In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans area rugs in New Brunswick, 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 New Brunswick: what to know
Where a rug lies is where it is cleaned, and in New Brunswick, where 72 percent of homes sit in a building with more than one household, it also dries there, flat on the floor of the room. We begin with the fiber and the weave and test the dyes before any wet cleaning. Wool holds more water than nylon or polyester and dries slower, so on a wool rug we use less. Timing matters if a move is coming. A rug has to be dry all the way through before it is rolled, because one rolled damp can sour or mildew, so leave a full day between the cleaning and the packing if you can. When you call, give the size and the fiber and say what the rug lies on. If the rug proves to need a full immersion wash, we say that at the start.
A cleaning visit in New Brunswick
In New Brunswick the way in changes from block to block. A rented house may be divided into apartments behind one shared door, and a downtown tower has a desk and an elevator. Tell us which you have, the floor, and the flights to climb without an elevator. Say where a work vehicle can stand, since some streets have meters or permit rules, and ask a tower's management about scheduling outside work. We walk the rooms with you first and say what cleaning should do. Afterward let air through, since drying, usually a few hours, takes longer in a closed room.
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 New Brunswick: questions, answered
Can a New Brunswick apartment be cleaned after the furniture is out and before the lease ends?
Yes, and an empty apartment is the easiest kind to clean. Call as soon as you know the date your New Brunswick lease ends, since the visit has to fit ahead of it with time left for the carpet to dry. Give us the number of rooms, the floor and who will open the door.
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.
