DFW has more high-value silk rug collections than almost any other metro in the country. Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, and the luxury developments of Plano and Frisco contain serious silk holdings — full-silk Hereke pieces, fine Iranian Qom, silk Tabriz, and Kashmir silk. Many pieces value in the five and six figures, and the cost of getting cleaning wrong is enormous. Conservative methods — cool water, low-pH chemistry, controlled drying — are non-negotiable for any DFW silk piece.
Silk is the most demanding fiber in the rug world. Hand-spun, naturally lustrous, capable of holding two to three times the knot density of wool — and structurally weaker when wet. Standard rug-cleaning methods on a silk Hereke or Qom permanently dull the sheen, can cause irreversible color bleeding, and weaken silk fibers. Our silk method is fundamentally different: cool water (never hot), low-pH chemistry (never alkaline), shortened wash cycles, gentle hand agitation, and controlled-humidity drying.
Free pick-up across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Most rugs are returned within 7 days from pick-up. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Specialist methods for every silk tradition.
Each silk tradition has specific requirements. We adapt the method for each.
Hereke (Turkish)
The most prestigious Turkish silk tradition. Often 600–1,200 knots per square inch on silk foundation. The most conservative cleaning approach we offer.
Qom (Iranian)
Full-silk Iranian masterworks, often museum-quality. Fine knot density and sensitive dyes require the most demanding cleaning approach.
Tabriz silk
Some of the finest pieces from Tabriz are full-silk or silk-on-silk construction. Standard Tabriz methods are too aggressive for silk.
Kashmir silk
Fine silk on cotton foundation, often modern (post-1950) Indian production. Requires silk-specific cleaning approach.
Silk-highlighted oriental
Many fine Persians, Turks, and Indians use silk highlights in an otherwise wool rug. Silk areas treated with silk-specific care.
Art silk (viscose/bamboo)
Sold as silk but actually cellulose fiber. Cannot be wet-cleaned without damage. We identify correctly and recommend dry methods only.

Common questions about silk rug cleaning in Dallas.
Where in DFW do you offer silk rug pick-up?
Free pick-up throughout the entire DFW metroplex — Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Highland Park, University Park, Richardson, Carrollton, Lewisville, Fort Worth, Arlington, Southlake, and surrounding cities. Specialist handling for high-value silk.
Why does silk rug cleaning need specialized methods?
Silk fibers are protein-based and weakened by hot water, alkaline chemistry, and aggressive agitation — all routine in standard rug cleaning. Improper cleaning permanently dulls silk's characteristic luster.
Do you handle very high-value DFW silk collections?
Yes — routinely. We clean silk pieces valued in the five and six figures for DFW collectors. For any high-value silk, we recommend pairing cleaning with current appraisal documentation, since silks are frequently under-insured.
How do I know if my rug is silk or art silk?
True silk has a soft, cool feel and distinctive luster that shifts with light angle. Art silk (viscose, bamboo silk) is cellulose fiber that mimics silk's appearance but behaves very differently when wet. We identify non-destructively during inspection.
Will cleaning damage the silk sheen?
Properly performed silk cleaning will not damage the sheen — in fact, it usually restores brilliance that has dulled from accumulated soil. Sheen damage happens only with hot water, high-pH chemistry, or aggressive agitation — none of which we use on silk.
Available across five metros.
