Rug washing in Polanco

Rugs that live in apartments

In Polanco, almost every piece we collect comes from an apartment. Towers facing Bosque de Chapultepec on Rubén Darío, low buildings around Parque Lincoln and new developments toward Ejército Nacional. Every building has its own rules, and we follow them.

Before we arrive, we confirm with you the reception hours, whether the building asks for our staff to be registered in advance and whether we must use the service elevator. Our team introduces itself to the administration or the front desk, rolls the piece inside your apartment and protects it before taking it down. We never drag a rug through hallways or lobbies.

What the city leaves in a rug

Traffic on Masaryk and Horacio leaves a fine dust that comes in through large windows and settles at the base of the knot. The rug may look clean, yet the fiber loses its sheen and the dust works like sandpaper with every step. That is why, in our workshop, each piece goes through deep dusting before it touches water.

We then wash it in an industrial automatic washer, or by hand if it is silk or a delicate piece, spin it in an industrial centrifuge and dry it under controlled conditions. A master with more than 40 years of craft checks fringes, edges and any open areas before approving delivery.

Delivered ready for the floor

We return your rug wrapped and sealed, with its tracking code and the photographs taken on arrival and on delivery. If you wish, we place it for you and take the packaging away.

Process

Our seven step process

  1. Step 1. Collection

    We collect your rug on the agreed date, in Polanco, Las Lomas, Interlomas and the west of the city, at no extra cost. We roll it with care, never folded, and give you its tracking code.

  2. Step 2. Diagnosis and photography

    On arrival at the workshop, the master inspects fiber, dyes, foundation, fringes and edges. We photograph front and back, record every detail and share the diagnosis with you before any work begins.

  3. Step 3. Deep dusting

    We remove the dust and grit that settle deep in the foundation and wear the fiber down with every footstep. It is the step most often skipped, and the one that most protects the life of a rug.

  4. Step 4. Washing

    Wool pieces go through our industrial automatic washer, with abundant water and neutral detergents. Silk and delicate pieces are washed by hand, by the master, with the time each one asks for.

  5. Step 5. Centrifuge and controlled drying

    The industrial centrifuge removes water evenly, without twisting or stretching the weave. The rug then dries laid flat in a controlled environment, to prevent odors, shrinkage and dye bleeding.

  6. Step 6. Restoration and the master's review

    If the diagnosis called for it and you approved it, the master repairs fringes, edges and weave with wool and technique true to the piece. Before leaving, every rug receives a final review, inch by inch.

  7. Step 7. Wrapped and sealed delivery

    We photograph the finished piece, roll it, wrap it and seal it. We deliver it to your home on the agreed date, ready to return to its place, with the photographic record of arrival and delivery.
