Area Rug Cleaning in Ridgewood, Queens

Area rugs are everywhere in Ridgewood, mostly because so many apartments have wood floors and long hallways. A runner down the hall and a rug under the dining table are the two pieces we pick up most.

We roll the rug, carry it down the stairs and take it to our facility. That way no equipment sits in your apartment and nothing has to dry on your floor.

Hallway runners in front-to-back apartments take a beating. The middle wears dark while the edges stay light. At the facility we wash the full rug so the color comes back as even as the fibers allow.

Before washing, we check what the rug is made of. Wool, cotton, jute, viscose and synthetic rugs each react differently to water and soap, and viscose in particular can change texture if it is treated the wrong way.

Pet accidents are a common reason for a call. Urine soaks through to the back of the rug and into the floor below. A full wash reaches the back, which a spot cleaner from the store cannot do.

After washing, rugs go through controlled drying instead of sitting damp. That step helps prevent shrinking, curling edges and the musty smell a rug can get when it dries too slowly.

Most rugs are ready to come back in about a week. When we return, we carry the rug up, put it in place and set new padding if you asked for it.

If you have several rugs, we can take them in one pickup. Owners clearing out a rental between tenants often send a few at once. Moth treatment is available for wool rugs that have been sitting in storage.

Rugs on wood floors slide, and a slipping runner on a stair landing is a real hazard. When we bring a rug back, we can fit new padding that holds it in place and protects the floor.

The carpet under your rug can be cleaned too; see carpet cleaning in Ridgewood. Hand-knotted pieces have their own page for oriental rug cleaning, and every service is listed on the Ridgewood services page. Our crews also collect rugs in Woodhaven. Phone 1-800-589-4364 or use the quote form, and include the rug size and the floor it is on so we can plan the pickup.
