Wool, silk & all things hand-knotted

Rugs we wash for Aventura homes

Different fibers and dyes want different handling — that’s the whole reason we test first. Whatever the type, each one gets the same in-plant treatment: measured, pH and dye tested, deep-dusted, washed, and speed-dried.

Persian Rugs

Some vintage Persians carry dyes that let go in water. Before anything gets wet we run a colorfast check and ease off the wash for the pieces that call for caution.

How we read the dyes →

Wool Weaves

Wool is an animal fiber, and the harsh alkaline cleaners built for synthetic carpet strip it flat and dull. We hold our shampoo in the mild range wool was meant to meet.

See the bath itself →

Fine Silk Rugs

Silk asks for restraint — softer tools, less agitation, a lighter touch overall — then the same managed dry that holds its luster and keeps the colors sharp.

The gentler routine →

Antique and Heirloom Rugs

With an antique, the aim is preservation as much as cleaning. When a full wash would risk more than it gains, you’ll hear that from us before any money changes hands.

Preserve, or rebuild →

Navajo and Dhurrie Rugs

Flatweaves and Navajo pieces get a colorfast check first, then a brisk wash and a fast dry, so those saturated bands never bleed into one another.

Flatweave handling →

High-Pile Shags

On a long-pile shag the dusting step carries the load — sand settles right down at the roots, and it has to be worked loose before water ever enters the picture.

Sand out of the roots →

Custom & Handmade

Custom and irregular sizes are washed in keeping with how each one was constructed — and we can trim a fresh pad to the exact footprint once yours is dry.

Tell us the size →

Oriental Rug Care

A hand-knotted Oriental is a standalone textile, nearer a tapestry than a floor covering. It belongs in the wash pit for a real soak, not under a wand pushed across it in the living room.

Down to the pit →

By hand, kept in-house

Repairs done under the very same roof

Anything we notice at inspection comes with a plain call: worth fixing, fine to leave, or not worth it if the repair would outrun the rug’s value. Each one is stitched by hand, here in our shop, and never farmed out. Repair examples →

From your door and back again

What does your rug go through once it reaches our plant?

The pre-inspection

We lay the rug out, measure it, log the wear, staining and any repair flags, then run the pH and colorfast tests. The quote follows all of that, before another step is taken.

Dust

Pounds of dry grit hide below the pile — and a waterfront condo still tracks in sand from the beach and the marina. That dry load is beaten and drawn out well ahead of the wash.

Wash

A true immersion wash in a mild pH shampoo, chosen for the fiber and the dyes in front of us — easy on fragile wool and silk, insistent on soil worked deep into the pile.

Speed-dry

Then into the climate-controlled drying room. Drying quickly and evenly is what keeps one shade from creeping into its neighbor.

Groomed, then home

Pile groomed back into line, fringe combed straight, a final once-over — then delivered to your building. Collection and return are free anywhere in Miami-Dade County.

Roughly seven days, door to door

Why the shop beats the truck

Can the tower’s carpet crew just handle the rug while they’re up here?

It comes up in nearly every Aventura residence we visit. The condo already has a vendor on file for the wall-to-wall in the bedrooms, and the good rug anchoring the living room feels like it could ride along on the same visit.

But fitted carpet and a hand-knotted rug are built for opposite treatment. Carpet is stretched and tacked to the floor, meant to be scrubbed where it sits. A fine rug is a free-standing textile — wool or silk pile tied to a cotton foundation, dyed with colors that were never meant to bake under a hot extraction wand.

Clean a good rug in place and three things go quietly wrong: the fine grit stays locked in the foundation, the dyes can creep, and the rug dries slowly against your marble or wood. In the salt air and humidity that roll in off the Intracoastal, that slow, uneven drying is exactly how browning and a musty edge take hold.

A rug that grounds a whole room deserves a proper bath, not a passing scrub.

So we take the unhurried route in our own plant instead: measured, tested, dusted, bathed in a mild pH shampoo, and dried under controlled conditions. Wool, silk, antique, Navajo or shag — walk through every step here.

And when a rug honestly doesn’t need the plant — a newer synthetic that’s safe to freshen in place — we’ll say so and spare you the bother.

Nothing sprung on you

What you can expect when you call

High-rise logistics are our daily routine — valet desks, service elevators and pickup windows included.

Evaluation before everything

The measuring, inspecting and pH and dye tests all happen first, and the exact figure lands before any cleaning starts.

Washed at our own plant

Start to finish, your rug is handled under our own roof — nothing farmed out, nothing shipped off to a distant workroom.

An honest timeline

Figure on about a week for most rugs. If a repair stretches that out, you learn it at the inspection rather than on delivery day.

Delivery, scheduled

Collection and return cost nothing across Miami-Dade. Once your rug is finished we phone you and lock in a time that works.

In-plantEvery rug washed here

By handEvery repair, in-house

Ring the shop and you’re straight through to the same people who wash and repair your rug, from intake to delivery. None of it is farmed out, and no rug is hauled off to some regional wholesaler you’d never lay eyes on.

Much of our work comes from Aventura families and building managers who have relied on us for years, and the neighbors they pass our name along to.

What we hold ourselves to to every Aventura customer

The exact price, before any work

Your rug is inspected and tested first, and the figure we hand you at pickup is the figure you pay.

Free pickup & delivery

We collect from your building and bring the rug back ourselves, anywhere in Miami-Dade County, at no charge.

One plant, nothing subcontracted

Washing and hand repairs happen under our own roof. Your rug never rides off to an outside workroom.

An honest assessment, always

If cleaning isn’t worth it for your rug, we tell you so at the inspection — even when it costs us the job.

How the number gets set

Why can’t we price your rug over the phone?

Because two rugs of identical dimensions can call for entirely different work.

A sound machine-made 8×10 is an easy wash. That same footprint in a hand-knotted rug — unstable dyes, years of buried grit, a pet accident soaked into one corner — is another job entirely.

What moves the number: the measured size, the fiber and how it’s built, dye stability, how much soil is buried inside, any pet contamination, and whether the fringe or sides need work.

So the inspection comes first and the quote second — a single figure, settled before we begin.

That pre-inspection costs you nothing, and whatever we tell you at pickup is exactly what you’ll be charged. No gimmick discounts, no over-the-phone guesses, nothing sprung on you at the door.

Get the Figure First

The questions we field weekly

What Aventura rug owners ask us

Will someone come get the rug from my Aventura building, or is that on me?

We come to you. Collection and return included runs throughout Aventura — Williams Island, Turnberry, Porto Vita, Mystic Pointe, The Point and the rest — plus Sunny Isles Beach, Hallandale Beach and North Miami Beach. We coordinate with your building’s valet or service elevator, wrap the rug at the door, and return it once the work is done.

Can't the carpet crew just clean the rug right there in the unit?

A hand-knotted rug is a loose textile, not fitted carpet. Cleaning it in place under a hot wand traps grit in the foundation, risks the dyes migrating, and leaves it drying slowly on your marble or wood — which invites browning in Aventura’s coastal humidity. It belongs flat in a wash pit, flushed until the rinse water runs clear.

How can you be sure my rug can take a full wash?

Testing comes before any water. At the pre-inspection every rug is read for pH and checked for colorfastness, since a number of older vegetable-dyed weaves will run if they meet water the wrong way. If yours reads as a bleed risk we change the method — and we show you the findings before a single drop lands on it.

What should I expect to pay for rug cleaning in Aventura?

The price is set after the inspection, not before it. Size, fiber, how it’s constructed, dye stability, the amount of soil buried in the pile, any pet contamination and any repairs all shift what a rug needs, so a number over the phone would be pure guesswork. We examine the rug when we collect it and hand you the exact figure before any cleaning begins.

Will pet urine smell actually lift out of a wool rug?

Most of the time, yes. As urine dries it leaves alkaline salts buried in the foundation, and blotting the top of the rug never reaches them — so we immerse the whole piece and flush those salts back out. Long-standing or repeated accidents can resist, and we give you an honest read at inspection on what result is realistic before you commit. How we flush the urine salts out.

Do you also take on fringe, holes and moth damage?

Yes, and every repair is worked by hand at our own shop, never sent out. The list runs from fringe repair and replacement through side and edge overcasting, hole repair and reweaving, moth damage, dry rot, resizing and full restoration. Should a repair run past what the rug is worth, we say so outright instead of selling it to you.

How many days before my rug comes back?

Plan on roughly a week for most rugs. After the wash comes controlled speed-drying in a temperature and humidity managed room, which is what keeps the colors from migrating, so it isn’t a stage we hurry. A rug that also needs hand repair takes a bit more time, and you’ll have a straight timeline from the inspection.
