RUG CLEANING SERVICES
Offering high quality rug cleaning services
at affordable prices
As you would call a professional to get your carpets cleaned, as you would need to clean your rugs to maintain the quality and longevity of your rug.
If you feel it is time to address the cleanliness of your rugs, call Steam Squad today! We have a friendly staff that can help answer any questions, and schedule a time for one of our estimators to develop a cleaning plan specific to your unique situation.
PROPERLY CLEANING YOUR RUG
Your rug can represent a significant investment and requires specialized care during the cleaning process. After we measure and evaluate the condition of the rug, we will conduct a process proven to ensure your area or Oriental rug is properly cleaned.
Step 1: Assess the Fabric
Our cleaning process will be determined by the type of textiles present in your rug. Natural fibers will be addressed differently than synthetic fibers due to the difference in response to certain temperatures. For example, polyester and other synthetic fibers can be cleaned with very hot water. Natural fibers such as wool, however, must be cleaned with water no hotter than 145 degrees.
Our experienced technicians will be able to determine the proper type of cleaning procedure and will discuss all of the details with you beforehand.
Step 2: Vacuuming & Dusting
Using a vacuum with a gentle rotary brush, we will remove all surface dirt from the rug. Once complete, we will utilize a high-powered air system that provides forced air to the front and back of the rug, working to extract as much dust as possible. This process may be conducted two or three times- until the dust has been removed.
Step 3: Cleaning
Once the dust is removed, we will pre-treat any spots, spills or stains present on the rug. Next, we will completely submerge the rug in a soap-free water solution, which is safe for all fibers and environmentally friendly. Using gentle rotary tools, we will scrub the rug, attacking dirt at all angles.
Step 4: Fringe Cleaning
After the rug has been cleaned, we will take the time to gently brush and clean the fringe around the perimeter of the rug.
Step 5: Fresh Water Rinsing & Extracting
Using cold water, we will rinse the rug using a machine designed to apply water to rinse while gently extracting water through a wringer process. Through this process, all of the remaining detergents will be removed, while extracting nearly 80% of the water present in the rug.
Step 6: Brushing
Once the rug is dried, we will go over the rug with a final brushing, in order to align the pile within the same direction of the nap.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
ScotchGard ™ Application
To prevent damage from future stains and spills, we will apply Scotchgard™ to the rug. This will ensure the proper protection for your rug once it returns to your home.
Deodorization
We can address smoke or pet odors using an environmentally safe solution that eliminates odors but protects colors from bleeding or fading. It is 100% biodegradable, organic and contains a live enzyme that breaks down the organic molecule of the odor. Applied during the freshwater rinse, our all-natural soap-free deodorizers can dissolve even the toughest odors.

Types of Rugs We Clean (And Why That Matters)
Not all rugs are created equal. A hand-knotted Persian rug deserves a different cleaning approach than a synthetic area rug from your local home store. At our Long Island facility, we handle everything from antique Oriental rugs and delicate silk blends to wool, cotton, and synthetic rugs. Each type comes with its quirks—some bleed color, others shed excessively when mishandled. Knowing the rug’s fiber and construction helps us tailor the cleaning process so your rug gets the deep clean it needs without compromising its integrity.
🔄 Our Rug Cleaning Process
Step by Step, No Gimmicks
People often ask, “What exactly do you do when you clean a rug?” It’s more than just running a vacuum. Our process includes:
- Pre-inspection – to check for damage, stains, and fiber type
- Dust removal – using a specialized dusting machine or hand-beating
- Gentle washing – matched to the rug's material (wool, silk, etc.)
- Spot treatment – for tough stains like wine, pet urine, or ink
- Controlled drying – laid flat or hung, depending on the rug's weight and weave
- Final grooming – brushing and fringe care for a polished finish
This process might sound meticulous, and that’s because it is.
Anything less and your rug doesn’t get the care it deserves.
📍 Why Long Island Locals Trust Us
We’re not a chain. We’re not a corporate franchise. We’re locals—just like you.
Our reputation in Long Island neighborhoods like Huntington, Garden City, and Smithtown wasn’t built overnight. It came from:
- ✅ Delivering consistent results
- ✅ Always showing up on time
- ✅ Being transparent with pricing
We also offer free pickup and drop-off because we know lugging a 9x12 Persian rug into your car isn’t anyone’s idea of fun.
🐾 Rug Problems We Handle Every Day
No rug lives a perfect life. Coffee spills happen. So do muddy paws, dust mites, pet accidents, and years of foot traffic. Here are just a few common issues we deal with:
- • Pet odor and urine stains
- • Wine, ink, and food spills
- • Dust buildup and allergens
- • Color fading from sun exposure
- • Moth damage or fringe unraveling
We’re not magicians, but with the right tools and techniques, we get pretty close. The goal isn’t just to clean your rug—it’s to restore it.
🧪 Eco-Safe Cleaning: Good for Rugs, Safe for Homes
You shouldn’t have to choose between a clean rug and a safe home. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning agents that are tough on dirt but gentle on fibers—and safe around kids and pets.
There’s no lingering chemical smell, and no residue left behind to attract more dirt. It’s the kind of clean that feels just as good as it looks.
