Oriental Rug Cleaning in Flushing, Queens

Hand-knotted rugs are common in Flushing homes, from Persian and Turkish pieces to Chinese rugs with deep, carved pile. Many are family pieces brought from overseas or passed down, and they deserve more than a quick surface clean.

We pick up oriental rugs from your home for free, take them to our facility and hand-wash them. Every rug is checked first for how it was made, what fibers it uses and whether its dyes are stable.

Wool and silk need different handling. Silk is weaker when wet and shows water marks easily, while wool can take more washing but still needs gentle care. We identify the fiber before choosing a method.

Dye testing comes next. Some older rugs, and some newer ones made with cheaper dyes, can bleed when wet. A small test tells us how to wash the rug without colors running into each other.

Chinese rugs often have carved or sculpted pile, where the design is cut into the surface. Hand-washing keeps those edges crisp instead of matting them down.

Fringe is part of the rug's foundation, so we wash and groom it as part of every cleaning. Loose or damaged fringe is noted and discussed with you.

Drying is slow and controlled to protect the shape of the rug, and you can plan on having it home in roughly a week.

If you are not sure what kind of rug you own, that is fine. Our crew will look at it during pickup and explain what we found in plain words.

Rugs near a sunny window in a high-rise apartment can fade unevenly. Cleaning will not bring back lost color, but it removes the dull film of dust so the true colors show, and we can suggest turning the rug so it wears more evenly.
