Flokati rug cleaning starts at $89 across NYC. At Green Carpet Cleaning, we wash your shaggy wool flokati by hand using 100% organic, pH-balanced soap that is safe for the long fibers, the cotton backing, and your kids. No harsh chemicals, no shrinking, no flat matted look afterwards. We pick up, deep clean off-site, fluff the pile back to life, and deliver back across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester.
A flokati is not your normal rug. The long shaggy wool pile is the whole point of the rug, and it is also the part that gets damaged the fastest when somebody throws it in a machine or uses regular carpet shampoo on it. We have been washing flokatis for years, and the truth is most of the ones we get on the truck have already been ruined a little by someone trying to clean it the wrong way. Our job is to bring the fluff back without hurting the wool.
Dust, hair, food crumbs, and skin cells sink deep into the shag. A vacuum cannot pull it out. Only a full wash with the right soap can clear it.
Flokati pile flattens when people walk on it or when it gets cleaned wrong. We groom the wool back up after washing so the rug looks shaggy again, not pressed.
Hot water shrinks wool. Strong soap strips the natural oils. We use cool water and our organic cleaning solution so the fibers stay soft and full.
A flokati has a woven cotton base under all that wool. Rough scrubbing rips it. We handle the rug flat and never machine-tumble it, so the backing stays strong.
City life is hard on a shaggy white rug. Small apartments, pets, kids, shoes coming in from the street — it all ends up in the pile. Here is what we see most often when a flokati lands at our cleaning facility, and what we do about each one.
Body oils and dirt turn the white wool yellow over time. We pre-soak and rinse twice to lift the yellow tone out gently.
Urine goes all the way through to the backing. We use enzyme treatment with our pet stain removal process to kill the smell.
Spills hide deep in shag rugs because the surface looks fine. We spot-treat each stain by hand before the full wash, no shortcuts. See more on stain removal.
NYC dust sits in deep pile rugs more than any other type. Our dusting machine pulls out pounds of dry dirt before water ever touches the wool.
Walked-on flokatis lose their shaggy look. After washing, we comb and groom the wool back upward so it stands tall again.
Wool holds moisture and starts smelling musty. We dry the rug flat with airflow control so no odor stays behind.
Picking the right cleaner for a flokati matters because a wrong wash can flatten or shrink the rug forever. Here is what makes our work different from a regular carpet truck.
Look at what a proper wash does to a yellowed, flat, sad-looking flokati. The pile comes back, the white turns white again, and the rug feels soft enough to lay down on the way it did the day you bought it.
Most of our pickups are family homes and apartments. We service Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the wider Westchester wool rug cleaning area for residential flokati jobs every week.

Boutique shops, design studios, and yoga rooms in the city all use flokatis for the soft look. Our commercial cleaning team handles those bigger jobs after-hours so business never stops.
Flokati is part of a bigger family of wool and shag rugs. We also cover wool rug cleaning on Long Island and full shag rug cleaning for any town across Nassau and Suffolk County.
A flokati is not cheap to buy and not easy to replace. People want to hand it to someone they can trust. We pick up your rug, give you a written receipt, and your rug stays insured the whole time it is with us. No mystery, no guessing.
Every flokati that lands at our plant goes through the same careful steps. Nothing skipped, nothing rushed. Here is what happens from pickup to drop-off.
Step 1
A team member comes to your address, wraps the rug, and logs it in front of you.
Step 2
We photograph the rug top and back, noting weak spots, stains, and color zones.
Step 3
A damp white cloth on every color block tells us which dyes need locking before water.
Step 4
Soft air dusting from the back lifts out years of fine dirt and grit.
Step 5
Cold water and our wool-safe organic soap, applied with sponges, in small sections.
Step 6
Any stains left after the main wash get hand-treated with fiber-safe spotters.
Step 7
Rug lies flat on a raised rack, fan-dried at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours.
Step 8
Pile is brushed back into direction, rug wrapped in clean paper, and dropped at your door.
Most of our reviews come from people who thought their flokati was done for. They got it back fluffy, white, and soft like the first day. We work hard for those reviews and we read every one. Your trust is the reason this small NYC family business is still standing after all these years.
Our trucks run through the city every day picking up flokatis from homes and design studios. Two of our busiest pickup areas are below.
Park Slope, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights — our Brooklyn area rug cleaning team picks up anywhere across the borough.
Flokati is one of many specialty rugs we hand-wash. If you have other rugs at home that need the same gentle care, we cover those too.
Soft wool pile rugs need cool water and gentle soap. Our wool rug cleaning service uses the same hand-wash method as our flokati work.
Long-pile shag rugs trap dust and pet hair deep down. Our shag rug cleaning process flushes it all out without flattening the pile.
Hand-knotted rugs need expert hands. Our Persian rug cleaning and Oriental rug cleaning services protect the dyes and the knots.
Old rugs are fragile and need slow careful washing. We handle antique rug cleaning and handmade rug cleaning with the same care.
Yes. We pick up from any apartment, walk-up, or doorman building across all five boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester at no extra charge.
Most flokatis are washed, dried flat, groomed, and delivered back in 7 to 10 business days, depending on the size and stain level.
Yes, in most cases. Our organic pre-soak lifts yellowing from body oils and city dust, bringing the natural cream-white color back.
Yes. Every rug is insured from pickup to delivery, and you get a signed receipt at pickup. We have served NYC families for over 20 years.
