Antique rug cleaning in Queens starts at $89. At Green Carpet Cleaning, we use 100% organic, pH-balanced, dye-safe solutions. No harsh chemicals, no color bleeding, no fiber damage. Hand-knotted antique, Persian, Oriental, silk and wool rugs cleaned by hand in our Queens facility — pickup and delivery free across all neighborhoods.
Antique rugs are not the same as the modern rug you bought last year at the store. The dyes are older, the foundation is fragile, and the wool or silk has thinned in spots. A regular steam machine will ruin a 80-year-old Heriz or Sarouk in one wash. That is why our antique rug cleaning process is done by hand, in cold water, with mild organic soap, by people who have washed these rugs for years here in Queens.
Most antique rugs from the 1800s and early 1900s use natural plant dyes. Hot water and strong soap will move that color into nearby fibers. We do a colorfast test on every rug first.
The cotton or wool warp underneath your rug gets brittle with age. Heavy machine extraction can tear it. We wash flat on the floor, very gentle, by hand with soft brushes.
Old wool dries out over the years. We add back natural oils after the wash so the pile feels soft again and does not crack when you walk on it.
Antique fringes are often the first thing to fall apart. We hand wash them separate, then re-secure loose ends before we send the rug back to your home.
We do not clean antique rugs in your living room. They need a full submersion bath in a controlled space. We pick the rug up free from your home anywhere in Queens, bring it to our wash plant, and return it in 5 to 7 days fully dry.
Our truck comes to your address in Queens, we roll the rug, tag it, and take it for proper hand washing.
Before any water touches the rug we beat out the dry dirt. Antique rugs hold years of dust deep inside the pile.
The rug soaks flat in cool water with our organic wool-safe shampoo. No machines, no agitation, just gentle hand work.
We brush the pile in the direction of the weave with soft horse-hair brushes. This lifts the dirt without breaking fibers.
Rugs dry flat on a clean floor with airflow. Hanging dries an antique rug crooked and stretches the foundation.
Once dry and inspected we deliver the rug back to your home in Queens and lay it down for you.
We have been washing antique rugs by hand for Queens homeowners and collectors for years. Every rug type below is something we clean in our facility every week.

This is the same process we use on every antique rug that comes into our Queens shop, from a $500 piece to a $50,000 collector item.
Step 1
We check fiber type, weave structure, and any problem areas before a single drop of water touches your rug.
Step 2
Loose dirt, dust, and debris are removed first using gentle dry extraction — prevents mud from forming during wet cleaning.
Step 3
We apply our 100% organic, pH-balanced solution to break down stains, odors, and deep-set grime at the fiber level.
Step 4
Our team works the solution into the rug by hand — no aggressive machines that can stress the weave or pull the pile.
Step 5
All solution, dirt, and residue is fully flushed out. Nothing is left behind — not chemicals, not soil, not smell.
Step 6
Rugs are dried in a climate-controlled environment to prevent shrinking, warping, or mildew — especially important for wool and silk.
Step 7
Pile is brushed back to its natural direction, fringe is straightened, and the rug is inspected for any remaining issues.
Step 8
We do a final walkthrough before the rug goes back to you — because we don't consider the job done until you're fully satisfied.
