Handmade rug cleaning in NYC starts at $89 with Green Choice Carpet Cleaning. We clean by hand with 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions safe for natural dyes, hand-knotted foundations, and delicate fibers. No bleeding, no shrinking, no chemical smell. Wool, silk, cotton, and tribal handmade rugs picked up and returned across all 5 boroughs and Long Island.
A handmade rug is not the same as a machine-made one. Every knot was tied by a person, the dyes are often plant-based, and the foundation is usually cotton or wool that swells the second it gets wet wrong. We treat each piece slow, by hand, in our wash facility. No rotary brushes, no harsh detergents, no truck-mount steam shoved into the pile. Just the old way of washing rugs that craftsmen have used for decades, paired with safe modern testing.
Your rug breathes when it's wet. If a cleaner uses too much water pressure, the knots loosen and the rug warps. We dry flat in a climate-controlled room so the shape stays true.
Natural Dyes Bleed Without WarningVegetable dyes from a Tabriz or Heriz rug can run into the white field if pH is off by a little. Every rug gets a dye-test in three spots before water touches it.
A single handmade rug can hold wool pile, silk highlights, and cotton fringe. Each fiber needs its own gentle touch. We separate the treatment for each part, not one cleaner for the whole rug.
Older handmade rugs have weak spots near the ends. We hand-rinse those areas with a flat brush, never a beater bar. If we see a tear, we tell you before we start. No surprises.
Apartments in the city pack a lot into one rug. Foot traffic, pet hair, radiator dust, takeout drips, plus the moisture that gets trapped under furniture. Handmade rugs hold all of that deeper than carpet does, and home methods rarely pull it out without damage.
City air leaves a fine black layer in the pile. We use a low-vibration dusting machine first so loose dirt comes out before any water hits the rug.
Urine reaches the foundation fast on a handmade rug. We submerge-bath those rugs so the smell and salts wash out, not just the surface.
These are the top three we see in city homes. We treat each with a different organic spotter before the main wash, never one-size-fits-all.
Wool moths love rugs left under beds and sofas. We check the back of every rug and treat with a natural moth deterrent if needed.
Old NYC buildings leak. If your rug sat damp, we dry it slow with airflow underneath, not heat that locks the smell in.
Most fringe damage we see came from someone's Dyson. We hand-wash the fringe separate and re-twist loose strands by hand.
We've been hand-washing rugs for New Yorkers for years and we keep it simple. Pickup, wash by hand at our plant, deliver back clean and dry. Same gentle method whether you're in a brownstone in Brooklyn or a high-rise in Midtown.
Photos tell the story better than we can. Below are some of our recent handmade rug jobs from NYC clients, the before and after speak for themselves. Real rugs, real homes, real results.
Most of our work is in homes. Whether your rug lives in a Manhattan Carpet Cleaning client's living room, a Brooklyn brownstone, or out in Long Island Carpet Cleaning, we pick it up and bring it back. Family rugs, dowry pieces, weekend-house rugs, all handled the same gentle way. We also offer Residential Carpet Cleaning if your wall-to-wall needs attention too.
Law firms, galleries, design studios, hotel lobbies. We clean handmade rugs for businesses across Brooklyn Carpet Cleaning and Queens Carpet Cleaning. After-hours pickup is no problem. Pair it with our Commercial Carpet Cleaning service for the whole space.
Inherited a Persian or Oriental piece? We treat it like the heirloom it is. Clients in Westchester and across the city trust us with rugs worth five and six figures. We also handle Antique Rug Cleaning, Persian Rug Cleaning NYC, and Silk Rug Cleaning with the same hand-wash care.

Every rug goes through the same 8-step hand process at our facility. No shortcuts, no skipped steps, no machine doing the work a human should.
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.
Our reviews come from real homes across the city. Folks who were nervous about handing over a 100-year-old family rug, and got it back looking like the day it was woven. Read what they have to say, then call us when you're ready.
