Area Rug Cleaning in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn

Most Clinton Hill homes have wood floors, so the area rug is where the room gets soft. It sits under the dining table in a parlor, at the foot of a bed in a shared apartment, or in front of a fireplace that has not been lit in years.

We clean many rugs right where they lie. When a rug needs a full wash, we roll it up, carry it down the stoop and bring it back clean. First we check the fibers, the backing and whether the colors are stable.

Clinton Hill rugs range from a flat-woven cotton piece bought for a first apartment to a thick wool rug that has been in a parlor for years. We price and clean each one for what it is.

Synthetic rugs from big stores are common in student apartments. They clean well at home, and most are dry by the evening. Wool rugs need more care: lower heat, the right cleaning solution, and time to dry so the backing does not stay wet.

In a brownstone, a large parlor rug can be heavy and hard to move. We lift the furniture off it, clean it in place when that is safe, and set everything back. If it needs to leave the house, two technicians roll it and take it down the stairs together.

Radiators are part of life in old Brooklyn buildings. A rug that sits close to one can dry out and get brittle at the edge. We look for that kind of wear and let you know before we clean.

Pet accidents soak into the backing and the floor below. We treat the spot from the top and, when the rug goes out, from the back as well, which is the only way to deal with a deep odor.

Flat-woven and cotton rugs can shrink or ripple if they get too wet. We keep the moisture low on those and lay them flat to dry.

Rug pads matter too. An old pad can crumble and stick to the floor. When we lift a rug, we check the pad and tell you if it is time for a new one.
