Area Rug Cleaning
An area rug is not a small carpet — wool, viscose, silk blends and hand-knotted pieces each react differently to heat, moisture and chemistry. We identify the fiber and dye stability first, then clean with the method that rug actually needs: gentle hot-water extraction for most wool and synthetics, lower-moisture care for delicate pieces. Serving homes across North Jersey and the NYC metro, with prices listed by rug size before you book.

How It Works
Here's how we get the job done from start to finish.

- 4Extract & rinseControlled hot-water extraction rinses soil and solution fully out of the rug.
