Oriental Rug Cleaning in Bayside, Queens

In many Bayside living rooms, the fine rug is the piece that holds the room together. It may have been bought when the family moved in decades ago, or handed down from parents, or brought from overseas.

These rugs are knotted by hand, usually from wool and sometimes silk, and many have natural dyes. They can last a lifetime and more, but only if they are cleaned the right way. A carpet machine on the floor can push dirt deeper and make colors run.

We take them to our plant and wash them by hand. The trip there and back is free.

At pickup we roll the rug face-in and wrap it, then go over its condition with you: worn spots, old repairs, loose fringe, and any fading.

At the plant, the first step is getting dry soil out. A rug that has been on the floor for years holds a surprising amount of fine grit deep in the knots, and it has to come out before any water goes on.

Then every color is tested. If one is unstable, we change the wash to protect it. The rug is hand-washed, rinsed, and dried flat so it keeps its shape.

Bayside houses have attics and basements, and that is where rugs often get stored rolled up. Stored wool is where moths like to live. If we see larvae or bare patches, we can treat the rug.

Fringe is cleaned and combed as part of the job. We also give you simple advice: turn the rug every year or so, keep it out of strong sun, and use a good pad under it.

Formal dining rooms in Bayside often have the finest rug in the house, and it takes the spills from every holiday dinner. Wine, gravy and candle wax are the usual suspects. We treat those spots by hand before the full wash.

When you redecorate or sell a house in Bayside, a fine rug is often rolled up and moved. That is a good time for a cleaning, so it goes into storage or into the new home clean and free of moths.

Machine-made rugs go through our standard process instead; see area rug cleaning in Bayside.
