Great Neck, Kings Point, Manhasset, Plandome, Port Washington and Sands Point
The northwest corner of Nassau sends Green Choice Oriental Rug Cleaning Long Island more fine rugs per pickup than anywhere else: Persian city rugs, silk Qoms and Herekes, antique estate pieces, and large designer rugs from the Manhasset and Sands Point houses. They are collected weekly, rolled on tubes and wrapped, and washed at the Farmingdale plant by the method each fiber needs. Pickup and delivery are free; drop‑offs are welcome for anyone who wants to watch the inspection.
Book a pickupGreat Neck sends us more fine Persian rugs than any other town on Long Island: Tabriz, Isfahan, Nain, Kashan and Qom pieces, many bought in Iran decades ago or passed down through family, silk rugs on walls and in formal rooms, and owners who usually know exactly what the rug is and expect it to be handled accordingly. Kings Point, Saddle Rock and Great Neck Estates add large room‑size rugs in the waterfront houses.
Manhasset, Plandome, Munsey Park and Flower Hill are older and more traditional: Sarouks and Kermans from the 1930s to 60s in the colonials, Oushaks and Chobis chosen by decorators in the renovated ones, and a strong showing of Tibetan and Nepalese designer rugs in the newer interiors. Port Washington and Sands Point, on the water, add the large Oushaks and Moroccans of the big houses and the sand and damp of the shoreline.
Across the whole area we see more all‑silk rugs, more silk‑highlight rugs and more antiques than in any other part of Long Island, and a corresponding number of rugs that were damaged by a carpet cleaner who did not know what he had. Every rug is fiber‑tested and dye‑tested at inspection before a method is chosen, and silk is never immersed.
Rugs are rolled pile‑out on a tube and wrapped for the route to Farmingdale.
Silk cleaned as wool. The most expensive mistake we repair, and this is where it happens most: a silk Qom or Hereke that was steam‑cleaned and is now stiff, dull and distorted. Much of it recovers with a proper cool hand wash; some does not. Ask what method a cleaner uses before letting anyone touch a silk rug.
Dye bleed on fine Persians. Kashan and Tabriz reds into ivory after hot floor cleaning. Tested and washed cold with a stabilizer at the plant; recent bleeds often reverse.
Estate rugs with weak foundations. Antique Persian and Caucasian rugs coming out of long‑established houses, sometimes with dry rot from a damp basement or garage. Foundation checked before water touches them; we say no when a rug cannot be washed safely.
Large rugs, tight houses. A 12×18 Oushak in a Manhasset colonial with a narrow front hall. Two technicians, rolled on a tube, and we plan the route out of the house before we start.
Wall‑hung silk gone grey. Dust, not dirt; gentle dusting and a hand wash bring the sheen back.
Waterfront damp. Sands Point and Port Washington houses near the water; rugs in ground‑floor rooms pick up mildew smell over a humid summer. A full wash and controlled drying, not a spray.
Rugs from Nassau homes hanging in the plant before dusting and washing.
Same five steps as every pickup; the only local variables are the route day and the drive to Farmingdale.

Often, if it is recent: a stabilizing wash and bleed‑correction treatment recover much of it. We test a small area first and tell you what to expect.
