Professional Rug Cleaning & Resizing on the Upper West Side
Rug Refinery provides professional rug cleaning on the Upper West Side for rugs in prewar apartments, brownstones, condominiums and family homes. Our services include area rug cleaning, Persian and Oriental rug cleaning, antique rug restoration, rug repair, fringe work, pet stain and odor treatment, moth-damage repair, rug resizing, binding and custom finishing.
Upper West Side interiors often bring together antique furniture, inherited rugs, durable wool pieces and contemporary family-friendly furnishings. Each rug is evaluated by its fiber, weave, dye stability, age and condition so the recommended cleaning or repair method reflects the piece itself—not a one-process-fits-all approach.
Area rug cleaning for active family homes
Foot traffic, children, pets, food spills and city dust can leave contamination below the surface of an area rug. Professional off-site cleaning allows for dry-soil removal, dye testing, washing or another appropriate process, targeted treatment and controlled drying. Standard professional rug cleaning is currently $7.00 per square foot; specialty treatments, repairs, pickup and delivery are quoted separately when applicable.
Antique, Persian and wool rug care
We clean and restore Persian, Oriental, antique, Oushak, Kilim, wool and other handmade rugs. Older rugs may have weakened foundations, previous repairs or worn areas that should be identified before cleaning. The goal is to improve cleanliness and function while respecting the texture and character developed over time.
Rug repair for everyday wear and damage
Services are available for holes, tears, open seams, worn side cords, damaged fringe, chewed corners and localized moth or pet damage. Depending on the rug, repair may involve stabilization, reweaving, fringe work or more extensive restoration.
Rug resizing for new rooms and layouts
Moves, renovations and furniture changes can leave a well-loved rug too large or awkwardly proportioned. Suitable rugs can be reduced or reshaped for a living room, dining area, bedroom, hallway or custom footprint. We assess the construction and pattern first, then stabilize and finish the new edge with binding, serging or another appropriate technique.

Complete Rug Care for Upper West Side Apartments, Brownstones & Family Homes
Rug Refinery serves the Upper West Side from Lincoln Square and the West 70s through the West 80s and 90s, Manhattan Valley and nearby blocks. Scheduled pickup and return delivery make professional off-site rug care easier for residences where large rugs, narrow hallways, stairs or elevator rules can complicate transport.
Rug care suited to prewar spaces and brownstones
Prewar apartments and brownstones often have defined room proportions, narrow passages and architectural details that make rug fit especially important. An oversized rug may interfere with doors, radiators or furniture placement, while a long-held antique or wool rug may need cleaning and edge repair before returning to daily use. We can evaluate both condition and finished dimensions as part of the same project.

Practical care for antique and everyday wool rugs
Not every rug needs the same level of intervention. A valuable antique piece may call for detailed hand restoration, while a durable family-room wool rug may primarily need thorough cleaning, stain treatment and a secure edge repair. The condition assessment helps separate necessary work from optional improvements.
Request an Upper West Side rug estimate
Send photos of the full rug and any stains, holes, fringe damage or worn areas, along with approximate dimensions and your Upper West Side location. For resizing, include the desired finished size and, if possible, a photo of the room. Mention stairs, elevator rules or building access requirements so pickup can be planned accurately.
