Rug, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Scarsdale
Scarsdale's large Tudor and colonial homes — fine rug cleaning, carpet and upholstery, with careful pickup and delivery.
Scarsdale's large Tudor, colonial and stone homes are full of the surfaces we clean: wall-to-wall carpet and stairs, generous upholstery, and fine wool, silk and hand-knotted area rugs in living and dining rooms.
Those better rugs are usually best served by pickup and delivery, where a full facility wash can be done under controlled conditions rather than in the home.
Fine Rugs and Larger Homes
We start by asking what a rug is made of, how big it is, and what — if anything — has stained it, because a silk piece and a wool runner are cleaned very differently. Our advice is to use the least aggressive treatment that will realistically work, and we're honest that some aged or dye-based stains improve only partway.
For rugs with color loss from bleach or long-standing pet urine, cleaning and color repair are separate steps handled after the rug is cleaned and evaluated by our specialist.

Pickup & Delivery for Scarsdale's Fine Rugs
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.
Scarsdale 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 Scarsdale, 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 do you price sofa and upholstery cleaning?
Sofas are priced by the number of seating positions — not length, depth or style — which keeps quoting simple. If a sofa described as a 3-seater turns out to be a 6-seater, we stop, explain and re-quote before cleaning.
