Antique rug cleaning on Long Island starts at $79. At Green Choice Carpet Cleaning, we use 100% organic, pH-balanced solutions — completely safe for aged dyes, fragile fibers, and hand-knotted weaves. No harsh chemicals, no color bleeding, no damage. We clean Persian, Oriental, and all antique rugs on-site across Nassau & Suffolk County.
Antique rugs are not just floor coverings — they are woven history. Some are 50, 80, even 100+ years old. The fibers are fragile. The dyes are natural and sensitive. The weave structure is hand-knotted and irreplaceable. Using the wrong cleaning method on an antique rug is a mistake you cannot undo. That is why at Green Choice Carpet Cleaning, we treat every antique rug differently — with a method built specifically for aged, delicate, and heirloom-quality rugs right here on Long Island.
Old wool and silk fibers lose their strength over decades. Standard machine cleaning or heavy scrubbing tears the pile and damages the foundation. We hand-clean every antique rug using low-agitation techniques that protect the original fiber structure from shedding or fraying.
Antique rugs were dyed with plant-based and mineral dyes — indigo, pomegranate, madder root. These dyes react badly to alkaline or acidic cleaners. We use pH-balanced organic solutions that keep every color locked in place, exactly where it belongs, without a single thread bleeding into another.
Machine-made rugs have a backing that holds shape. Hand-knotted antique rugs hold their structure through knot tension alone. Wrong cleaning loosens knots, warps the foundation, and causes rippling. Our team inspects the knot density before touching any antique rug to make sure nothing shifts during cleaning.
A 1920s Persian Kashan is not the same as a 1940s Turkish Kilim. Each antique rug has its own fiber blend, weave style, and dye history. We test each rug individually before cleaning — because a one-size-fits-all approach has no place when the rug on your floor is one of a kind.
Long Island homes — whether in Nassau County or Suffolk County — see real use. Humid summers, harsh winters, salt air near the coast. All of this takes a toll on antique rugs faster than most people expect. If your rug has been sitting in your home for years without a deep clean, here is what to look for.
Dirt particles act like sandpaper against fiber and dye. Over time the colors in your antique rug look flat and lifeless — that is not age, that is soil buildup that needs to come out.
Old rugs trap moisture in their foundation layers. That trapped moisture creates musty odors that do not go away with airing out. A proper deep clean removes the source of the smell completely.
The border of an antique rug collects the most foot traffic soil. If you see dark lines forming around the edges, that rug needs cleaning before the soil works deeper into the pile.
Long Island families with pets know this one well. Pet hair and dander work deep into hand-knotted pile and are almost impossible to vacuum out fully. Professional extraction pulls them out without harming the weave.
An antique rug should feel soft and supple. If it feels stiff or crunchy underfoot, that is dried soil, old spills, or mineral buildup in the fibers — all of which our antique rug cleaning process removes safely.
Moths target wool antique rugs specifically. If you notice small bare patches or unusual shedding, a professional inspection and cleaning is the first step before any restoration work is done.
There are plenty of cleaning companies on Long Island. But antique rug cleaning is a specialty — and not every company has the training, the organic solutions, or the care to handle rugs that cannot be replaced. Here is why Long Island homeowners keep calling us.
Before and after — that is the real story. A rug that came in looking gray and lifeless walks out looking the way it did decades ago. Colors pop. Pile stands up. The smell is completely gone. Every photo you see of our work is a real Long Island home, a real antique rug, a real result.

We do not guess when we clean antique rugs. Every rug goes through the same careful 8-step process — because with antique rugs, one wrong step is one too many. Every antique rug that comes through our hands on Long Island gets the full treatment — no skipped steps, no shortcuts, no excuses.
Step 1
We check fiber type, dye stability, and stain areas before anything touches your rug.
Step 2
We shake and vacuum out all loose dry dirt and debris trapped deep in the pile — this step alone removes up to 80% of the soil.
Step 3
We test your rug's dye reaction and pH level to choose the exact organic solution that will not cause fading or color run.
Step 4
Problem areas — pet stains, food spills, old set-in marks — get pre-treated with our plant-based enzyme solution before the full clean.
Step 5
Our low-moisture organic cleaning machine works the solution deep into every fiber layer, breaking down dirt, bacteria, and allergens from the root.
Step 6
We rinse thoroughly with soft water to remove every trace of cleaning solution — leaving zero residue in the fibers.
Step 7
We dry your rug in a temperature-controlled environment or on-site with professional air movers — no mold risk, no shrinkage, no fiber damage.
Step 8
Before we are done, every technician does a full walk-through inspection — checking fiber feel, color evenness, and smell to make sure your rug is 100% clean and ready.
