Silk rug cleaning in NYC starts at $89 with Green Choice Carpet Cleaning. We hand-wash every silk rug using 100% organic, pH-balanced, dye-safe solutions, no harsh chemicals, no machine scrubbing, no color bleeding. Real silk, art silk, viscose, and antique silk rugs all cleaned by hand and air-dried flat. Free pickup and delivery across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester.
Silk is not wool. You cannot drop a silk rug in a regular wash pit and expect it to come out the same. The fibers are protein-based, the dyes are sensitive, and the foundation can shrink if water sits too long. We hand-wash every silk rug in a controlled space, test the dyes before we start, and dry the rug flat so the pile keeps its shape. Most of the silk rugs we clean are family heirlooms or high-value pieces, so we treat them that way.
Silk is thinner than human hair. Rough brushing or hot water breaks the fiber and you get a dull, fuzzy patch. We use soft hand tools and cool water only, so the shine stays where it should.
Old silk rugs were colored with plant dyes that run the second they get wet. We do a dye-stability test on every rug before we wash it. If a color is unstable, we stabilize it first, then clean.
The cotton or silk foundation pulls in when it gets soaked. That is why we never soak. We control the water, work in sections, and never leave a silk rug wet overnight.
A guy with a steam wand should not be touching your silk rug. Our wash team only handles rug cleaning work, and the silk pieces get the most senior cleaner in the shop. That is just how we run it.
We are a local family-run shop, not a franchise that ships your rug to a warehouse in another state. Everything happens in NYC, with our own hands, on our own floor. Here is what that looks like in practice.
We come to your apartment or home, roll your rug, and take it back to the wash facility. No charge for pickup, no charge for delivery.
Silk does not get cleaned on your floor. It comes to the shop where we have proper drying space, lighting, and dye-test stations.
We use only organic, pH-balanced cleaning solutions. No bleach, no optical brighteners, nothing that strips color.
Cat urine on silk is a real problem because it sets fast. We flush the spot, neutralize the salts, and treat it with our pet stain removal process.
Fringes are cleaned by hand, not run through a machine that breaks them off. Small thing, big difference.
We dry every silk rug flat in a climate-controlled room. No hanging, no sun, no shrinking.
People bring us all kinds of silk pieces, antique, modern, mixed-fiber, you name it. Here is what we handle and why people pick us over the big-box cleaners.
We post real photos from real jobs, not stock images. When you see the wine stain gone from a cream silk rug or the dull pile coming back to life, you get why people keep calling us back.
We pick up and deliver across the whole metro area. The truck routes Long Island twice a week and the city daily, so wait times are short. Here is how the coverage breaks down.
We handle home pickups for apartments, brownstones, and houses across the city and suburbs. If you live in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens, we can usually be at your door within 48 hours. Same goes for clients out in Long Island and Westchester silk rug cleaning jobs.
Showrooms, law offices, hotel lobbies, we clean silk display rugs after-hours so business does not stop. For larger commercial work see our commercial carpet cleaning page. We also handle Manhattan commercial accounts and Brooklyn commercial accounts on monthly contracts.
If you would rather bring the rug to us, our drop-off area rug cleaning option is faster and a little cheaper. We also keep silk separate from Long Island silk rug drop-ins and Queens silk pickups so nothing gets mixed up.
Look, when your rug cost more than your couch, you do not hand it to the first cleaner with a Google ad. You want someone who has done this before, ten thousand times, and is not going to ruin it. We have been doing silk rugs in NYC for over 25 years, our wash team is in-house, and every rug is insured the moment we pick it up. Call +1 800-984-4338 today and we will quote your rug honestly, no upsells.
Every silk piece moves through the same nine-step process in our wash facility. Nothing skipped, nothing rushed.
Step 1
We check the rug for dye stability, weak spots, prior repairs, and any stains.
Step 2
A soft beater shakes out years of grit from the foundation. No vacuum on silk.
Step 3
Cotton swab on each color. If a dye runs, we stabilize before water hits the pile.
Step 4
Cool water, organic soap, soft hand tools, worked across the pile with the grain.
Step 5
Spot work on wine, ink, pet, or coffee using targeted, dye-safe solutions only.
Step 6
We rinse three times to pull every trace of soap out, so nothing dulls the shine.
Step 7
Soft towels and gentle suction pull water out without crushing the pile.
Step 8
Rug lies flat in our climate room for 24 to 48 hours, dries even, no shrinking.
Our customers come back, and they send their friends. Most of the work we do on silk is from word-of-mouth, a neighbor saw their rug, a friend showed them the before and after, a designer recommended us. Read what people say about working with our team and judge for yourself.
We cover the full five boroughs plus Long Island and Westchester for every silk job, so your rug never travels far.
Same-week pickup from any address in Manhattan, doorman buildings handled with care.
Silk is one piece of what we do. If you have other rugs in the house that also need work, we handle the full range under one roof.
Thicker pile, different soap, but the same gentle approach. See our wool rug cleaning page for details on how we treat wool.
