Antique rug cleaning in NYC starts at $79. At Green Choice Carpet Cleaning, we use 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions — zero harsh chemicals, zero color bleeding, zero fiber damage. Hand-woven, wool, silk, and heritage antique rugs cleaned with care across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester.
Antique rugs are not just floor coverings — they are investments, family heirlooms, and pieces of history. One wrong cleaning method and you can permanently damage colors that took artisans decades to perfect. We have been cleaning antique rugs across NYC for years, and we know exactly what separates a safe clean from a costly mistake. Our team studies every rug before touching it — fiber type, dye age, weave density — because antique rugs simply cannot be treated like a modern machine-made rug. That is why homeowners across Manhattan and Brooklyn call us first.
Natural dyes used in antique rugs from the 1800s and early 1900s are extremely sensitive. Harsh chemicals cause instant color run. Our organic solutions are pH-tested to protect every original dye without stripping color.
Antique rugs are hand-tied knot by knot — sometimes with thousands of knots per square inch. Machine scrubbing or strong agitation breaks those fibers fast. We use soft-hand methods that lift dirt without pulling apart aged knots.
Years of foot traffic pushes fine grit deep into the base of antique rugs. Surface vacuuming misses it completely. Our process shakes loose that embedded debris first before any wet cleaning begins, protecting the foundation of your rug.
Improper drying causes antique rugs to shrink, curl, or warp permanently. We control the entire drying environment so your rug lays perfectly flat and returns to you in the same shape it left — no warping, no stiffness, no surprises.
NYC living is tough on antique rugs. High foot traffic, city dust, humidity changes, and pet accidents all hit antique rugs harder than any other floor covering. Most people do not even realize the damage building up until it is too late.
Pet urine soaks deep into aged fibers and sets permanently if not treated within the right window. Our pet stain removal process neutralizes odor and lifts staining without destroying delicate antique wool or silk.
Antique rugs trap allergens year-round in NYC apartments. Deep cleaning removes what regular vacuuming never can.
Water stains on antique rugs create permanent tide marks if dried incorrectly. Fast professional response is everything.
NYC apartments with large windows cause UV fading over time. Cleaning restores brightness and removes surface oxidation from sun-damaged pile.
Old wool and silk trap smells deeply. Our odor removal treatment reaches the source — not just the surface.
Old food, wine, or grease stains that sat untreated become permanent without specialist care. We assess and treat each stain individually.
We are not a general cleaning company that handles antique rugs on the side. This is specialized work and we treat it that way — every single time.
Real rugs. Real results. Every before-and-after you see below came from a NYC home just like yours. The color comes back. The pile lifts. The rug looks the way it was meant to look — and it stays that way.
From century-old Persian pieces in Upper Manhattan penthouses to hand-woven tribal rugs in Queens family homes — we clean antique rugs everywhere across New York City.

Residents in Westchester also call us regularly for antique rug pickup and cleaning.
Hotels, law firms, executive offices, and galleries across Manhattan commercial spaces display antique rugs as statement pieces. These rugs take heavy foot traffic and need professional cleaning that protects their value. We work around your schedule — evenings, weekends — so your space is never disrupted. Our commercial cleaning team handles large-format antique rugs used in lobbies, boardrooms, and reception areas across all five boroughs.

We do not guess our way through antique rug cleaning. Every rug goes through the same proven 8-step process — because when the rug is 100 years old, there is no room for shortcuts.
Step 1
We identify your rug material — wool, silk, synthetic, or hand-knotted — before selecting the right cleaning method.
Step 2
Compressed air and gentle beating remove loose dry particles trapped deep inside the pile before wet cleaning begins.
Step 3
organic pre-treatment applied across the full rug surface to loosen stains, odors, and embedded soil safely.
Step 4
Soft-bristle tools work the solution deep into fibers without pulling, fraying, or stretching the weave structure.
Step 5
Powerful extraction pulls out the broken-down dirt, allergens, and cleaning solution — leaving fibers clean from root to tip.
Step 6
Targeted enzyme solution applied to pet stains, food spots, and odor zones for complete source elimination — not just surface masking.
Step 7
A clean water rinse flushes out any remaining residue — no sticky leftover, no chemical smell, no dull finish once dry.
Step 8
Proper airflow drying prevents mildew growth and shape distortion — your rug comes back flat, fresh, and fiber-perfect.
