Carpet Cleaning in Rego Park, Queens

Many of the big post-war buildings along Queens Boulevard were built for families, with long hallways and two or three bedrooms. Over the years a lot of owners put wall-to-wall carpet in the bedrooms and down the hall, partly for comfort and partly because many co-ops ask for floor covering to keep noise from reaching the neighbors below.

That carpet takes years of footsteps in the same narrow lanes. Our hot water extraction rinses it from the base up and pulls the soil away. Before the wand touches the floor, the technician checks the fiber and the worst spots with you.

Hallway carpet in an apartment is a highway. Everyone walks the same strip between bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, and that strip turns gray long before the edges do. We pre-spray the lane so it comes up close to the color of the rest of the carpet.

Buildings usually ask contractors to arrive through the service entrance and use a reserved elevator. Some have set hours for work. Pass along whatever your super or management office told you, and we plan the visit to fit inside those rules.

Large family gatherings leave their mark on carpet near the dining area: crumbs pressed in, a spilled glass of juice, wax from candles. Wax should harden first, then be lifted off before cleaning. Liquids should be blotted with a white towel, never rubbed.

Before Passover, many households want every room fresh. Carpet cleaning in the week or two before the holiday gives the floors time to dry fully while you take care of the kitchen.

In the attached brick houses south of Queens Boulevard, carpet is usually on the stairs and in the upstairs bedrooms. Stair treads are cleaned one at a time with a hand tool, since a large machine cannot reach the edges properly.

Older carpet in a long-owned apartment may have faded near the windows. Cleaning restores brightness lost to dirt, but it cannot replace color the sun has taken. We tell you which is which before you decide.

Clear small items off the floor before we come: shoes, bags, toys and the pet's water bowl. That gives the crew room to move and keeps the visit short.

Allow four to six hours of drying with windows open or air conditioning running. Walk on the carpet only in clean socks until then.

Rugs on the carpet can be cleaned too through area rug cleaning, and the Rego Park page lists every service.
