheen and structure.

6️⃣ Temperature-Controlled Drying
Prevents shrinkage, warping, and color fading - essential for silk.

7️⃣ Soft Grooming & Final Inspection
Restores silk’s natural luster and luxurious feel.
