For context, professional rug cleaning in New York City generally ranges from about $4 to $10 per square foot depending on the company, cleaning method, and rug type, with silk and antique pieces often priced higher. Our flat rate always includes full submersion hand-washing rather than surface-only cleaning.
What's Included at $8.00 Per Square Foot
Every rug receives our five-step Refinery Standard process: pre-wash inspection and dye testing, harmonic dust extraction, pH-balanced submersion hand-washing, fresh-water rinse with centrifuge moisture extraction, and climate-controlled drying with hand grooming. Pickup and delivery are included.
What Can Affect Your Final Price
Specialized treatments are quoted separately after inspection: pet urine enzyme extraction, moth treatment and prevention, and deep-set stain lifting for wine, coffee, and other organic stains. Structural work such as fringe repair and edge binding or restoration is priced as a separate service.
