Services — FAQs

Do I need rug cleaning or carpet cleaning?

Carpet fitted wall to wall is cleaned in your home. A loose area rug is usually collected and washed at a cleaning plant, where it can be dusted, fully washed, rinsed and dried under controlled conditions.

Which services are done in my home?

Carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, mattress cleaning and commercial carpet cleaning are done in your home or office. Area rugs, Oriental, Persian, silk, wool and antique rugs, repairs and water-damage restoration are usually handled at a plant.

How much do these services cost in New York?

Carpet cleaning is typically $1–$4 per square foot or $50–$150 per room. Area rugs are priced per square foot, from $3–$6 for synthetic up to $7–$12 for silk in Manhattan. Add-ons such as moth treatment ($20–$50 per rug) are priced separately.

How long does each service take?

In-home carpet cleaning is usually finished in one visit, and the carpet is dry to the touch in about 6–12 hours. Rugs cleaned at a plant typically take 5–14 days door to door, including collection, dusting, washing, controlled drying and delivery.

Is pickup and delivery included?

Not always. Many companies set a pickup minimum, typically $150–$250, and some charge for delivery or travel. Ask whether pickup and delivery are included in the written quote.

What should I ask before booking any service?

Ask whether the price is the all-in price and what is not included, which method will be used, whether the rug is dusted before washing, how long it will take, and whether the company is insured while your rug is in its care.
