Customized Antique Wash Levels

We offer three levels of antique washing to suit your desired look:

1. Heavy Antique Wash: Maximum bleaching for a bold, faded appearance.
2. Medium Antique Wash: A balanced fade that softens colors midway.
3. Light Antique Wash: Maintains original colors while subtly aging the rug with mild oxidation.

Why Antique Wash Rug Treatment Matters

The antique wash treatment is a way to infuse your rug with a sense of history and character. Over time, rugs naturally develop a soft, muted appearance that adds depth and warmth to any room. Our antique wash service replicates this effect, removing the harshness of new dyes and bringing out subtle variations in color and texture. The result is a rug that looks gracefully aged, adding a unique, vintage feel to your home.

An antique wash doesn’t just improve the aesthetic appeal; it also enhances the rug’s texture, making it softer underfoot. This service is ideal for both modern rugs that need a touch of vintage allure and older rugs that require revitalization without losing their authentic charm.

Professional Antique Wash vs. DIY Methods

DIY attempts to achieve an antique look can be risky, often leading to uneven fading, color bleeding, or even damage to the rug fibers. Our professional antique wash service uses advanced techniques and gentle solutions specifically designed to achieve the desired aged appearance without compromising the rug’s integrity.

Our process ensures that every rug is handled with care, from assessing its material to determining the appropriate level of wash. We tailor our approach to each piece, ensuring a consistent and beautifully aged result that cannot be replicated with DIY methods.

Our Specialized Antique Wash Process

1. Assessment and Preparation: We begin with a thorough inspection of your rug, noting its material, weave, and existing color tones. This assessment helps us determine the appropriate antique wash level to achieve the perfect balance of wear and preservation.
2. Gentle Washing Technique: Our antique wash employs a special technique that softens the rug fibers and subtly fades the dyes. This process mimics the natural aging of a rug over decades, resulting in a soft, vintage look.
3. Rinse and Controlled Drying: To protect the rug’s structure and ensure the colors set evenly, we rinse the rug thoroughly and dry it in a controlled environment. This step is crucial in preventing unwanted damage such as shrinkage or distortion.
4. Final Detailing: After drying, our team carefully inspects the rug to ensure the antique wash effect is consistent and meets our high standards. Any necessary touch-ups are made to guarantee the perfect finish.
