Ask Rug Wash Inc. Before You Book
The first questions here come from what this company publishes — and from what it does not.
- Where is the plant, and how many days will my rug be there?Rug Wash washes rugs at a facility, so the rug leaves your home. Five to fourteen days door to door is normal in New York.
- Is there a pickup minimum, and what does delivery cost below it?Pickup minimums of $150–$250 are common across the boroughs Rug Wash covers, and they catch small rugs.
- Will repairs be quoted separately, after inspection?Rug Wash lists rug repair. Reweaving, fringe and edge work are quoted on sight, so they should not be folded into a cleaning price.
- Will you test the dyes before washing, and what happens if they run?Rug Wash lists silk or antique rugs, and those are the two the industry most often gets wrong.
- How many rugs like mine do you clean in a year?36 published reviews for Rug Wash is a thin record — not a bad sign, but not much to read either.
- Is that a firm price from Rug Wash, or an estimate?A number that can move after collection is not a quote. Get the scope and the price in writing before the rug goes.
- Can you issue a certificate of insurance for my building?Most New York buildings will not let a cleaner through the door without one, and arranging it late costs days.
