In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans area rugs in West New York, New Jersey, and across Hudson 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 West New York: what to know
Roughly one in ten West New York homes is a single family house. The rest belong to buildings that hold two homes or more, and a rug in an apartment gets cleaned on the floor it covers. We clean area rugs where they lie, and we start slowly. The fiber is identified, the dyes are tested for bleeding, and the fringe and the edges are checked for wear, since weak spots need a lighter touch. Wool holds more water than a synthetic fiber and dries slower, so it is cleaned with less moisture. After the spots are treated and the rug is cleaned, it stays flat until dry. Now and then a rug needs a full immersion wash to come clean, and we say so plainly. When you call, tell us the size of the rug and what is under it: hardwood, laminate or carpet.
A cleaning visit in West New York
In a Boulevard East tower or a waterfront building, a visit begins at the front desk. Ask the building ahead of time whether we need to be on a list, which entrance to use and whether there is a service elevator. In a smaller building the way in is more often a stairwell, so give us the number of flights. Either way, tell us where a van can stop to unload. When the cleaning is done, turn on the air conditioning or open the windows. Carpet and fabric are usually dry within a few hours, sooner with a breeze through the room and later on a humid day.
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 West New York: questions, answered
Is a quote for cleaning in West New York free?
Yes. There is no charge for a quote. What it comes to depends on how large the job is, what the material is and what shape it is in. Describe each room or piece, name the fiber or fabric if you can, and flag anything unusual such as heavy staining, so the figure fits the work.
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.
