Area Rug Cleaning in Bayside, Queens

Hardwood floors and area rugs go together in Bayside. You will often find a big rug under the dining table, one in the living room, a runner by the stairs and a rug by the back door that takes the yard dirt.

That back-door rug, and the one in the mudroom if you have one, works the hardest. Grass, mulch, sand from the kids' sandbox and wet leaves in fall all end up in it. The dirt sinks deep, where a vacuum cannot reach.

Families with dogs know the other problem: a favorite spot where the dog lies, or worse, an accident that was cleaned on top but still smells on humid days.

On pickup day the crew rolls each rug, wraps it, and loads it into the van in your driveway. If you have five rugs, we take all five. There is no charge for the trip either way.

At the plant, we check what each rug is made of and whether its colors are stable. This matters with the rugs many families bought in recent years. Viscose, often sold as art silk or bamboo silk, looks shiny and soft but can yellow or go stiff if it is washed like wool.

The rug is then soaked and rinsed through the whole pile and backing, so the deep grit and odor come out, not just the surface dirt. Urine spots get extra treatment during the wash.

Drying is done carefully indoors, with air moving, so the rug stays flat and the edges stay square. A rug that dries slowly in a cool basement can pick up a mildew smell; ours does not have that chance.

Expect your rugs back in roughly a week. We carry them in and put them back where they belong, or in a new spot if you are rearranging.

Fall is a busy time for rugs in Bayside. Wet leaves from the big street trees stick to shoes and paws and get ground into the rug by the door. If you can, book after the leaves come down, so the rug stays clean through winter.

A rug that is hand-knotted, antique or Persian gets a separate hand-wash. Read about that on our Bayside oriental rug page.
