In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans area rugs in Edison, New Jersey, and across Middlesex County. Before any water touches a rug we check the fiber and test the dyes, then choose a method for that rug. Wool, synthetic, Persian, Oriental and shag rugs are all cleaned this way. If a rug is better picked up than cleaned on your floor, we say so before starting.
Rug cleaning in Edison: what to know
About a quarter of Edison homes were built before 1960 and the rest came later, so an area rug here may lie on old hardwood, on newer laminate or on top of wall to wall carpet. Each of those changes how we work, because the rug is cleaned in place and whatever is beneath it has to be kept dry. We start with the fiber and a dye test. Wool takes in more water than nylon or polyester and gives it back slowly, so a wool rug gets less water and more drying time. Say what the rug rests on when you call, along with its size, and move lamps and side tables off it before we arrive. Should a full immersion wash be the better course for the rug, you hear it from us before any cleaning is done.
A cleaning visit in Edison
Most visits in Edison begin in a driveway. At a single family house we park close to the door and need a clear path to the rooms being cleaned. In a garden apartment or a condominium complex, tell us the building number, the floor and where visitors may park, because the nearest space can be a long walk from the entrance. An upstairs unit reached by an outside stair is no trouble if we know in advance. Afterward, carpet and fabric usually dry within a few hours. Switch on the ceiling fans or the fan of your heating system, and expect a humid day to slow things down.
How a rug cleaning visit goes
We identify the rug
Fiber, construction, dyes, fringe and backing are checked, and the dyes are tested in a corner.
We remove dry soil
Thorough vacuuming takes out the grit at the base of the pile before any water is used.
We clean to the rug's limits
Spots first, then cleaning with the water and temperature that the fiber and dyes allow.
We groom and dry
The pile is set in one direction and the rug dries flat with air moving across it.

Rug cleaning in Edison: questions, answered
What does a carpet cleaning quote depend on in Edison?
On three things: the area to be cleaned, the fiber and the state the carpet is in. The quote itself is free. An Edison house with carpeted stairs and several bedrooms is a different job from a one bedroom apartment, so tell us the rooms, the number of steps and any pet stains.
Do you pick up rugs and bring them back?
Yes. We clean a rug in your home, or we pick it up from your home, clean it and return it rolled and wrapped. Tell us the size of the rug and the floor it is on when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean silk or viscose rugs?
With great caution. Silk and viscose lose their sheen and can be marked by water, so we test first and clean only the surface when the test allows it. Some of these rugs are better left to a specialist in that fiber, and we say so.
Will the fringe turn yellow or shrink?
It should not when it is handled correctly. Cotton fringe is cleaned by hand, separately from the pile, and dried quickly, because slow drying is what browns it.
How long does a rug take to dry?
Usually a few hours for a synthetic rug and longer for wool, which holds more water. Air moving across the rug matters more than heat. Keep furniture and the pad off it until it is dry.
