Silk rug cleaning starts at $89 in Manhattan. We hand-wash every silk rug with 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions that are dye-safe and fiber-safe, so no bleeding, no shedding, no chemical smell left behind. Antique silks, art silks, and fine silk-and-wool blends are all picked up free across all Manhattan neighborhoods, washed at our facility, and returned soft, bright, and dry-cleaned to the touch. Call Green Carpet Cleaning NYC at +1 (347) 594-1032 for same-day pickup.
Silk is not wool. You can't toss it in a machine, you can't soak it, and you definitely can't let a regular carpet cleaner spray hot water on it. Silk fibers are protein, the dyes are often unstable, and one wrong move turns a $5,000 rug into a stained, brittle mess. We've been hand-washing silk rugs for Manhattan homes for years, and every silk piece gets treated like the heirloom it is. No shortcuts, no truck-mount machines, no chemical sprays.
Before any water touches your rug, we dab each color with a swab. If a dye looks unstable, we lock it in place first. That's how you stop bleeding before it ruins the rug.
Silk gets washed by hand on a flat wash floor. We use soft brushes, cool water, and a gentle organic shampoo. Machines twist silk fibers and break them. Hands don't.
Hot water shrinks silk and dulls the shine. We rinse cool, then flat-dry the rug in a climate-controlled room for two to four days. Slow drying keeps the pile soft.
Fringes on silk rugs yellow fast and tangle worse. We clean fringes by hand with a separate solution, then comb them straight. Most cleaners skip this. We don't.
Most people in Manhattan call us after a spill, a pet accident, or because their silk rug looks dull and they don't trust just anyone with it. Here's what we actually fix when you bring it to us.
We work cold on protein and tannin stains. Heat sets them. Cold lifts them out without spreading the color into nearby fibers.
Urine eats silk from the back. We flush the foundation, neutralize the smell, and rebalance the pH so it doesn't come back next humid week.
Years of foot traffic flattens silk and dulls the sheen. A proper hand-wash lifts the pile back up and brings the original shine back without any chemical gloss.
Moths chew silk and wool blends fast. We rinse out eggs and larvae during the wash and apply a natural deterrent so they don't come back.
Apartments near the Hudson get damp. Silk holds that smell. Our enzyme rinse pulls the moisture and the odor right out of the foundation.
If another cleaner already made the colors bleed, we can sometimes pull the run back out. Bring it in fast, before it dries permanently.
We're not the cheapest rug cleaning service in Manhattan, and we're not trying to be. We're the one you call when the rug actually matters. Here's what comes with every job:
Real before-and-after work, not stock photos. Wine on a Tabriz silk, cat urine on a Hereke, faded shine on a Qum, every job photographed and shown with permission. The shots below are from real Manhattan apartments, real customers, real rugs we picked up, washed by hand, and walked back through the door.
We pick up silk rugs from every part of Manhattan, from Inwood at the top to the Financial District at the bottom. No charge for pickup, no minimum size, no surprise fees. If you live, work, or own property on the island, we'll come get the rug.
Most of our silk work comes from homeowners and renters in apartments. We handle building doormen, freight elevators, and walk-ups daily. Need Persian rug cleaning in Manhattan, Oriental rug cleaning, or wool rug cleaning? Same hand-wash care.
Silk rugs in law firms, galleries, and showrooms get foot traffic that wool can't handle. We work after hours, pickup-and-return, so your space never goes a day without the rug. We also offer commercial carpet cleaning in Manhattan for the wall-to-wall around it.
Got a rug from your grandmother, a trip to Istanbul, or a Sotheby's auction? Antique rug cleaning in Manhattan is our specialty. Fragile foundations, dry-rotted backings, and unstable dyes all need a hand only experience builds. We also do area rug cleaning for everyday pieces.
Here's the honest part. Most Manhattan homeowners are nervous about handing over a $3,000 silk rug to a stranger, and they should be. We're a family-run shop, fully insured, and every rug gets photographed before pickup so you know exactly what came in and what went out. That's it. No mystery.
Eight steps, no shortcuts. This is the same process we've used on every silk rug that's come through our doors, from $500 art silks to museum pieces.
Step 1
We come to your door, wrap the rug, and load it. No pickup fee, no waiting around.
Step 2
Every rug gets photographed, measured, and inspected for damage, weak spots, and bleeding risk before water touches it.
Step 3
We use low-vibration dusting to shake out years of grit from the foundation. Dirt at the base is what wears silk down.
Step 4
Each color gets swabbed with our wash solution. If a dye runs, we stabilize it before the full wash starts.
Step 5
The rug is laid flat, soaked with cool water, and washed by hand with soft brushes and our pH-balanced organic shampoo.
Step 6
We rinse with clean cool water until every trace of soap is gone, then comb the pile in the right direction so it lays soft.
Step 7
The rug dries flat in our climate room for two to four days. No hangers, no heat guns, nothing that twists the foundation.
Step 8
Fringes get combed, the pile gets a final brush, and the rug is wrapped in breathable cotton. Then we deliver it back, free.
Below are reviews from people in Manhattan who handed us their silk rug and got it back better than expected. You can read more on our Green Carpet Cleaning NYC Google profile. Most of our work comes from word-of-mouth in the Upper East Side, Tribeca, and the West Village, which tells you what you need to know about how seriously we take silk.
Manhattan is our home base, but we cover the rest of NYC too. Free pickup runs throughout the boroughs.
From the Financial District up to Inwood, every silk rug gets picked up and hand-washed at no extra cost.
Park Slope to Williamsburg to Bay Ridge, we offer the same silk rug cleaning in Brooklyn with free pickup.
Silk is what we're known for, but it's not all we touch. Most homes with a silk rug have a wool one in the next room. We clean both, the same careful way.
Wool needs a different shampoo and a different rinse than silk. Our wool rug cleaning uses lanolin-safe organic soap that keeps the fiber soft.
Hand-knotted rugs from Iran, Turkey, and the Caucasus get the full wash-floor treatment. See our Persian rug cleaning and Oriental rug cleaning options.
Old foundations need slow, patient work. Our antique rug cleaning service is built for rugs that can't take aggressive handling.
For everyday rugs in hallways and living rooms, our area rug cleaning and handmade rug cleaning services give you a deep clean without the heirloom price.
