Area rugs vary far more than wall-to-wall carpet — wool, silk, cotton, viscose/art-silk, and plant fibers like jute and sisal, often hand-knotted with natural dyes that can bleed. We never default to one method. The pre-inspection determines the approach: wool stays cool and neutral-pH, silk gets low-moisture or solvent care, synthetic area rugs handle hot-water extraction, and natural plant fibers can’t be wet-cleaned at all.

Hand-knotted, often with natural dyes that can migrate. We colorfast-test before cleaning and control moisture to prevent dye bleed. Antique and silk Persian rugs are candidates for off-site immersion cleaning.
Turkish, Moroccan, Indian, Afghani, Pakistani, and dhurrie rugs — each construction and dye family gets a fiber-matched soap and controlled-moisture method. No high-temperature steam, which damages natural fibers and migrates dyes.
Cool, neutral-pH cleaning. Never hot or high-alkaline — heat and alkalinity damage wool fiber and can cause shrinkage. Wool-safe detergent only.
Specialty low-moisture or solvent methods. Silk and viscose are easily damaged by water and heat.
Dry-compound method only. These fibers cannot be wet-cleaned without browning and shrinkage. We're honest if a rug isn't a candidate for wet cleaning.
Polyester, nylon, olefin, and other synthetics — water-safe hot-water extraction where appropriate, controlled temperature.
Putting NYC Residents' Satisfaction First — Our Upholstery Cleaning Process Designed for Your Comfort and Health
We identify fiber and construction (wool, silk, cotton, viscose, plant fiber, synthetic), check age, dye family, and any pre-existing damage.
Hidden-area dye test before any cleaning solution touches the rug. Natural-dye and antique rugs get the most conservative test.
Loose dry soil is removed from both sides before any moisture. Rugs hold a surprising amount of dry grit deep in the pile, and removing it dry is what separates professional cleaning from rental-machine work.
Wet, low-moisture, or dry-compound — chosen by the fiber identified in step 1.
Fiber-appropriate soap and agitation. Fringe is hand-cleaned separately — aggressive machine work frays and greys it.
Staged drying with air movers to protect fiber and backing. Over-wetting causes the foundation to rot and dyes to migrate; we control moisture precisely.
Pile groomed, fringe finished, condition compared against pre-clean photos and our 50-point quality checklist before we leave.
Most area rugs can be cleaned on-site. For delicate, antique, silk, or heavily soiled rugs that need full immersion and controlled drying, we offer pick-up and delivery for off-site care. We’ll recommend the right option at the inspection.
Since 2016 we’ve hand-handled area, oriental, Persian, and antique rugs across NYC — from co-op apartments and pre-war brownstones to galleries and hospitality. We see what NYC does to rugs: steam-radiator heat that dries out natural fibers in winter, AC-driven moisture cycles, pet traffic on hand-knotted pieces, and the daily grit of city streets carried in on shoes. Every technician is background-checked, bonded, and insured.
We handle high-rise condos, pre-war and brownstone apartments, doorman buildings and co-ops, luxury penthouses, Airbnb units, offices, salons, hotels, and restaurants. All work is performed on-site — no pickup or drop-off needed.
Every 12–18 months for most rugs. Every 6–12 months for high-traffic pieces or homes with pets and kids. Hand-knotted, antique, or silk pieces — every 18–24 months with regular vacuuming in between.
Yes — galleries, showrooms, offices, hotels, and residential buildings with rugs in common areas. COI and compliance documentation available on request.
On-site rug cleaning typically takes 1–2 hours per room. Drying depends on fiber — synthetic and cotton dry in 2–4 hours, wool in 4–8 hours, silk and antique pieces require longer controlled drying. For pick-up & delivery, turnaround is typically 5–7 business days.
100% satisfaction guarantee — report concerns within 24 hours, and we re-clean free within 48 hours. Full refund if still not satisfied.
We colorfast-test every rug before cleaning and control moisture specifically to prevent dye migration. Natural-dye and antique rugs get the most conservative method. If the colorfast test shows risk, we recommend off-site pick-up cleaning under fully controlled conditions instead of on-site.
Yes. Wool is cleaned cool and neutral-pH; silk and viscose get specialty low-moisture or solvent methods. The wrong method — high heat or full water saturation — is what damages these fibers permanently.
Yes, with a dry-compound method only. Natural plant-fiber rugs can’t be wet-cleaned without browning and shrinkage. If a rug is too soiled for dry-only cleaning, we’ll tell you honestly at the inspection.
Yes — for delicate, antique, silk, or heavily soiled rugs that need off-site immersion cleaning. We’ll recommend pick-up vs. on-site at the inspection.
