In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans area rugs in Hackensack, New Jersey, and across Bergen 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 Hackensack: what to know
Buildings of 20 or more units hold 51 percent of Hackensack homes, and a rug in a tower apartment has one place to dry: the floor it lies on. That is where we clean it. The fiber sets the method and the drying time alike. Wool holds more water than nylon and gives it up more slowly, so a wool rug in a room with little moving air needs patience. A rug's dyes are tested before any wet cleaning, and the spots are treated first. If it turns out that only a full immersion wash will do, you are told so, with the reason. Before the visit, carry the coffee table and the chairs that stand on the rug into another room, and plan a way around it for the few hours it stays damp. For the quote, give us the size and the fiber named on the label.
A cleaning visit in Hackensack
Hackensack has three kinds of front door, and the visit depends on yours. In a high rise, ask the management office which entrance and elevator outside workers use and during what hours, then give us those answers with your floor. In a smaller apartment building, give the building number, the floor and the nearest place to park. At a house, a free driveway or curb space by the door is enough. Carpet or fabric is usually dry a few hours later, sooner or later according to the material, the weather and the airflow. Where windows open only a little, the air conditioning does the work.
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 Hackensack: questions, answered
Do you clean offices and other businesses in Hackensack?
Yes. We clean in businesses as well as in homes, and in a workplace that usually means wall to wall carpet, area rugs and upholstered chairs. Tell us the size of the carpeted area, what the carpet is made of, the shape it is in and the number of chairs. The quote is free, and we are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
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.
