How to Get Your Rug Ready for Expert Cleaning in Lower Manhattan
Step 1: Remove clutter
Before we begin, our Chem-Dry area rug cleaners will vacuum your rug, but larger items like shoes, toys, and other clutter can get in the way. They can also pose a tripping hazard. Clearing these items from your rug beforehand helps ensure a thorough, efficient cleaning and a better environment for everyone.
Step 2: Remove light furniture
Many area rugs sit beneath coffee tables or other small furniture, which can beautifully tie a room together—but these items can get in the way of a proper cleaning. While our technicians are experts in oriental rug cleaning, they aren’t licensed movers. To make the process smoother, move smaller furniture pieces—like coffee tables, plant stands, and floor lamps—to a nearby room before cleaning. Once your rug is clean and dry, you can place everything back in its original spot.
Step 3: Note stains and other focus areas
Sometimes, once you’ve noticed a stain or a flaw on your area rug, that can become all you see whenever you look at the rug. We certainly want to make sure that you are completely satisfied once we have completed your area rug cleaning. If there are any particular areas you want extra care, please share that with your cleaner.
Step 4: Make preparations for your pets
A new person in your house, particularly one bringing new equipment and new smells with them, can potentially agitate your pets, so make sure that you have prepared for this. It might be wise to have your pet stay with a friend or relative, or even closed into another room or the backyard.
Step 5: Clear a path
It can be easy to forget that a technician needs to get himself and his equipment from his vehicle to your front door and from your front door to the rug. Make sure that there is a pathway he can take in order to clean your oriental rug efficiently. Some technicians use equipment that is attached to the van, so it may be a good idea to move cars out of the way so that his van is as close to the entrance as possible.

How do you clean a rug without a steam cleaner?
