Fine Rug Cleaning & Restoration on the Upper East Side
Rug Refinery provides professional rug cleaning on the Upper East Side for fine rugs in co-ops, condominiums, high-rises and private residences. Our services include area rug cleaning, Persian and Oriental rug cleaning, antique rug restoration, rug repair, fringe repair, stain and odor treatment, rug resizing, binding and custom finishing.
Upper East Side homes often contain rugs chosen for their craftsmanship, provenance and relationship to the interior. A hand-knotted Persian rug, antique Oushak, silk rug and contemporary designer piece can each require a different approach. Before work begins, we assess fiber, weave, dye stability, age, previous repairs and overall condition so the service is matched to the individual rug.
Area rug cleaning for Upper East Side homes
Routine vacuuming removes surface debris, but abrasive soil, fine dust, spills, pet residue and odor can settle deeper in the pile and foundation. Professional off-site cleaning allows the rug to be inspected, dye-tested and treated with a process appropriate for its construction. Standard professional rug cleaning is currently $7.00 per square foot; specialty treatments, repairs, pickup and delivery are quoted separately when applicable.
Persian, Oriental and antique rug care
Fine handmade rugs benefit from careful handling at every stage. We clean and restore Persian, Oriental, Turkish, Oushak, Kilim, Moroccan, wool, silk and other specialty rugs. The goal is to remove embedded contamination while respecting the color, texture and character of the piece.
Rug repair and restoration
We address holes, tears, worn edges, open seams, damaged fringe, chewed corners, pet damage and localized moth damage. Antique rugs or pieces with structural loss may require foundation reconstruction, hand-reweaving, pile restoration or color correction where appropriate.
Resizing rugs for precise apartment layouts
A rug may need to change after a move, renovation or furniture update. Suitable rugs can be reduced or reshaped for a dining room, bedroom, hallway or other defined footprint. We review the pattern and border before cutting, stabilize the new edge and finish it with binding, serging or another appropriate treatment.

White-Glove Rug Care for Upper East Side Apartments, Co-ops & Condos
Professional rug care on the Upper East Side requires both skilled workmanship and thoughtful building coordination. Rug Refinery serves residences from Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue to Carnegie Hill, Lenox Hill, Yorkville and nearby blocks, with scheduled pickup and return delivery for rugs that should not be folded into a car or handled without preparation.
Pickup coordinated around building requirements
Co-ops, condominiums and doorman buildings may require a certificate of insurance, service-entrance access, advance scheduling or a reserved freight elevator. Share those requirements with your estimate request so pickup can be planned before collection. This is especially helpful for large room-size rugs, delicate antique pieces and residences with limited elevator or hallway access.

Individual care for valuable and delicate rugs
Fine rugs should not be assigned a generic process based only on their appearance. An older foundation, unstable dye, delicate silk pile or previous repair can change what is appropriate. Each rug is evaluated individually, and any condition that affects the recommended service is discussed before work proceeds.
Request an Upper East Side rug estimate
Send clear photos of the entire rug, close-ups of stains or damage, approximate dimensions and your Upper East Side location. For resizing, include the desired finished size. If your building requires a COI, service entrance or freight-elevator reservation, include that information so pickup logistics can be addressed with the estimate.
