Green Choice Carpet Cleaning of NYC can take care of all your rug cleaning needs. If you have a contemporary rug, chances are you don't trust it with just anyone. We have our own rug cleaning factory located in NYC, and we also have the best rug cleaning machines and a professional, friendly staff of trained rug cleaners, to best serve you. If you would like, they can give you a free quote over the phone, and you can also schedule a free onsite rug inspection and quote with one of our high-quality, friendly and professional rug cleaners. How Do We Clean Your Contemporary Rug The first thing we'll do with your beautiful and valued contemporary rug is to inspect it. We'll look at foundation, fringes, knots, pile, and other features of your rug before beginning the cleaning process. We'll also test the color of your rug. This is done to produce the best, high-quality cleaning without damaging the color or causing the rug to fade. Next, we'll remove all the dust from your rug. Dust and dirt often gets embedded deep within a rug, and you'll want to know that your rug is in good hands and being cleaned properly. The rug duster that we use cleans all the deep-set particles from your rug and is one of the best in NYC. Next, we'll wash your rug. We offer a number of processes to wash your rug, one of which is with submersion cleaning; we can use a mild solution to immerse your rug, and then all the dust and dirt from the rug will go away. This is one of the best processes available to clean a rug with in NYC. If submersion doesn't work properly, it may be necessary to use rotary shampoo. A suitable shampooing product can get the best results for many finely-wrought contemporary rugs, and a rotary shampoo is the best possible way for many types of rugs. Another option is dry foam shampoo. This is best done on rugs that are dyed or that are resistant to other types of washing. This also ensures that the colors on the rug will not fade. We at Green Choice Carpet of NYC know that you trust your contemporary rug to us, so the best possible option for many rugs is this one. Rinsing and Free Pick Up and Delivery After your rug has been treated, we will rinse your rug, which is a huge part of the process of making your rug look beautiful again. It will thoroughly be rinsed with water so that no bit of dirt or dust is left behind in the wash. If particles of dust are left in the rug at all, they may attract many other dust particles, thus contributing to a dirty rug and a need to clean it again, too soon. So you can trust us to make sure that your rug is spotless in the end. For the convenience of our clients we offer free pick up and delivery in the NYC and surrounding areas. Call us today at 718-475-1096 and get 20 % off on all of our cleaning processes
