Area Rug Cleaning in Riverside, NY

Every Riverside home has that one rug that takes the worst of it - usually right inside the back door. Sand from the yard, wet leaves and paw prints end up there first.

Rugs in this hamlet also deal with damp. A rug rolled up in a closet or basement near the river can come out smelling stale, even if it looked clean when it went in.

We pick the rug up from your house at no charge. That saves you from rolling a heavy, sandy rug into your car.

Before washing, we check what the rug is made of and dab each color with a test solution. Wool, cotton, jute and synthetic rugs all behave differently in water.

Next we get the dry grit out. Shaking and beating the sand loose from the base of the pile matters more than anything else for a rug that lives by a door.

Pet accidents are treated where they actually sit - in the backing and the base of the fibers. A spray on top only hides the smell for a week.

Stale, closet smells usually leave with a full wash and a proper dry. We dry rugs evenly so no damp spot is left inside to start the smell again.

When the rug comes home, we put it down on its pad and line it up. If the pad is worn out, we say so, because a bad pad lets the rug slide and wear faster.

Kids playing on the floor? Our products are eco-safe and non-toxic.

Small homes often use rugs to warm up a cold floor in winter - over tile in a kitchen, on a basement slab or in a kid's room. Those rugs pick up moisture from the floor below. We look at the back for mildew spots and treat them as part of the wash.

If you have several rugs, sending them together saves time, and we bring them all back on one trip.

For a handmade or antique piece, see our oriental rug service instead. Families just north of the river can book on the Riverhead rug page.
