01UNDERSTANDING YOUR PIECE

Care begins with
understanding.

Area rugs anchor a room's design and bear the brunt of daily foot traffic. Whether your rug is a contemporary designer piece, a durable flatweave, or a plush shag, our cleaning process extracts deep-seated soil, allergens, and bacteria that regular vacuuming cannot reach. We tailor every treatment to the rug's fiber type and construction, ensuring a thorough clean that extends the life and beauty of your investment.

We discuss the condition, recommended treatment and expected outcome with you. The appropriate method is selected after inspection; not every treatment is suitable for every rug.

Area Rug Cleaning in the East Village and Lower East Side

Machine made rugs of polypropylene shrug off spills but cling to oily soil, the gray film that builds up where feet cross most, and it takes hot water to lift it. Wool area rugs need cooler water and jute very little, so we identify the fiber and the backing before choosing. In the East Village and Lower East Side, half of the homes are in prewar buildings, where halls and doorways can be narrow; put the rug's size on the pickup tag, and mention any bed or table standing on it that has to be moved first. Dish soap used on a synthetic rug before pickup leaves a sticky residue that draws soil; plain water and a towel are enough.
