Area Rug & Oriental Rug Cleaning in Bronx, NYC & Westchester
Delicate fibers, hand-finished care, vivid color restored.
Area rugs and oriental rugs are different from wall-to-wall carpet — they're an investment with delicate dyes, natural fibers, and frayed edges that a standard carpet cleaner can damage. S&E ALB Cleaning Service handles them with the slower, gentler process they require.
Every rug gets inspected for fiber type, dye stability, and existing damage before we commit to a method. Wool, silk, cotton, and synthetic rugs each get their own cleaning solution and technique, and fringes are hand-worked so they don't unravel or discolor.
We offer both in-shop deep cleaning for heavily soiled or delicate pieces and on-site cleaning for rugs that can stay put. Pickup and delivery are available across the Bronx and surrounding areas.

How the Service Works
Inspection
We identify fiber, dyes, and any weak spots to choose the right method and flag concerns.
Dusting
Fine dust and grit are removed from both sides — the step most cleaners skip that causes long-term wear.
Gentle clean
Appropriate solution is worked through by hand or gentle machine, never harsh agitation.
Dry & finish
Rugs are dried with controlled humidity, fringes tidied, and rolled for delivery or re-laying.
FAQ
Area Rug & Oriental Rug Cleaning — Questions We Hear Most
Can you clean silk and antique rugs?
Yes. We test dye stability first and use low-moisture, hand-cleaning methods that protect fragile fibers and dyes.
Is pickup and delivery included?
Pickup and delivery are available as an add-on. Pricing depends on rug size and distance — call (929) 741-8697 for a quote.
How is this different from carpet cleaning?
Carpet machines use heavy agitation and moisture. Rugs get gentler, fiber-specific treatment so colors stay vivid and fibers don't shrink or distort.
How often should an oriental rug be cleaned?
High-use rugs every 1–2 years; decorative pieces every 2–3 years, with dusting in between to extend the clean.
