Area Rug Cleaning in Chelsea, Manhattan

Area rugs are everywhere in Chelsea apartments. They warm up bare hardwood in prewar rentals, define the living space in an open loft and soften the floor in a new condo.

We clean area rugs at our facility, not on your floor. A crew rolls the rug and carries it out, and our team washes it, rinses it fully and dries it before it comes home.

Big loft rugs are heavy, so we send two people when the size calls for it. We also bring protection for doorways and elevator walls when we carry a rug out.

Look at the path between the sofa and the kitchen. If that strip looks darker or flatter than the rest of the rug, soil has packed into the fibers there.

A rug that smells musty after a humid summer, or one that sits by a dog bed, usually needs more than vacuuming. Grit that you can feel on your feet is another sign.

In a walk-up we roll the rug tight and carry it down the stairs by hand. In a doorman building we check in at the desk and use the elevator the building tells us to use.

For a loft with a freight elevator, let us know if it needs a key or an operator. We time the pickup around that.

Most rugs are cleaned, dried and brought back in about a week. Wool rugs need full drying time so no moisture stays in the base.

When the rug comes back, we lay it down, put the pad back underneath and move it into place for you.

Have a hand-knotted rug instead? See our Oriental rug cleaning in Chelsea, or the full Chelsea services page. Our crews pick up rugs in Gramercy too. Call 1-800-589-4364 to schedule a free pickup.
