Oriental rug cleaning starts at $89 in NYC. At Green Carpet Cleaning NYC, we hand-wash every Oriental rug with 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions. No harsh chemicals, no color bleeding, no fiber shock. Hand-knotted Chinese, Turkish, Indian, Tibetan, and Persian-style Orientals all cleaned safely. Pickup and delivery across all five boroughs and Long Island.
An Oriental rug is not the same animal as wall-to-wall carpet. The dyes are older, the knots are tighter, and the foundation is usually cotton or silk that swells the second wrong water hits it. We've cleaned Orientals in NYC apartments for years, and the truth is most damage we see comes from someone treating it like a regular rug. Hot water, strong detergent, machine scrubbing — that's how a $4,000 rug turns into a $400 problem. Our way is slower, cooler, and gentler. Hand work, plain and simple.
Machines pull on knots from the back. After enough cycles, those knots loosen. We wash by hand on a flat wash floor, working with the pile, never against it. That's why your rug cleaning lasts.
A lot of Orientals from the 60s and earlier use vegetable dyes. Those dyes love to bleed if the water is too warm or the soap too strong. We test every rug for dye stability before any water touches it. No surprises. No pink fringes turning red.
Cotton warp and weft holds the whole rug together. Soak it wrong and it shrinks, twists, or rots. We control water volume the whole way through and dry the rug flat in a temperature-controlled room. Same way they did it 100 years ago.
Look at any Oriental that's been machine-cleaned twice. The fringes are gray, frayed, or curling. We hand-brush fringes separately with a softer solution. Small detail, big difference when you put the rug back down.
Living in the city is rough on rugs. Steam heat dries out the wool. Window soot grays the pile. Pets, kids, deliveries, dinner parties — everything ends up on the floor first. Here's what we deal with most weeks at Green Carpet Cleaning NYC.
Open a window for two days and your rug catches a fine black film. Vacuums miss it. We wash it out with a low-pressure rinse that lifts grit without grinding it deeper into the wool.
Urine doesn't sit on top. It runs through the pile, into the foundation, into the floor underneath. Surface cleaning is useless. We treat pet stains from both sides of the rug.
Folded an Oriental in a closet last summer? Check the underside. Moth larvae eat wool from below where you can't see. We inspect every rug on intake and treat it with a non-toxic moth wash if we find any.
Three things that ruin an Oriental fast. Don't scrub them. Blot, cover, and call us. Our stain removal work pulls these out before they oxidize.
If your last cleaner left soap in the rug, it yellows over months. We do a clean-water rinse cycle three times to make sure no detergent stays behind.
Usually means the rug was dried hanging instead of flat. We block it back to shape during drying. Takes longer, costs nothing extra.
A clean rug is a clean rug. The difference is what's around it — the price, the honesty, the people who show up at your door. Here's what you get with us.
Pictures tell the story better than I can. Below you'll see real before-and-afters from real NYC clients — apartments in Murray Hill, brownstones in Park Slope, a beach house in Long Beach. Same rugs, just clean.
We don't just cover Manhattan. Our trucks run all over Long Island five days a week, picking up rugs and dropping them back washed and dry. If you're on the Island, you're on our route.
Most of our Long Island work is in homes — co-ops, condos, single-family. We pick up from Nassau and Suffolk and bring rugs back washed within a week. Long Island carpet cleaning covers the same towns. We also handle area rug cleaning on Long Island and Persian rug cleaning on Long Island if your collection mixes styles.
Law offices, doctor's waiting rooms, boutique hotels — anywhere with an Oriental in the lobby. We work after hours so your business doesn't stop. See our Long Island commercial carpet cleaning page for setup. Long Island Oriental rug cleaning handles the on-site visits.
If you've got a runner or a 4x6 and you're already passing through, drop it off and save on the pickup fee. Drop-off rug cleaning works the same way for Oriental pieces. Pair it with wool rug cleaning if your rug is wool-pile.
Here's the honest version. We're a family-run shop based at 635 W 42nd St in Manhattan. We answer our own phones. We show up when we say we will. If a rug comes back not right, we redo it — no debate, no fine print. That's the deal. Call +1 (347) 594-1032 today and we'll quote your rug over the phone in 5 minutes.
Every rug goes through the same eight stages in our shop. No shortcuts, no skipped steps, no matter the size or price.
Step 1
Our driver photographs the rug at your door so we both know its condition.
Step 2
We dab a corner with water and white cloth to see if any color moves.
Step 3
Compressed air on the back loosens up to 1lb of dust per rug.
Step 4
We apply organic soap by hand to soiled spots and pet areas.
Step 5
Soft brushes, body-temperature water, with the pile direction.
Step 6
Clean water passes through until it runs perfectly clear underneath.
Step 7
Rug lies flat in a heated room for 24 to 48 hours, no hanging.
Step 8
We comb the pile back to its natural lay so it looks new again.
Real reviews from real clients, not stuff we wrote ourselves. People in Brooklyn co-ops, Upper East Side apartments, Forest Hills homes — they leave us a Google review because the rug came back better than they expected. Read them on Green Carpet Cleaning NYC and you'll see what we mean.
Wherever you live in the city, our trucks reach you. Two boroughs we work in every single week:
From the Village to Harlem, our Manhattan Oriental rug cleaning route covers every neighborhood.
Park Slope to Bay Ridge, we run our Brooklyn Oriental rug cleaning trucks daily.
Oriental rugs aren't all we do. Our shop handles every kind of fine rug that comes through the door.
Sister style to Oriental, same hand-wash care. Our Persian rug cleaning uses the exact same nine-step process.
Older than 80 years gets extra-soft handling. Book our antique rug cleaning for anything passed down in the family.
Silk is the trickiest of all. Our silk rug cleaning uses cooler water and a specialty soap to keep that shine.
Most Orientals have a wool pile, but plain wool rugs deserve the same care. Our wool rug cleaning page covers the details.
Oriental rug cleaning in NYC starts at $89 with us. Final price depends on size, fiber, and condition. Free pickup and delivery in all five boroughs.
Yes, we pick up from every Manhattan neighborhood, including walk-ups, doorman buildings, and co-ops. Our driver handles the carry-down at no extra charge.
Not with us. We test every rug for dye stability before washing and use cool water with pH-balanced organic soap, so colors stay locked in.
We're a family-owned shop based at 635 W 42nd St, Manhattan. Cleaning rugs in NYC for over a decade with the same hand-wash standard since day one.
