Area Rug Cleaning in Coney Island, Brooklyn

In a lot of Coney Island apartments, the floors are tile, vinyl or wood, and an area rug is the only soft thing underfoot. It goes in front of the couch, by the bed or at the door, and it catches the sand that would otherwise be all over the floor.

That makes the rug do the work of a doormat. Over a summer, a rug near the door can hold a surprising amount of sand. We shake and vacuum it out first, then clean the fibers.

Most rugs get cleaned right on your floor. The ones that need a full bath ride down in the elevator with us and come back up dry and fresh.

Synthetic rugs are common in busy family apartments. They handle water well and usually dry within a few hours, so in-home cleaning is a good fit.

Wool rugs hold sand deep inside. Beating and vacuuming the back of the rug loosens it so it can be removed before we wash. Skipping this step turns sand into mud.

Damp sea air can give a rug a musty smell, especially in rooms that do not get much sun. A proper cleaning and good drying usually remove it.

Bath mats and small kitchen rugs can be added to the same visit at no extra trouble. Tell us how many you have when you book.

Older residents often ask us to move the coffee table and lift the rug for them. We are happy to do that and to put everything back.

Own a handmade Persian or a family heirloom? Oriental rug cleaning uses a gentler method. The couch next to it can be done at the same time through our Coney Island sofa service.

After cleaning, keep the rug off the damp floor until it is fully dry. A rug that goes back down wet in humid weather can start to smell.

Rugs on tile or vinyl floors slide around and wear at the corners. A good rug pad keeps them in place and makes cleaning easier.

A clean rug by the door keeps the beach outside where it belongs. If home is up the Q in the Victorian blocks, try Ditmas Park rug cleaning instead. The quickest way to book is 1-800-589-4364. Prefer to write? The form above gets you a free rug price anywhere in 11224.
