Biscayne Rug Workshop

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.

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.

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.
