Why Professional Oriental Rug Cleaning is Essential
Oriental rugs are more than just decorative pieces; they are valuable investments that require proper care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Over time, dirt, dust, pet dander, and spills accumulate within the rug’s fibers, leading to discoloration, unpleasant odors, and deterioration. If not cleaned properly, these contaminants can cause permanent damage.
At Empire Steamers, we specialize in professional Oriental rug cleaning in NYC, ensuring your rug looks its best while maintaining its durability. Whether your rug is Persian, Turkish, Moroccan, or any other fine handcrafted piece, our expert team uses advanced, eco-friendly techniques to remove stains, eliminate odors, and restore vibrancy.
