Professional Area Rug Cleaning in New York City
NYC apartments are hard on rugs. Street soot tracked in from the sidewalk, radiator dust, pet dander, and daily foot traffic settle deep into the pile — far below what a household vacuum can reach. Our technicians restore runners, area rugs, and room-size carpets for clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.
Every rug is different. Hand-knotted wool Persians and Orientals, silk blends, flatweave kilims, and modern synthetics each demand a different chemistry. We identify the fiber first, then match pH-balanced solutions and extraction pressure to the material — deep-cleaning without stripping lanolin, bleeding dyes, or distorting the weave.

Our Process
Inspection & Fiber ID
We assess material, dye stability, wear, and pre-existing stains, then confirm the treatment plan and price before any work begins.
Dry Soil Removal
Dry particulate — grit, dander, dust — is extracted first. Removing it dry prevents it from turning to mud inside the pile during the wash.
pH-Balanced Deep Clean
Fiber-matched solutions loosen embedded soil, followed by controlled hot-water extraction that rinses the pile clean without oversaturating the backing.
Spot, Odor & Finish
Remaining spots get targeted enzyme treatment, odors are neutralized at the source, and the pile is groomed so it dries evenly and uniformly.
Area Rug Cleaning FAQs
How much does area rug cleaning cost in NYC?
Pricing is flat by size: runners are $39, 4×6 rugs $59, 5×8 $79, 6×9 $89, 8×10 $109, 9×12 $119, 10×10 $129, and 12×14 $149. A $99 minimum applies per visit, so smaller rugs are usually combined with additional rugs or other cleaning services.
Can you clean Persian, Oriental, and wool rugs?
Yes. We identify the fiber and test dye stability before choosing a method, then use pH-balanced solutions and gentle extraction designed for natural fibers. Antique and silk pieces are assessed individually before we begin.
Do you offer rug pickup and delivery?
Yes — we offer pickup and delivery across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Many standard rugs can also be cleaned in your home in a single visit.
Can you remove pet urine and odor from a rug?
In most cases, yes. We use enzyme treatments that break down urine at the source rather than masking it. Very old or repeatedly soiled spots may not lift completely — your technician will set expectations during inspection.
How long does it take a rug to dry?
Rugs cleaned in your home are typically dry in 4–6 hours. For rugs we pick up, we confirm the turnaround when we collect the piece — heavy wool and hand-knotted rugs are dried flat and slowly to protect the weave.
How often should area rugs be professionally cleaned?
Every 12–18 months for most households, and every 6–12 months in homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic. Regular cleaning extends the life of the pile and keeps allergen levels down.
Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?
Please clear small items and breakables. Our technicians will handle light repositioning of furniture sitting on the rug as part of the service.
