Specialized Cleaning is the First Step of Repairing

Repair of rug starts with its thorough cleaning. Dirt, dust, stain and every foreign material lodged in the rug is taken out. It is to be done with utmost care, without causing further damage to the rug.

We take care that reweaving and patch work is done by careful professional hands only.

Reweaving or Patch Work, Leave it to Experts

Original weaving differs with the origin of rug. We make sure that weaving pattern is closely inspected before reweaving the damaged patches and the appropriate yarn is selected to get the perfect texture. We also look into the fact that the count, twist and color are matched exactly with original weaving to restore the damaged patch. This decision of reweaving or total replacement of patch depends upon how much area is damaged. In case a large area is affected then it is better to replace the patch than to reweave the damaged area as the replacement will be cost effective.

As old rugs go out of shape so it is better that the gentle stretch and block methods be used to bring back the rugs to original shape. Also we make sure that fringing is done else edges of rugs may get frayed. In such a situation method known is over cast to secure edges. If sides are worn, Persian bindings are used to secure the rug. Even moth proofing is a necessity to prevent further damage to the rug.
