Carpet cleaning in Jericho, NY
Jericho work skews toward larger colonials with wool broadloom and stair runners, which is a genuinely different job from cleaning synthetic wall-to-wall.

What we see in Jericho
Wool needs a lower pH and a lower temperature than nylon does, and it browns from the backing up if it's over-wet. A lot of the damage we're called in to correct on Jericho carpet came from a previous cleaner treating wool like polyester — hot, alkaline, and left too wet. The Birchwood section in particular still has a lot of original wool broadloom that's worth cleaning properly rather than replacing, because a well-made wool carpet outlives two or three synthetic ones.
Stair runners are their own line item
A full flight of stair runner takes longer than the equivalent square footage of open floor, and considerably longer if it's wool over a wood tread. The riser, the nose and the tread each need separate attention, and the nose is where the wear concentrates. We price stairs per flight rather than folding them into a room count, because folding them in is how a quote turns into a surprise.
Most requested here: area rug cleaning
Jericho also sends us more hand-knotted rugs than most towns. Those don't get cleaned on your floor — they're picked up, dusted mechanically to pull dry soil out of the foundation, dye-tested, and washed flat at the plant. Surface-cleaning a good rug in place wets the hardwood underneath and reaches maybe a third of the soil.

What a Jericho job usually costs
Jericho homes tend to be larger than the central Nassau average, so quotes here more often cover five or more rooms plus two stair flights, and wool broadloom carries a higher rate than synthetic because it is slower work with controlled drying. Where a Jericho quote surprises people is the stairs: a colonial with a front flight and a back flight is two line items, not one. On the other hand, wool that has been maintained responds extremely well, and a Jericho living room that has not been cleaned in three years usually looks better afterwards than a synthetic carpet of the same age ever will.
Rug pads and hardwood underneath
A great many Jericho homes have good rugs over refinished hardwood, and the rug pad matters more than most people realize. Cheap solid-vinyl and adhesive-backed pads break down over time and leave a sticky residue that bonds to a hardwood finish and lifts it when the rug is moved. If we collect a rug and find that underneath, we will tell you. Felt-and-rubber pads are the safe choice, they hold the rug still without adhesive, and they add enough cushion that the rug itself wears more slowly underfoot.
Booking around holidays and events
The two busiest windows of our year are the run-up to the autumn holidays and the weeks before graduations and summer parties, and Jericho drives a good share of both. If you are hosting, book three to four weeks out rather than the week before, because the last fortnight fills first and the carpet needs a clear day to dry properly before furniture goes back and the house fills with people. The other thing worth planning is order of operations: cleaning carpet before painting is wasted money, and cleaning before a floor sander arrives is worse. Carpets and upholstery come last, after the dusty work is finished.

(516) 894-2880Questions we get
Do you clean wool carpet differently?
Yes. Neutral to slightly acidic pre-spray, lower temperature, and controlled drying. High alkalinity damages wool and over-wetting browns it.
How do you price stair runners?
Per flight, quoted separately from rooms, because a flight of stairs is more labor than an equivalent area of open floor.
Can an old wool carpet be brought back?
Often yes, if the wear is soiling rather than abrasion. Wool is resilient and responds well. If the fiber tips have been cut by grit, that part is permanent.
Do you charge more for wool carpet?
Yes, modestly. Wool needs slower handling, lower temperature and controlled drying, which takes more time on site.
Will you move a large area rug to clean the floor beneath it?
Yes, and we will check the pad while it is up. Old vinyl and adhesive-backed pads damage hardwood finish and are worth replacing.
