Expert Flokati Rug Cleaning in New York City
Flokati rugs are a timeless Greek tradition, woven from pure wool with a deep, luxurious pile. While beautiful, these shaggy rugs require specialized cleaning to preserve their texture, thickness, and natural oils. At Rug Cleaning NYC, we provide expert Flokati rug cleaning services in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, using eco-friendly methods proven safe for delicate wool fibers.
With over 25 years of experience and a team of IICRC-certified, licensed, and insured technicians, we combine traditional care with advanced technology to restore your Flokati rug’s softness, volume, and natural beauty.
Why Flokati Rugs Need Specialized Cleaning
Unlike synthetic rugs, Flokati rugs are hand-woven with natural sheep’s wool. Their long pile traps dust, dirt, and allergens deep in the fibers, while improper cleaning can flatten, shrink, or damage the shag.
Challenges unique to Flokati rugs include:
-
High soil retention due to dense wool pile
-
Risk of fiber matting and felting if exposed to excessive moisture
-
Sensitivity to high-alkaline detergents or harsh chemicals
-
Color fading if dyes are not stabilized during cleaning
Our specialized process addresses these risks, ensuring your rug is cleaned safely and thoroughly.

We follow a step-by-step, wool-safe cleaning protocol:
- Detailed Inspection – Identify soil level, stains, fiber condition, and backing structure.
- Dust & Particle Removal – Gentle air dusting and vibration release debris without stressing fibers.
- pH-Balanced Wool Wash – Submersion bath or controlled hand-wash using neutral detergents safe for wool.
