Rug, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in New Canaan
New Canaan's large colonial and modern homes — fine rug, carpet and upholstery cleaning, with pickup and delivery.
New Canaan's large colonial and mid-century modern homes hold plenty of the surfaces we clean: wall-to-wall carpet, staircases, generous upholstery and fine wool, silk and hand-knotted area rugs.
The better rugs are best served by pickup and delivery and a full facility wash, while carpet, stairs and upholstery are cleaned on-site.
Fine Rugs and Larger Homes
Before recommending a treatment we ask what a rug is made of, how large it is and what's stained it, because silk, wool and synthetic pieces are cleaned very differently. We favor the least aggressive treatment that will realistically work and are honest about what aged stains will and won't do.
Rugs with color loss from bleach or long-standing pet urine are handled as repair questions after cleaning and a specialist evaluation, never quoted blind from a photo.
Cleaning Services We Offer in New Canaan
Rug Pickup & Delivery for New Canaan
For wool, silk and hand-knotted rugs, our rug pickup & delivery service is often the safest choice: we discuss the rug's size and condition, collect it, clean it at a professional rug-cleaning facility with the right treatment, and return it. Off-site rug cleaning starts at $4 per square foot with a $140 minimum, and there is no separate pickup, delivery or distance fee.
New Canaan FAQ
Is offsite rug cleaning better than cleaning in my home?
For wool, silk or hand-knotted rugs it usually is: a controlled facility wash rinses out more than an in-home surface clean. We pick up in New Canaan, clean at $4 to $8 per square foot ($140 minimum) and deliver back, with no separate pickup or delivery charge.
Can you repair or restore a damaged rug?
We handle rug repair and restoration, but final pricing isn't given from a photo. The rug is cleaned first, then evaluated by our specialist, who determines what repair is actually needed. Repairs begin only after you approve them.
How much of a tough stain can you realistically remove?
From experience, Basic often improves a difficult stain modestly, Shampoo removes noticeably more, and Deep Shampoo the most — but these are honest expectations, not guarantees, and some set-in stains only partly resolve. We assess before starting.
Is a faded or bleached patch something you can clean out?
Cleaning won't fix it, because bleach removes the color from the fiber rather than leaving a stain on top. That falls under color repair, not cleaning, and we'd assess it in person before suggesting anything.
How long does water-damage drying take?
There's no fixed one- or two-day promise. Equipment stays in place according to actual moisture readings — sometimes a day, sometimes several — and we re-check and remove it only once readings show the area has dried enough.
