Rug, Upholstery & Carpet Cleaning in Great Neck
Fine wool, silk and hand-knotted rug cleaning for Great Neck homes — with pickup and delivery across Nassau's North Shore.
Great Neck and the surrounding North Shore communities include many homes with fine wool, silk and hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs that deserve more than a surface pass. For those rugs, our pickup-and-delivery service is usually the right call, giving them a full, controlled wash at a professional rug-cleaning facility before they come home.
Larger single-family homes here also mean sizable wall-to-wall areas, staircases and well-used upholstery, so a visit often spans several surfaces.
Fine Rugs Deserve the Right Process
Not every rug takes the same treatment, and that matters most with valuable pieces. Before recommending anything we ask about the rug's material, size, any staining and its age, and photos help — a silk rug, a wool Persian and a machine-made synthetic each call for a different approach. We never promise 100% stain removal, and for delicate dyes we explain what's realistic first.
Where a rug has bleach spots, old pet urine or physical wear, cleaning and repair are separate steps: the rug is cleaned and evaluated by our specialist before any repair is quoted or begun.
Cleaning Services We Offer in Great Neck

Off-site rug cleaning starts at $4 per square foot with a $140 minimum, and there is no separate pickup, delivery or distance fee.
Great Neck 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 Great Neck, clean at $4 to $8 per square foot ($140 minimum) and deliver back, with no separate pickup or delivery charge.
Do you fix fringe or worn edges on rugs?
Repair and restoration are available, but we quote them only after the rug is cleaned and inspected in person — a photo isn't enough to price the work. You approve any repair before it starts, and cleaning-only is always an option.
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%.
My carpet has a bleach spot — can cleaning restore it?
No — bleach strips the dye out of the fiber, so it's lost color rather than dirt, and cleaning can't put color back. It's a color-repair situation, which we'd need to look at in person to advise on.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes. On-site area-rug cleaning has a $99 minimum, and off-site rug cleaning through pickup and delivery has a $140 minimum. Wall-to-wall carpet is priced per room. We'll give you the honest total based on what the job actually involves.
