Top-Rated Rug Cleaning & Repair in New York

Rated 5.0 on Google by NYC Rug Owners

"Rug Refinery cleaned a handmade Persian rug that had been in our Manhattan apartment for years. They explained the process clearly, arranged pickup, and returned it looking noticeably brighter and fresher."
Richard
“Rug Refinery did a great job repairing my persian rug. I was a little hesitant because it's an antique rug and was worried about the damage it had. I'm glad I went with them, they kept me informed the whole way and did a great job!”
Navi
“I was quoted an astronomical price from the rug store I bought my oushak rug from to fix some pet damage. I contacted Rug Refinery, and they gave me a reasonable price for the repair and cleaning. The work is spectacular.”
Vishal
“We contacted Rug Refinery about pet stains and odor on a wool area rug in Brooklyn. Communication was easy, the pickup was convenient, and they were honest about what could and could not be treated. The improvement was impressive.”
Samantha
“We had an older rug with damaged fringes and several years of dirt that built up. Sheena at Rug Refinery did a great job and explained the repair options before starting. The finished rug looks brighter and the fringes look original to the rug. One of the few that actually don't use machines and do it by hand. Great job!”
Mina
“I'm very happy with the service. Our Moroccan looks good as new. We had a stain that we tried to take off ourselves, which only made it worse. I texted Rug Refinery a few photos and they took care of the rest. Pick up and drop off was easy in midtown. Recommended!”
Emil
“Our rug was too large for the living room in our new Astoria apartment. Rug Refinery resized it and finished the edges so neatly that it looks like it was made for the space.”
Nikos
“I just had a Kilim Rug cleaned and everything was seamless. I got the quote same day and they were able to pick up and deliver the rug back to me in Brooklyn. I really appreciated that I was able to do most of this over text. I usually don't write reviews but they were so kind and you really don't find this type of service anymore. Highly Recommended!”
Oliver
“We sent photos of a damaged handmade rug and received a clear explanation of the repair options. The estimate was straightforward, and the completed work was careful and clean.”
