For more than 140 years, Costikyan has specialized in professional area rug cleaning for fine rugs, and custom textiles. Our fiber-specific cleaning process safely removes embedded dirt, allergens, stains, and odors. Every rug is individually inspected and cleaned using techniques tailored to its age, fiber, construction, and condition.
Since 1886, Costikyan has specialized in professional rug cleaning for Oriental, Persian, antique, designer, and luxury area rugs worldwide.
Every rug is individually inspected before we create a customized cleaning plan. Our fiber-specific cleaning methods safely remove embedded soil, allergens, stains, and odors while preserving the color, texture, and craftsmanship that define every fine rug.
Every rug is photographed, tagged, and inspected for fiber type, dyes, weave, wear, stains, and existing damage before cleaning begins.
Using hand-cleaning or fiber-specific equipment, we remove embedded soil, stains, and odors before controlled water extraction and climate-controlled drying.
Each rug receives a post-cleaning inspection before being carefully protected, returned to your home, and professionally placed.

Before & After
Drag the slider to see how professional area rug cleaning revives color, clarity, and texture while protecting each rug’s fibers and craftsmanship.
Standard cleaners typically use one-size-fits-all methods. We customize every step, from inspection and fiber-specific cleaning solutions to hand-washing delicate pieces and climate-controlled drying. Our artisans combine 135+ years of heritage techniques with state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring fine rugs receive the specialized care they require.
We tailor our approach to each rug’s materials, construction, and condition. From pH-balanced solutions to climate-controlled drying, every step preserves structural integrity, color vibrancy,
and fiber quality. Five generations of experience with museums and estates means your investment receives proven, expert treatment.
We assess each stain’s composition and the rug’s fiber type before treatment. Our specialists use targeted techniques for delicate materials like silk blends, hand-tufted wool, and natural dyes, with a history of success in removing many embedded stains while protecting color integrity and fiber structure that standard cleaners may compromise.
