Area Rug Cleaning in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan

Renters in Hell's Kitchen often cannot change the floors, so they use rugs instead. A big rug covers worn boards in a tenement living room, a runner fills a long railroad hallway, and a soft rug makes a tower bedroom feel less like a hotel.

Those rugs live hard lives. They take dog paws from the river path, wine from a dinner party and the dust that comes in from Ninth Avenue traffic.

We collect the rug, wash it at our plant and bring it back, with pickup and delivery at no charge.

Theater people and night-shift workers can book a late-morning pickup, and we will text before the crew arrives so you are not woken too early.

For a walk-up, the crew rolls the rug tightly and carries it down the stairs. Five flights with a large wool rug is heavy work, and we send enough people to do it safely.

For a tower, we use the service elevator during the building's allowed hours and keep the rug wrapped in the lobby.

At the plant, the rug is tested, dusted, soaked and rinsed. Pet urine is treated during the soak so the smell is removed from the backing, which is where it lingers.

Low-cost rugs from big online stores are common in rentals. They are often viscose or a printed synthetic. We tell you honestly when a rug may not respond well to washing, so you can decide if it is worth it.

Most rugs come back in about a week, and the crew lays them down again in the right place.

Many rugs here sit under a sofa or bed, which makes them hard to move. We move the furniture off the rug at pickup and back on at delivery.

Bring a rug back from a trip, or buy one at a street market? Let us know where it came from. Some handmade rugs from markets use dyes that run, and we test them carefully before any water touches them.
