Rugs hold embedded soil, spills, pet hair, and odors that surface vacuuming can leave behind. We first evaluate the rug's material, construction, condition, and problem areas, then select an appropriate cleaning approach for homes, apartments, offices, and commercial properties.

Professional deep cleaning helps remove accumulated dirt, dust, and debris trapped within rug fibers, restoring a cleaner and fresher appearance.
Irregular holes in wool, cashmere, silk, or cotton garments — especially in areas not regularly worn or stored in dark, undisturbed places.
Pet accidents can penetrate below the surface of an area rug. Professional treatment can help address visible staining and persistent odors rather than simply masking them.
Cooking odors, pets, spills, moisture, and everyday use can leave rugs smelling less than fresh. Appropriate odor treatment can be incorporated into the professional cleaning process.
Fringe can collect substantial dirt and requires careful handling. When appropriate for the rug, fringe areas receive additional attention during cleaning.
Empire Steamers cleans many types of rugs, including Persian, Oriental, wool, synthetic, vintage, antique, and other specialty area rugs.
Not every area rug should be cleaned the same way. Fiber, construction, dyes, age, condition, and staining can all affect the appropriate cleaning method.

Different rugs require different levels of care. A synthetic area rug should not automatically be treated the same way as a handmade Persian rug or delicate antique rug.
Different rugs require different levels of care. A synthetic area rug should not automatically be treated the same way as a handmade Persian rug or delicate antique rug.
Oriental rugs can vary considerably in construction, fiber, age, and condition. Professional care should account for those differences rather than treating every Oriental rug with the same method.
Wool is durable and naturally resilient, but it still requires appropriate professional care. Cleaning should take the characteristics of natural wool fibers into consideration.
Older rugs can require additional care due to age, existing wear, delicate fibers, dyes, and construction. Evaluate antique and vintage rugs before cleaning.
Pet accidents are among the most difficult problems to address with ordinary household rug cleaning. Urine can penetrate deep into rug fibers and, depending on construction, potentially reach underlying materials.
Empire Steamers provides professional pet stain and odor treatment for area rugs in NYC. We evaluate the affected area, rug material, and extent of the problem before recommending an appropriate treatment. While we do not promise complete removal of every permanent stain, professional treatment can often significantly improve staining and odors.
Coffee, wine, food, mud, pet accidents, and everyday spills can interact differently with rug fibers. DIY products can sometimes spread a stain, leave residue, or affect color. Professional rug stain removal should begin by evaluating both the stain and the rug. We encourage customers to blot excess liquid rather than aggressively scrub the fibers before our technicians arrive.
