Frequently Asked Questions
Do you clean antique, Persian, and Oriental rugs?
Yes. Nazmiyal specializes in antique, Persian, Oriental, tribal, and collectible handwoven rugs using safe, museum-quality methods.
How much does professional rug cleaning cost in NYC?
Costs vary based on size, fiber, age, and condition. After inspecting your rug, we provide an exact quote before cleaning begins.
How long does cleaning take?
Usually 7–10 business days.
Can you remove pet urine, odors, and stains?
In most cases, yes. Our specialized hand-cleaning techniques are designed to remove odors and treat stains while protecting natural fibers and dyes.
How often should I clean my rug?
Most rugs benefit from professional cleaning every 1–3 years, depending on foot traffic, pets, and environmental conditions.
Is rug cleaning different from rug washing?
Yes. “Cleaning” removes surface soil and stains; “washing” is a deeper process involving full water immersion and controlled drying. We evaluate each rug to determine the safest method.

Rugs must be dropped off by appointment at our Manhattan showroom. If you need help, we’re happy to advise you on the easiest way to transport your rug.

Yes, it is one of our specialties.
