Rug, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Short Hills
Short Hills' large homes and fine rugs — Persian, Oriental and area-rug cleaning with careful pickup and delivery.
Short Hills has many large homes that hold wool, silk and hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs alongside extensive wall-to-wall carpet and upholstery.
Those better rugs almost always call for pickup and delivery, so they can be washed properly at a professional rug-cleaning facility rather than surface-cleaned in place.
Fine Rugs and Full-Home Cleaning
We choose a rug's treatment based on its fiber, size, stains and age, and we're candid that a silk rug, a wool Persian and a synthetic each need a different process. Our default is the least aggressive treatment that will realistically work — and an honest estimate, since we never guarantee 100% stain removal.
When a rug shows color loss or old pet-urine damage, we clean first, let our specialist evaluate, and only then discuss any repair — never a repair quote from a photo.

Rug Pickup & Delivery for Short Hills
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.
Short Hills 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 Short Hills, 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 realistic is full stain removal?
It depends on the stain and how long it has been there. Basic typically helps a little with tough stains, Shampoo more, and Deep the most, but some old stains never fully come out. We tell you what to expect up front instead of guaranteeing 100%.
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.
What if the job is bigger than I described on the phone?
If the actual size, item count, stain age or condition differs materially from what was described, we stop before treatment, explain, and give a revised recommendation and quote. You approve the revised work before we begin — or you can decline.
