Area Rug Cleaning in Poughkeepsie, NY
What Contaminants are Hiding in Your Rugs?
Similar to carpets and upholstered furniture, area rugs act as air filters for the home, trapping dirt and allergens and preventing those unhealthy elements from circulating to other rooms. But area rugs are only able to do this properly if they are maintained and kept clean. Just as an air filter for your home ventilation system needs to be regularly replaced, your carpets, upholstery, and area rugs need to be regularly cleaned. The professionals at Nature Works Chem-Dry provide high quality, green-certified area rug cleaning services in Poughkeepsie, NY, focusing on care and attention to detail. We will restore your rugs to their original beauty while removing dirt and non-living allergens.

How to prepare for a Chem-Dry oriental rug cleaning
Step 1: Remove clutter
First, our Chem-Dry area rug cleaners will vacuum before the main cleaning process, but larger clutter like shoes, toys, and the like can get in the way. Not only that, these items can be a tripping hazard. By removing these items from the area rug, you can help ensure that your rug is cleaned thoroughly, efficiently, and safely.
Step 2: Remove light furniture
Many people place their area rugs underneath coffee tables and other small pieces of furniture. While these focus pieces of furniture can do wonders to tie a room’s decor together, it can get in the way of a cleaning. Our technicians are experts at oriental rug cleaning, but they are not licensed movers. Set furniture pieces—such as coffee tables, plant stands, and floor lamps—to the side in a nearby room, then move them back after the cleaning, once the rug is dry.
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, so if there are any particular areas where you want extra care, take a note of them and share that with the 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
Finally, 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 safely and 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.

★★★★★
Brian was professional, on time and did an excellent job cleaning our furniture and area rugs. There is no chemical smell during or after the cleaning. I would have Brian out again and will use this service in the future! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Brian was great. Not difficult to get a hold of, easy to schedule to meet my needs, showed up exactly on time and most importantly did a fantastic job on my area rugs and wall to wall. Lots of stains on the beige wall to wall which he got out. Fresh smelling, but not strong, right after he left. No soggy carpets or chemical smells to deal with, like some carpet cleaning processes. Highly recommend Brian and his company for your job!
★★★★★
MY RUGS ARE CLEAN!!!
They look and feel like new. Brian is a polite, professional, considerate worker. Gave his name and number to 2 close friends.

How do you clean a rug without a steam cleaner?
To avoid the amount of soap and chemicals often involved with steam cleaning, Chem-Dry employs a process with millions of tiny bubbles, which work together to gently but efficiently remove dirt from the depths of the carpet. This natural method uses 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning.
