Our Rug Cleaning Services in NYC
Every rug tells a story — and every fiber demands a different approach. From hand-knotted Persian heirlooms to plush modern shags, our NYC-based specialists tailor the cleaning method to your rug’s exact construction, age, and condition. Explore our full range of services below.
Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning
Hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs require specialist care that machine cleaners simply can’t provide. Our hand-washing process preserves natural dyes, protects delicate wool fibers, and restores the rich colors your heirloom rug was crafted to display.
Antique Rug Cleaning & Restoration
Antique rugs over 50 years old need museum-grade handling. Our master restorers gently remove decades of embedded soil, stabilize fragile foundations, and address dye bleeding — all while preserving the patina and value of your investment piece.
Silk Rug Cleaning
Silk is the most delicate fiber in any rug — and the most easily ruined. Our certified silk specialists use pH-balanced, low-moisture techniques designed specifically to maintain silk’s natural luster, prevent shrinkage, and protect intricate hand-knotted detail.
Wool Rug Cleaning
Wool is naturally resilient but reacts poorly to harsh chemicals and over-wetting. Our wool-safe cleaning process lifts deep-set dirt, neutralizes odors, and restores softness — extending the life of your rug while keeping fibers vibrant and healthy.
Shag & Modern Rug Cleaning
Long-pile shags and modern synthetics trap dust, allergens, and pet hair deep within their fibers. Our specialized deep-extraction process reaches every strand, restoring softness, fluffing matted areas, and leaving your rug feeling brand new underfoot.
Pet Stain & Odor Removal
Pet accidents penetrate far below the surface, contaminating padding and foundation. Our enzyme-based treatment fully neutralizes urine crystals, eliminates lingering odors at the source, and removes stubborn stains — not just masking them like surface cleaners do.
Water Damage & Mold Remediation
Flooding, leaks, or burst pipes can destroy a rug within 48 hours. Our emergency response team extracts water, prevents mold growth, sanitizes affected fibers, and fully restores your rug — saving pieces most cleaners would write off as unsalvageable.
Rug Repair & Re-Fringing
Frayed fringes, unraveling edges, and worn foundations don’t mean the end of your rug. Our skilled artisans hand-repair binding, reweave damaged sections, and replace fringes using traditional techniques — extending your rug’s life by decades, not just years.

How Our Rug Cleaning Services Work?
We keep our rug cleaning process simple and effective, ensuring your rug gets the best care possible.
1. Inspection & Pre-Treatment
We begin by inspecting your rug to identify its fiber type and stains. We then apply specialized treatments to remove dirt and target tough stains.
2. Deep Cleaning
Depending on your rug’s condition, we use either immersion cleaning or hot water extraction to thoroughly remove dirt and contaminants, ensuring a deep clean without damaging the fibers.
3. Drying & Final Inspection
After cleaning, your rug is placed in a climate-controlled drying room to prevent mold and mildew. Once dry, we give it a final grooming and inspection to ensure it looks as good as new.
