Rug Cleaning in Park Slope
Park Slope's brownstones and limestone row houses are busy family homes, and the rugs in them work hard. Wool rugs in living rooms and nurseries, pets on the furniture, spills at the table: we see it all, and most of it washes out.
Hand-knotted or washable
Parents often ask whether a hand-knotted wool rug makes sense with young children and pets. Our honest view: good wool is naturally soil-resistant and forgiving, and a hand-knotted rug can be washed many times over its life. Machine-washable rugs are convenient for small spaces but wear out faster. For a main living room, a sturdy hand-knotted wool rug with a regular professional wash is often the more practical choice over time.
Odor, stains and nursery rugs
Pet urine is treated at the source with an enzymatic soak and flush, followed by a full wash. Food, juice and drink stains are identified and treated first. Nursery rugs are cleaned with gentle, non-toxic solutions and rinsed thoroughly so nothing harsh remains in the pile where babies play.
In homes with pets, a wash every six to twelve months keeps rugs fresh and prevents odors from setting into the foundation.
How pickup works in Park Slope
We schedule a time window with you, carry rugs from upper floors and down the stoop, and return them clean and dry. If you have several rugs, we can collect them on one visit, and we can tell you at pickup whether any need more than a wash.
Everyday care that helps
A doormat at the stoop and a shoes-off habit at the front door keep most grit out of the house. Vacuum rugs weekly, a little more where the dog sleeps, and turn them every six months so wear stays even. For spills, blot quickly with a white cloth and cold water and avoid scrubbing. If a pet has an accident, blot it, rinse lightly with cold water and keep the area dry, then let us know so it can be treated properly at the next wash.
