East Quogue rugs taken from your door, washed at our own plant and returned at no charge, including the ones that waited out the winter in a shut house.
Walk into almost any East Quogue home and the floors tell the story: wide wood planks, a big rug under the coffee table, a runner climbing the stairs, something soft by the fireplace and a tough mat at the door to the yard. Together they soak up dog hair, crumbs and the fine forest dust that sneaks in with every swing of the screen door.
Rather than scrub them on your floor, we roll them up, drive them to our plant and bring them home clean and dry. You pay nothing for the trip either way.
Rugs are not all built alike. A wool rug from a department store, a jute rug from a beach shop and a shiny viscose piece each react to water in their own way, so a staff member checks the label, the weave and the back of every one before deciding what it needs. A drop of solution on a dark border shows us whether that color wants to wander.
Dust is removed while the rug is still dry. You would be surprised how much powdery soil falls out of a rug that looked fine in the living room. Getting it out first keeps the wash water clear and saves the yarn from being ground down.
The washing itself happens on a flat floor built for the purpose, with eco-safe soap and plenty of clean rinse water, and the rug dries hanging in moving air. A shady room in the woods simply cannot dry a heavy rug that well.
Weekend houses bring a familiar problem. A rug left down in a shut house from Thanksgiving to Memorial Day can come back smelling stale, and quiet, dark rooms invite moths. Our team looks for both, and if moths have been feeding we can treat the rug.
With so many dogs in the hamlet, urine spots are part of the work. They are treated during the wash. We are straight with you if the yarn has already changed color, because that part does not always reverse.
Viscose, sometimes sold as art silk, looks beautiful but is weak when wet. We go slowly with it and will tell you if one is too risky to wash.
When we come back, we lay each rug in its place. For a cool, shady room, a pad that lets air move underneath helps keep the rug fresh through humid weeks.
Owners who close the house for the winter often ask us to take the rugs in the fall and return them in spring. That way they are not sitting in an empty house, and they come back clean for the first weekend out east.
