In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans area rugs in Paramus, 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 Paramus: what to know
In Paramus, 45 percent of homes were built before 1960 and the rest since, and an area rug may lie on wood, on a hard floor of another kind or on top of wall to wall carpet. Tell us which, because the rug is cleaned where it lies. Tell us also what stands on it. If one of those things is a planter, lift it before you call and look at the rug beneath, since a pot that has seeped for months can leave a stiff, dark ring, and damage of that kind to the fibers is not something cleaning reverses. The dyes are tested ahead of any wet cleaning, the spots are treated first, and a wool rug is handled with its slow drying in mind. If a full immersion wash would serve the rug better, we tell you so before we begin.
A cleaning visit in Paramus
A Paramus visit usually begins at a house, most often in its driveway. Keep the driveway free for us, and say which door is nearest the work: the front, the side or the one through the garage. Inside, we walk the rooms with you before starting, look at the material and its condition, and hear which spots matter to you. Drying is your part. Most carpet and fabric dries in a few hours, faster or slower with the material, the weather and the airflow. If the house has forced air heat or central air, set the fan to run continuously, and open windows when the day is dry.
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 Paramus: questions, answered
Do you clean for stores and offices in Paramus?
Yes. Businesses are part of our work along with homes, and for them we clean the carpet, the area rugs and the upholstered chairs on the premises. Tell us how large the area is, what kind of carpet it has, what condition it is in and how many chairs there are. The quote is free. Call with the address and we confirm the visit.
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.
