How Pickup and Delivery Works

What a proper job involves, in order.

At a cleaning plant

  1. Step 1

    Booking

    The company schedules your address into a route, usually with a time window rather than a fixed time.

  2. Step 2

    Building requirements

    Many buildings need a certificate of insurance and a booked service elevator before anyone can collect.

  3. Step 3

    Collection

    The rug is inspected briefly, rolled and wrapped, and tagged so it can be tracked at the plant.

  4. Step 4

    Cleaning

    Work happens at the plant: dusting, washing, rinsing, controlled drying and finishing.

  5. Step 5

    Delivery

    The rug is returned on a delivery route, and pads or furniture moving can often be arranged.

Rug Pickup & Delivery — FAQs

Is pickup really free?

Often it is included above a minimum order, typically $150–$250. Below that, expect a fee. Ask for the all-in price including collection and delivery.

How long will my rug be away?

Typically 5–14 days door to door, including both routes, cleaning and controlled drying.

What should I do before pickup?

Clear the floor, move small furniture, photograph both sides of the rug in good light, and point out stains and their history to the driver.
